Matt Damon is a busy man. He has always had a lot going on and is one of the true movie stars remaining in the world today. But, while he is winding down the build-up for one of the biggest projects of his career, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, he is not distracted from his lifelong project to bring clean water to millions around the world. Get Blue is a new initiative launched to further that mission. It is partnering with a ton of your favorite brands so you can easily get on board and bring this goal closer to shore. One of the ways he is doing this is by bringing attention to the cause by stepping into a new role of The Nomad, a rapper spittin’ rhymes about water.
Music moves people in ways that few things can. It connects us, crosses borders, and makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. That’s what Get Blue is built on. I won’t stop looking for creative ways to draw attention, encourage participation and drive donations to help solve the global water crisis. – Matt Damon
How can you help?
First things first: 2 billion people in the world don’t have access to clean water. That is 1 in 4 people. That is a stat that is hard to believe in 2026. But it is real, and it is something Matt Damon and his partner, Gary White, take seriously. With Get Blue, you can shop at Starbucks, Amazon, and GAP, along with partners EcoLab, TikTok, and AccuWeather, for part of the proceeds to go towards making Damon’s lifelong Odyssey close to coming to an end.
“Water.org has changed the future for more than 90 million people, proving our solutions work at scale,” says Gary White, CEO and co-founder of Water.org. “To bring water home for everyone, everywhere within our lifetimes, we have to scale even faster. That’s why Water.org launched Get Blue — a community built on collaboration, bringing together industry leaders, creators, and people to take action. When brands join us, they invite their communities into this work. That is how progress happens — one person, one action at a time.”

Above, you can watch the The Odyssey actor step into character in a different way to bring awareness to the cause in a humorous way. Also, can we all just take in the fact that now Matt Damon has MULTIPLE musical characters? Who is for a Donny spin-off from Eurotrip…? I would love to see how the success of Scotty Doesn’t Know changed his life. Are he and Fiona still together? Wait, is Nomad actually the same character? Fan theories abound.
