Guess The Celebrity Nape!
Posted by Seth at 9:00 AM on May 8, 2008
Remember those Eyeball Benders at the back of Games magazine? No? OK, never mind. Let's just call this a photoquiz! Everyone loves a photoquiz—triple that when it's a Celebrity Photoquiz. And so now we gesture in the vicinity of the above photo—a graceful study of the nape (one of the most underrated body-parts) of an Oscar-winning superstar. Any guesses? The answer is after the jump:

It's none other than Hollywood's most likable fella, Matt Damon! Here we see Matt mobbed by fans in Decatur, IL. He's there shooting Steven Soderbergh's The Informant, in which he plays Mark Whitacre, the real-life whistle-blower in the mid-90's lysine price-fixing conspiracy that rocked the agricultural-feed world. It's a look that caused at least one online fan to recoil in horror, a finger outstretched and the other hand covering their mouths as they gasped, "PEDOSTACHE!"
Congratulations to everyone who guessed correctly!

See, I knew I had an inappropriate lusting, but never was it more clear to me then when I could pick him out from the nape alone. I recognized a freakin' mole! A mole!

Do I really need to remind you all not to mention the answer in your comments?

Are you sure he's playing Mark Whitacre? It looks like he's starring in some sort of Val Kilmer biopic.

Let's all just take a moment to remember what really matters, here: Biff Tannen is starring with Matt Damon in a Steven Soderbergh film.

@jeremyc: MD plays Val Kilmer?
My panties cannot take it...
@Seth: Talk to overlord Denton and see if he can disable the "last comment" feature.

I shoulda guessed this from the freckles or whatever they are. Still, eep! He looks like Mister Rogers playing a pederast!

I was thinking Joaquin Phoenix (why? don't know), but he was only nominated, right?
That front view is scary, esp. the downturned portions.
(Okay, I'll go back to the geekier blogs of the family now. Thank you for letting me play with the cool kids.)

If not for the "Oscar-winning" qualifier, I was totally going to guess Bob Saget.

T-Bagging is much more fun when a mustache is involved

@major disaster: With the same caveat, I was going to say Tobey McGuire.
Also the plaid shirt collar and sweater, which just reek of 1981.
I see Matt is sporting the '70's era mustache that MSN.Com said a few weeks ago was coming back to put the goatees and Van Dykes on the fashion death list.
Good luck with that. In No. Texas, almost every male you see who isn't in no facial hair mode is stylin' with the circle of fur around the mouth. Gay, straight, blue collar or white collar and I don't see it going away anytime soon.
