Holt says Eisenberg is a huge NBA fan and had always wanted to attend a Thunder game.
“Jesse is a huge NBA fan and said it was a dream to attend a Thunder game in OKC. Always happy to oblige!” said Holt on Facebook. “Even more importantly, we love our fast-growing film industry that brings so many talented people like Jesse to Oklahoma and allows our homegrown talent to work in the industry they love right in their backyard.”
On Saturday, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol posted a photo of OHP troopers with Matt Damon in Coyle.
“Our troopers might be in some scenes! They’re using real OHP and local police and fire!” said OHP on Facebook.
