It doesn’t matter how successful you are or how regimented your diet is—nobody’s immune to the occasional craving. Even the Hollywood heroes and professional athletes you’d assume eat follow the strictest diets still have their weak spots, whether it’s Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s love of cornbread with peanut butter and honey or Travis Kelce’s affinity for Uncrustables.

The same goes for Matt Damon.

As he geared up to play Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, Damon adjusted his eating habits to meet the physical demands of the role. He’s recently committed to a fairly strict gluten-free lifestyle, which puts some of Damon’s longtime staples like bread, pasta, and beer off the table.

Instead, he’s focused on what he calls the “functional stuff”: protein shakes, salmon dinners, and veggie-forward sides that keep him fueled through long days on set.

But even with that disciplined approach, Damon still has room for a fast food run every now and then. In a recent interview, he shared his go-to drive-thru combo, and it’s hard to argue with his picks.

Matt Damon’s Favorite Fast Food Order

In an interview with Delish, Matt Damon revealed his favorite fast food stop: In-N-Out.

Truthfully, that doesn’t come as much of a surprise. The California burger chain has long been a go-to for Hollywood’s biggest names, from Jason Momoa and Kelly Ripa to Zendaya. Between the fresh beef patties, made-to-order burgers, and cult-favorite secret menu, it’s easy to see why In-N-Out inspires the kind of loyalty it does.

But when it comes to fries, Damon is headed elsewhere.

“I love In-N-Out, but they don’t have the best fries. I would have to default to the McDonald’s fries,” he shared.

We’re inclined to agree, that’s the right call.

McDonald’s World Famous Fries have been setting the standard for decades. Made with a blend of Russet Burbank and Shepody potatoes, they’re fried until crisp and golden. Better yet, they’re remarkably consistent. More often than not, you know exactly what you’re getting: a piping-hot order that’s crispy, perfectly salted, and so good you might not even reach for the ketchup.

McDonald’s may not currently hold the title for the best fast food fries in America, depending on who you ask, but they’re still one of the single most iconic items on any drive-thru menu. Plenty of chains make great fries, but few have fries that people crave the way they crave McDonald’s.

So if Matt Damon decides to cash in on a cheat day after wrapping up the press tour for The Odyssey and closing the chapter of one of the most physically demanding performances of his career, we’d like to think he’s making two stops: In-N-Out for the burger and McDonald’s for the fries. That’s a drive-thru combo worth the extra stop in our book.
