Matt Damon, the Oscar winning actor, is live from the Cannes Film Festival and chats to Zoe about his brand new movie, 'Stillwater'. In the film an unemployed roughneck called Bill Baker (played by Matt Damon) travels from Oklahoma to Marseille to visit his estranged daughter Allison. Imprisoned for a murder she claims she did not commit, Allison seizes on a new tip that could exonerate her and presses Bill to engage her legal team. But Bill, eager to prove his worth and regain his daughters trust, takes matters into his own hands. Hailing from Boston, Matt attended Harvard University and gained his first acting experience with the American Repertory Theatre. He made his feature film debut in 鈥楳ystic Pizza鈥�, followed by roles in 鈥楽chool Ties鈥�, Walter Hill鈥檚 鈥楪eronimo: An American Legend鈥�, the cable project鈥檚 鈥楻ising Son鈥� and Tommy Lee Jones鈥� 鈥楾he Good Old Boys鈥�. However, it was Damon鈥檚 portrayal of a guilt-ridden Gulf War veteran tormented by memories of a battlefield incident in 1996鈥檚 鈥楥ourage Under Fire鈥� that first put him on the radar of both critics and audiences alike.

Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30!

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

One thing I鈥檝e always done in my life is try to focus on the goal. The Destination. The prize. From an exam result, to saving for a first car or house, the end point has always been where my eyes are fixed.

听

When I first picked up a pen at 11 years old and started writing rap lyrics, I thought to myself, I鈥檇 love to win a MOBO award or听听a Grammy. I鈥檓 still waiting on the Grammy, but I鈥檝e won a few MOBO鈥檚. In 2010 when I won my first one, I remember walking the red carpet with paparazzi taking pictures. Sounds glamorous but to be honest they probably didn鈥檛 know who I was.

听

听Anyway, I remember meeting some of the people I鈥檓 a fan of. From Trevor Nelson, to Dizzee Rascal to Billy Ocean. I picked up the award from Reggie Yates who was presenting on the night, and as I stood there giving my speech, I realised that my satisfaction and jubilation didn鈥檛 come from the prize, it came from the journey.

听

听Without wanting to sound ungrateful, because I鈥檓 far from,听听it dawned on me that the challenge of the journey, the hard work, the hours in the studio, the rejection, the curve balls and the fact that i managed to overcome all of that, was way听听more beautiful, satisfying, and humbling than receiving the prize.听

听

The truth is, before the game even kicked off last night, England were already winners. It鈥檚 been a journey of successfully uniting a country that felt divided. A journey of trying their best on the pitch, and fighting for justice off of it. A journey of Gareth Southgate missing a penalty in 1996, to him leading England to the finals of the Euro鈥檚 in 2021. Any prize that comes as a result of that will be fulfilling I鈥檓 sure, but even if not, so much has already been achieved and overcome.听

听

My mum used to say this Psalm to me before bed when I was younger.听Psalm 23:4:听Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me.听If a great result comes, then great, but if not I trust that I鈥檓 not alone and the journey will still teach me some valuable lessons along the way.听
