Matt Damon Spotted At Mexican Bullfight

By Michael Lopez

Something tells us Matt Damon won't be appearing in any PETA ads in the near future. The Contagion star recently smiled for the paparazzi at a gritty bullfight in Mexico's La Monumental stadium.

It's a little unclear what Matt was doing ringside for the toro festival (neither his Latina wife nor his famous friends were spotted with him). Could he have been researching an upcoming matador role? Damon was certainly not talking to the press and even appeared to be incognito, dressed in a dark jacket and baseball hat.

Though bullfights have been a Latin American tradition for centuries, many animal rights groups have criticized the sport, calling it inhumane. In fact, Matt may already be experiencing a bit of backlash for his appearance (and apparent cheering) at the event.

According to The Daily Mail, Damon was just killing time on a day off from shooting his new movie Elysium. Perhaps if he wanted to avoid the bad press, he should've spent the afternoon hanging out with Diego Luna instead.

Do you think bullfights are inhumane? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
