Matt Damon and Ben Affleck dish on a scene that got cut from their new period drama, 'The Last Duel.'
is a serious look at 1300s France -- but the stars say that some historical accuracy may have been a little too unexpected for audiences., and they revealed that one scene almost had Damon planting a kiss on Affleck. However, the scene instead featured Damon kneeling instead."I actually have to kneel before him," Damon added with a laugh. "Once he started directing, that's actually how I have to get in his house.
In the film, Damon stars as Jean de Carrouges, a French knight during the Hundred Years War who was involved in the last officially sanctioned duel in France's history. Affleck stars as Count Pierre d'Alençon, a French nobleman. "In the original actual version of that scene -- the way that ceremony actually took place was that you kissed everybody on the mouth," Affleck explained."And we had that in the script.""It's going to have to wait," Affleck quipped.
Unfortunately for fans who hope to see it as a deleted scene, the writers explained that it never even made it into the final script after director Ridley Scott nixed it from the start."Yeah the two characters really hate each other and that was really fun," Damon recalled."In fact, the scene where I kneel before him, Ben just improvised this thing where I started to say my line and he just interrupted me and goes, 'Closer.
