Matt Damon 'won't mind kissing Michael Douglas'

Matt Damon has said that he doesn't mind having to kiss Michael Douglas during filming for their new project, as he can pretend that he is kissing Douglas's wife Catherine Zeta-Jones instead.

The actor will star opposite Douglas as the lover of famous pianist Liberace in a new biopic, which begins filming this summer.

"i never thought I would get to kiss Michael Douglas," Damon admitted to People.

"I kind of think of it in algebra terms, back to my high school days. It's like the transitive property. By kissing Michael Douglas, I am making out with Catherine [Zeta-Jones]."

Damon also admitted that it is likely to be the closest that he comes to getting a kissing scene with the Welsh actress, having missed out on the opportunity when the two worked together on Ocean's Twelve.

"I was actually kind of upset that I never got to kiss Catherine," the actor added.

Douglas recently admitted that he has been teasing Damon about their upcoming scenes together.

Steven Soderbergh's Liberace has yet to receive an official release date.
