Matt Lauer isn't a fan of germs. He admits to using Purell between six or seven times a day.

That's why Matt Damon's new movie, "Contagion," about an incurable pandemic may be the anchor's worst nightmare. "You're not going to like this movie," Damon said.

"Why would you do this to me?" Matt joked to the actor while donning a surgical mask. "I saw it yesterday. I haven't taken this off since."

Matt eventually took off the mask, and the conversation turned to Damon's new hairstyle.

He calls it "The Lauer." Matt tossed back that "it's a little more Roker than Lauer." Check out the amusing exchange below.

The shaved head is for a 2013 film Damon is working on called "Elysium."
