At the 2024 Oscars on March 10, Jimmy Kimmel, the host of the show, added a furry twist to his ongoing banter with actor Matt Damon.
The comedian brought in Messi, the lovable 7-year-old border collie from the award-winning movie "Anatomy of Fall," for a light-hearted prank.
As the Oscars broadcast came to a close, Jimmy Kimmel took a final jab at Matt Damon. The camera caught Messi, the adorable dog, making a surprise appearance near Matt's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In a funny twist,?Messi decided to mark his territory with a quick pee before dashing away.
Jimmy and Matt's playful feud began as a harmless joke on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
The late-night host would comically apologise to Matt Damon, claiming they ran out of time for him on the show.
Over the years, Jimmy continued to poke fun at Matt Damon whenever he had the chance.
Notable moments include the 2017 Oscars, where Jimmy pretended to bury the hatchet with Matt before jokingly calling him a "jerk" later in the broadcast.
Matt Damon reciprocated with his own antics, like booing Jimmy and flashing a middle finger when the late-night host celebrated 20 years of his show.
While Matt Damon wasn't present at the 2024 Academy Awards, the night was filled with joy for other winners who took home coveted Oscars.?
