Michael Douglas And Matt Damon Done Up As Liberace And His Gay Boyfriend

During their relationship, Liberace paid for Scott to have plastic surgery to look more like him – he enjoyed pretending Scott was his son. Matt makes a rather fetching pretty boy – in the scene above the two are shopping for a new car. The photo below is the real Liberace and Cherin character as Laverne.
