Rising Star Matthew Goode From "The Lookout," Dreams Of Holding Up A Bank With A Banana
 
Since when did moviestars have to borrow money from their sister to pay their rent? Where's this guy living, Buckingham Palace?Â
British actor Matthew Goode, who plays Gary the no'er-do-well in the new film, The Lookout, which is about a guy who suffered a traumatic brain injury and is subsequently duped into committing a bank robbery is having real-life thoughts about robbing a bank, well not real real-life, just fantasies.Â
In the movie, Matt tricks head-trauma victim Joseph Gordon-Levitt's character into helping him rob a bank.  The film, likely to be a hit, is the directorial debut by screenwriter Scott Frank, who's best known for writing the screenplays for Minority Report, Get Shorty and Out Of Sight. The Lookout has gotten mostly good reviews as being suspenseful and engaging. It also stars Isla Fischer, Sacha Baron Cohen's (Borat) pregnant fiancee.
Back to Matt and his bankrobbing dreaming sequence — recently he said this about his financial woes:
"It would be nice to have a bit of cash right now. I'd pretty much walk up to a bank teller with a banana in my jacket, so I could just laugh it off if I got arrested, and say, 'I was just a bit drunk officer, I'm so sorry.' I could get away with anything with a British accent over here in America, but in England they'd be like, 'Listen, you tosser, you're not taking the money."Â He added, "I've been borrowing rent money from my sister for the last three months."
He's right, in America all you need is to be famous and you can pretty much get away with anything. The British accent and the banana, well that's just a little extra insurance. Matt hopes to finally score a real paycheck — legally — with his upcoming films The Brideshead Revisited and Copying Beethoven, also starring Ed Harris and Diane Kruger. Some of his previous filmwork was in Chasing Liberty with Mandy Moore, and Match Point, which starred Scarlett Johannson and John Rhys-Meyers.
He can "rob" me with a banana if he wants. And by rob I mean...well, you know what I mean *wink*
