Lisa is good friends with Matt and wife Luciana, who she affectionately calls Lucy, after meeting when she dated fellow Hollywood star and old pal of Matt – George Clooney.
She first met the Ocean’s the actor, 64, in 2000, when they starred in a Martini commercial together, and they proceeded to have an on/off relationship for the next five years, before finally calling it a day.
Reflecting on their romance to The Sun, Lisa recalled: ‘George was charming, a really nice man, good fun and we had a great time. It was quite wild.’
She added: ‘Sometimes I think it will be written on my tombstone — “George Clooney once dated Lisa Snowdon.”‘
But she stayed tight-lipped on the saucier details that fans wanted to know, saying: ‘I never tell’, in response to questions about George’s sexual prowess.
And while she has lost touch with George over the years, she has maintained her friendship with his Ocean’s Eleven co-star Matt .
The Damons were in attendance at Lisa’s 40th birthday party in London, and she and George were Matt’s guests at the star-studded Oppenheimer premiere in 2023.
Lisa and George even chose to use the premiere of Jason Bourne to make their red carpet debut as a couple, back in July 2016.

And while she has lost touch with George over the years, she has maintained her friendship with his Ocean’s Eleven co-star Matt (Matt and George seen in 2001)
The couple first met two decades prior and had been long-time friends before their relationship became romantic in 2015, with George cementing his love for Lisa the following year, by getting down on one knee.
During her stint on I’m A Celebrity in 2016, Lisa opened up on her friendship with Matt to her campmates.
Trying to distract themselves from their feelings of hunger in camp, she suggested her fellow celebs imagine they were in a movie they were having to lose weight for ‘like Matt Damon, he’s always having to do extreme stuff’.
She casually followed her example by adding: ‘He’s a friend of mine. He came to my birthday party. He’s really nice.’
Quizzed over her history with the star, Lisa explained she’d met him while ‘dating somebody else’ in reference to George, and had bonded with Luciana.
She said: ‘I got really close to his wife when I was dating somebody else, he’s a good dude, and we’ve stayed with him and stuff.
‘When he goes on the extreme diet thing his workouts are insane and I just try and channel that kind of stuff.’
And in 2022, the TV star gushed over both Luciana and Matt, saying: ‘They’re really close friends. Matt’s wicked; he’s brilliant.’
