Matt Damon's stepsister was stunned when she landed an audition for the Hollywood star's new movie - and was told she'd be playing his lover.
Model-turned-actress Sarah Bradford, 22, grew up with the Oscar winner, after her mother and his father married.

Fortunately the sordid story ended on a positive note for the young actress: "I just read for a more appropriate role in the movie, Elise's friend, and I got the part. It's very exciting. What parents wouldn't want their children to work together."...
