My husband, son and I were walking to a friend's birthday party on Sunday morning (3/25) on New York City's Upper East Side when we started seeing the crew trucks for a movie set. We soon learned that they were filming the Bourne Ultimatum in my neighborhood.

We made our way to the street where they were filming and next thing we knew, they were filming a scene with Matt Damon limping down the street. We started talking to a member of the crew who told us he is one of the nicest guys in the world and urged me to ask him to take a picture with me. I worked up the nerve to ask him just as he came our way, but my husband said that he looked like he was getting into character and to not disturb him.

As they filmed the scene, the crewmember asked me if I had taken the picture, and I said no, and he said that I really should ask, he is a great guy. So again, I summoned up the courage to ask and as I went to ask, a security guard shooed me away! I was so disappointed, but at the same time, it was cool to just be within five feet of him. He was great-looking in person - even with fake blood and sweat covering his face!
