Jason Bourne actor Matt Damon criticizes character of James Bond

Matt Damon insists that James Bond is 'an imperialist and a misogynist' . The actor, who plays on-the-run spy Jason Bourne in the hit movie franchise based on author Robert Ludlum's literary series, insists that his character is a bit better than the suave Brit spy - reports Times Of India.

"Bond is part of the system. He's an imperialist and a misogynist, and he laughs at killing people , and he sits there slugging martinis," US Weekly quoted him, as saying.

He points out that on the other hand, Bourne is aa very different persona - he's a man who is against his own establishment and is doing everything he can to get away from it.

"It'll never be the same thing as this, because Bourne is a guy who is against the establishment , who is paranoid and on the run. I just think fundamentally they're just very different things," he added.

Damon will now be seen once again as his famous character when the new movie in the series The Bourne Ultimatum, releases in August this year.
