Matt Damon almost started crying when he found out that George and Amal Clooney are having twins. (Same here, Matt.) "I was so happy for him," the actor said. Apparently George dropped the news to him when Amal was already eight weeks pregnant with a girl and a boy. But after the news had sunk in, Damon, a concerned friend, seemed worried about how the soon-to-be parents will be able to handle two newborns at the same time.
"I don't how how anybody does twins," he said on Ellen. "Those sleepless nights, and then there's two of them? There's just no way. But we'll see what happens to him."

The actor is already a dad himself, with four children ranging from six to 18 years old. Although Clooney, 55, tried to compare their experiences of fatherhood, Damon, 46, pointed out that having four kids and having twins are not exactly the same. "He said to me, he was like, 'Well you have four,' and I said, 'Yeah, but not at once.' We did it one at a time," he joked.
While Clooney, is expecting his first children, Damon and his other friends either already have a child in college or are about to send one off to school. "All of those guys, their kids are either in college or on their way, and now George is getting started. So it's good, it's pretty funny. I think they're having a good time with him."
If the baby news means we'll see some Clooney-Damon dad dates in the future, we are here for it. Watch the actor's full interview with Ellen DeGeneres below.
