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.”

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.

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 merecidÃsima 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!
