Weintraub, who produced the film franchise that began with Ocean's Eleven in 2001, became the first film producer to leave his imprints in cement at the site.

"I know this is all about me and not about these three guys," Weintraub said.

Damon added: "It should be noted this isn't the first time somebody tried to put Jerry Weintraub's feet in cement."
