OlderMatt Damon Gets ‘Walk of Fame’ Star
Angel-faced actor Matt Damon is honored with the well-deserved 2,343th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Not too long ago, he had his handprints and footprints cemented at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater alongside George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
“I can’t believe I’m standing on a star with my name on it. I’m going to show my kids that,” Matt beamed during the ceremony. “A few times in my life I’ve had these experiences that are just kind of too big to process and this looks like it’s going to be one of those times.”
“Ben and I lived in a really crappy apartment about five blocks away from here and we used to walk up and down here. It’ll probably sink in when I’ve walked down the street in about six months and see someone peeing on my star,” he laughed.
Matt was accompanied by his wife Luciana Barroso, his mother Nancy Carlsson-Paige (a professor of education at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA), Mayor of Hollywood Johnny Grant and Bourne director Paul Greengrass
Expect more Matt coverage tonight — the world premiere of The Bourne Ultimatum is tonight in Los Angeles!
In the meantime, check out this snippet of Variety’s review of the film: “If they could bottle what gives The Bourne Ultimatum its rush, it would probably be illegal. The third and purportedly final installment in the mountingly exciting series is a pounding, pulsating thriller that provides an almost constant adrenaline surge for nearly two hours. Worldwide B.O. will be terrific and likely surpass that for each of the previous two pictures, which combined pulled down more than $500 million.”

Congrats to Matt!!!!
well deserved recognition
D.a.m.n. he is ugly! GAWWWD!
I’m happy for him, he’s a great actor. Nice to see his Mommy joined him for this special ocassion.
Matt and Lucy are looking great! And nice to see his mom there too.
Congrats!!!! I happy for you Matt.
his wife looks great! Congrats Matt! You’re a great actor!!
He’s just now getting one? That surprises me a little. He’s such a great actor, I can’t wait for the Bourne Ultimatim.
He didn’t ‘get’ it he bought it. lol They all buy it and you too can have one for a fee. I believe in the segment on a news channel that it’s something like 10 grand just to get an ‘interview’ then they decide wether or not to ‘give’ it to you and if not you don’t get that money back.
So it kinda makes it pointless to congradulate them…
They look great. Lucy needs a sylist.
i dont think he is ugly..very boy next door. wow. he and jennifer aniston would make the perfect boy/girl next door couple.
Its cool he got one, but they do give those things to anyone.
Matt’s starting to look old, in the main picture he looks like The Predator.
But Congrat’s
his wife is not pretty, but she seems like a nice girl.
I like Matt
I like Matt. My son’s name is Matt too but, I have to agree w/c Sugar Walls however Matt Damon, is UGLY!

aww yay! i love matt.
I like Matt. He may not be a next door boy type but she is smart choosing roles that makes himthrive as an actor.
But my gosh, can’t his mother wear a better outfit, even a better footwear for her child’s important event???? That’s why Matt doesn’t look so pleased with her on those pictures. He seems like he wanted to get away from her.
I love Matt Congrats he may have been voted Sexiest Man Alive yet but he has his own star on the HW Walk of Fame.
congrats Matt!!! it is well deserved.
You think Matt Damon is UGLY????
You two are the walking endorsement of “the only taste they have is in their mouth”
Love to see what your husbands/boyfriends look like….
Congradulaitons Matt, You are a wonderful actor and a nice person. You deserve it
well deserved! :clap:
looking forward to the movie!!
Can’t wait for the new Bourne movie either, and Congrads again Matt
Yay for Matt. Go Matt,you deserve all the STARS YOU GET! What a smile,luv his suit.He and his wife look happy.
S.T.-FREAK UP,FAMOUS You HATE everyone that is friends with the JPS, too bad so sad.
Fate awaits you. Is that why you are on these boards so much hating every-one, WELL ALMOST EVERY-ONE- WE KNOW YOU LIKE a select few.
Even those few wouldnt like such a hateful person like you.
Looks just like him -

