Matt Damon is no stranger to real-life bromances (just ask Ben Affleck, John Krasinski, George Clooney, et al). But when it comes to the big screen, he's ditching his platonic pals and both getting naked and puckering up to Michael Douglas.

And he did so with gusto.

Speaking to Playboy magazine about his upcoming role opposite Douglas in the upcoming Steven Soderbergh-directed HBO flick, Damon said his previous aversion to dropping trou in front of the cameras went out the window in his latest role.

"Normally I'd say no to nudity, but I just did a lot of it playing the longterm partner of Liberace, Scott Thorson, in Behind the Candelabra," he said. "I mean, it's tastefully done...but the movie's not going to be for everyone.

"For one scene, I had to come out of the pool, go over to Michael Douglas, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him. It's not like I kiss him just once. We drew it up like a football plan."
