Matt Damon told George Clooney to "suck it, sexy boy" when he was named most bankable star by Forbes.
The 36-year-old actor immediately contacted his 'Ocean's Thirteen' co-star - who has twice been named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive - to boast that he had finally trumped him in a poll.
When asked if he had revelled in his 'victory', Matt - who has made a fortune playing former CIA assassin Jason Bourne in the 'Bourne' trilogy - told BANG Showbiz: "Oh yeah! The email that went out to George said, 'Suck it, sexy boy!' and I attached the article.
"And he wrote back, 'Yeah, that's great, I had that read to me by one of my servants at my villa!' "
According to the poll, Matt - whose first two 'Bourne' movies banked $500 million, while the third instalment 'The Bourne Ultimatum' topped the US box office in its opening week - makes the studio $29 for every dollar he is paid.
Brad Pitt came second on the Ultimate Star Payback list, making $24 for every dollar, while Vince Vaughn was in joint third place with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star Johnny Depp.
Former 'Friends' actress Jennifer Aniston was the highest-ranked female at number five.
