Damon says he talked himself out of starring in Ted

Looking back on his career, Damon said he loved the script for Seth MacFarlane’s 2012 comedy Ted. The part he was considering was John, best friend to a foul-mouthed teddy bear; Mark Wahlberg ultimately played him. Damon says the trouble wasn’t the material: he overthought the decision and talked himself out of starring. It’s a particular kind of near-miss—being drawn to the script, then finding a way to argue yourself away from it.
