John Strong Mistakes Matt Damon for Brad Pitt on Fox World Cup Final Broadcast
Fox announcers corrected the mistake after spotting Matt Damon in the crowd, where celebrities attended the scoreless World Cup final.
- Fox broadcast crew misidentified actor Matt Damon as Brad Pitt during Sunday's World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, while announcers John Strong and Stu Holden were spotting celebrities.
- The celebrity confusion occurred while Spain faced Argentina in the World Cup final, though Brad Pitt was likely not in attendance despite the broadcast team's on-air claim.
- "Oh, that's Matt Damon," Stu Holden corrected his partner after Strong mistakenly identified the Ocean franchise star attending with his wife Luciana Damon.
- Damon, who starred in the Christopher Nolan-directed blockbuster The Odyssey released July 17, recently discussed his Argentinian allegiance during a press tour.
- Coincidentally, Damon and Pitt both starred in the Ocean franchise, and Pitt previously portrayed Greek hero Achilles in the 2004 film Troy, based on Homer's The Illiad.
