The 48-year-old actor plays late race car driver Carroll Shelby in the upcoming film, 'Ford v. Ferrari.'
Matt Damon's character is literally on fire in the upcoming movie, Ford v. Ferrari.
A stunt double for the 48-year-old actor was spotted shooting a fiery scene for the film on Tuesday at a private airport outside of Los Angeles.
The player above contains footage of the stunt double for Damon -- who portrays late race car driver and automotive designer Carroll Shelby -- getting set ablaze. If you look closely, you can see that the stunt was done by lighting the back of a jacket on fire. Once production got the shot they needed, the crew helped put out the flames with blankets and a fire extinguisher.
Directed by James Mangold, Ford v. Ferrari is based on a true story and also stars Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal and Caitriona Balfe. It's scheduled to hit theaters on June 28, 2019.
