Ashton Eaton Gets Surprise Message From Will Smith and Matt Damon
After winning his second Olympic gold medal in the decathlon, Ashton Eaton received a surprise message from Will Smith and Matt Damon. The result was a total freakout from the world record-holder. 

"If I was going to the Olympics, I'd want to be a decathlete," Smith said in the video message to Eaton. "When someone wins a gold in the decathlon, that is the superman of the Olympics."

Eaton was handed a laptop during a People Magazine interview where he opened a video to see Smith and Damon's individual congratulatory messages. 

"I'd say Jason Bourne would be a decathlete," Damon said. 

Meanwhile, Eaton and his wife Brianne Theisen-Eaton were in complete shock to see the two movie stars on the screen. 

"Ashton, kick some ass, get two in a row, everybody is rooting for you," Damon said. 

The world's greatest athlete won his second Olympic gold with a total of 8,893 points in Rio de Janeiro.
