Matt Damon Dumps Toilet Water Over Head, And More Of 'What's Trending Today' With Zahra

Would you dump toilet water over your head?

The viral Ice Bucket Challenge that's raising funds for ALS has made its way to Matt Damon. The actor, however, doesn't just pour regular water over himself. Damon, instead, fishes out water from every toilet bowl in his house. Sounds disgusting? Yes. But his explanation actually makes sense.

"[The challenge] posed kind of a problem for me, not only because there is a drought here in California but also I co-founded Water.org and we envision a day when everybody has access to clean drinking water... so putting a clean bucket of water on my head seemed a little crazy," said Damon.

He continued, "For those of you, like my wife, who thinks this is really disgusting, keep in mind that the water in our toilets in the west is actually cleaner than the water that most people in the developing world has access to."

We'll give you this one Matt Damon.

That doesn't surprise me.
