Matthew Goode is God Damned Glorious
Let it be written
My dream is to one day own a country house on the shore in England, have gotten married, wipe some debt off and get a few more good films. I hope I’m doing this for my whole life, not just a wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am.
Matthew Goode’s five favorite roles
CHASING LIBERTY — What’s not to like? It was wonderful shooting in Europe, you gather great friends and have great experiences. MATCH POINT — It was very intimidating at first, working for Woody Allen and for the first few days I kept saying ‘I’m definitely getting fired.’ But it turned out to be the most relaxed shoot I’ve ever been on. BRIDESHEAD REVISITED — It can be troublesome if you’re the narrator of the story and you barely speak in the film, but when you work with extraordinary people, you only get better yourself. WATCHMEN — Wearing a neoprene suit is gosh-darn hot. That’s what I learned. I also learned that the bigger the budget, the more time you spend sitting in your trailer. A SINGLE MAN — Tom Ford was one of the most prepared directors I ever worked for and Colin Firth is the kind of mate you want to chum around with forever, especially after a few drinks.
I’m not posh, not in the slightest. My parents spent some money on my education, but I wasn’t born to the purple. My dad was a geologist and my mum was a nurse who directed amateur theatrics. She was an orphan, was my mum, and she always had it in her head that she was really Laurence Olivier’s love child.

“Why doesn’t everybody just get on drugs? Make it fair. Take whatever the f&$@#! you like, and let’s see who’s the quickest! Seriously, jam it in! Let’s see what you’ve got.”