His wife is cute. Anyone know how old he is? He seems like a “normal” guy. Good actor.
I like Matt, Clooney, and the whole cast of Oceans. I like Brad Pitt, I just don’t like YOU or the new Crack-Head-Angelina.
But isnt kind of strange the way you “luv” someone you don’t know?
psycho-stalker much? Lol
Well deserved? Two walk of fames? Raves for The Bourne Ultimatum? A loving family? Reuniting with Ben Affleck? Seems like a good year! Shame Damon lost out to Leonardo Dicaprio for Revolutionary Road.
25 is right famous., need to change your ways or take a break. You hate ‘Angie’ and you don’t know her. You sound ‘Crazy’. I’ve been here 2 yrs and ‘I know your comments!
I digress..
Matt Damon is in store for greater things, ‘Bourne Identity’ adds, are awesome,he kicks butt.
Watch him in any movie he is in, he has always been one of my favorites,no matter what characters he portrays, he is just awesome.
I’m liking his wife so much, he seems so content with his family.
Congratulations to Matt! He deserves it. He’s the best actor around today.
Isnt Matt the golden boy? Sarah, I didn’t know he lost out to DiCaprio for that role Revolutionary Road. Leos a better fit with Kate Winslet –he’s closer in age. He took the role Good Shepard after Leo dropped out for Blood Diamond interestingly enough. I don’t think of them as the same really but they seem always to be up for the same roles…
love matt, glad his wife and mother don’t seem to have tension or drama….great family! they are a gorgeous couple, congrats matt
Matt is a great actor. It is not true that any one can have a star. Yes, the placement is paid for but not usually by the star but this is after the star has been approved by a committee. His wife is quite lovely and he has a beautiful daughter and step-daughter. Looks like he made the right decision in not marrying any of those actresses he was dating.
Congratulations on his star!
Matt turned down Revolutionary Road. He wanted to do it, but he was still filming “Bourne” and Mendes couldnt wait because of the strike.
I love her shoes.
I love you, Matt!! You deserve more recognition than you already have. I can’t wait to watch Bourne Ultimatum! I’m sure it will be a terrific movie. Matt Damon can cement his foot and handprints on my wall and floors and every inch of my house if he wants. hehe
Thanks Jared, all awesome pics!!
Congratulations Matty. A long time coming. You deserve it. You are my kind of people. Down to earth family oriented country boy. And easy on the eye as well. You and Lucy are too cool for the hollywood crowd. Kudows to you and yours. Be ever wonderful. I love you. Stay the course. Best wishes. You are solid and grounded. I can’t say it enough. I love you. I love you. I love you! You and Ben rock.
how do you get the famous star? ne1 here care to xplain y’all?
congrats to matt, he deserves it…right? i dunno, coz i havn’t watched alot of films with him in it. anyways, everyone looks great here. his wife looks really pretty in that dress and hair style.
where is super friend ben affleck??His best buddy gets a star and he´s not there??Huh?this whole reunion is just a PR!I think that they are great friends but they don´t see each other that often and we all know why they went to Hawaii,to talk about a new skript!Ben wants to get back into spotlight and matt is a real actor(good movies,you donßt know much about his private life,his wife is never pimping his kid…)ben needs hid help and matt is there!
Congrats to Matt! He deserves it, great guy and great actor.
Congrats to Matt!!!! What about Angelina? She surely deserves one!!!
¡¡¡Qué guapo está!!!, y además muy elegante, y Luciana también iba divina. Enhorabuena por la estrella en el paseo de la Fama, que es merecidísima porque es un actor de los mejores que hay.
reunion? They have not broken up, they just have not had timed to really hook up.
Lucie B is of course the deal.
I love Matty’s mom she is super cool.
I would not be surprise if the producer of Bourne bought the star. But my man deserves a star anyway.
Why does he get a star now and not years ago?
He’s a good actor for many years.
I don’t get it!
