From his time at Harvard, Matt Damon has an unexpected link to the Supreme Court.

During a Harvard drama class, Matt Damon met Ketanji Brown Jackson, who later became a Supreme Court Justice.

During a course at an Ivy League university, Jackson asserted that she and the Oscar winner were assigned as scene partners.

""CBS Sunday Morning" featured Jackson discussing "Waiting for Godot," stating that he believed the play would not be remembered by its audience."

"He was already well-known around campus and off campus, so it was exciting to be his scene partner for a particular class."

The actor from "The Bourne Identity" was one year older than Jackson, she stated. Jackson remembered that he and Damon had memorized the scene from Samuel Beckett's absurdist play.

"At the end, the professor said, ‘Ketanji, you were very good. Matt, we’ll talk.' I was like, ‘Oh my God, I was better than Matt Damon in a scene!" — Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

Matt Damon and Emily Blunt star in 'Openheimer,' a film about loving life in the same building.

"The professor praised Ketanji for being very good, while telling Matt that they would talk, and Ketanji exclaimed, 'I was better than Matt Damon in a scene!'"

Planet Chronicle Digital did not receive an immediate response from Damon and Jackson when requested for comment.

In 2022, Damon's representative stated that the actor did not recall working with Jackson at Harvard but was still enthusiastic about the film's narrative.

In that year, Damon expressed his admiration for Jackson's appointment as the first Black female justice in the country.

At Harvard University, Damon did not complete his undergraduate courses. He was said to be 12 credits short of graduating to appear in "Geronimo: An American Legend."

After completing his studies at university, the actor from Hollywood went on to star in several critically acclaimed films that were nominated for Oscars. He later received the Academy Award, sharing it with his close friend Ben Affleck, for their successful screenplay, "Good Will Hunting."

In "Oppenheimer," directed by Christopher Nolan, Damon starred alongside Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, and other Hollywood celebrities. This film won best picture at this year's Oscars.
