MATT DAMON'S PROM NIGHT FROM HELL

MATT DAMON'S PROM NIGHT FROM HELL

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Many teenage girls would love to take Matt Damon to their prom -- but that wasn't the case with the girl Damon took to his own prom in 1988. According to the upcoming book, "Matt Damon: An Unauthorized Biography," (Renaissance Books), Damon's dream date turned his night into the prom from hell. First of all, the girl played for the high school basketball team and was about half a foot taller than the diminutive Damon. Although the "Good Will Hunting" star had a big crush on the girl, she broke his heart by ditching him at the prom and leaving with another guy. Poor Matt just sat at a table waiting for her. By now, totally rejected and crushed, Matt admits he spent the rest of his prom night -- in his words -- "...hopelessly in love, crying myself to sleep." These days, things are a little better for Damon, who is currently dating Winona Ryder.
