Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Damon arrive at the Ziegfeld Theater for the New York Premiere of The Informant on Tuesday (September 15).

The 38-year-old actor had to put on a few extra pounds and grow out a mustache for his role in the movie. “My wife liked it,” he told Access Hollywood of the mustache. “You know, I liked parading around the house with my belly hanging out. I would do like kind of the sexy walk, but I clearly shouldn’t have been doing that type of thing. We had fun with it. We laughed a lot.”

“I found that actually the first 30 pounds were fun and then I just kind of left it there,” Matt said of the weight he put on. “I wouldn’t do more than 30 though – that would start to hurt.”

Matt Damon attends the premiere of his new movie The Informant! with Burberry-clad wife Luciana at the Sala Grande during the Venice Film Festival on Monday (September 7) in Venice, Italy.

The 38-year-old actor, who suited up in a custom made 3-piece Ferragamo tuxedo and lace-up shoes, packed up an extra 30 pounds for his role as an agricultural company’s vice president-turned-FBI informant.

“It was very, very easy to gain the weight,” Matt told reporters at the festival. “It was very, very fun, probably the funnest time I had working because I didn’t have to go to the gym after work and I just ate everything I could see.”

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana attend the photo call for his new movie, The Informant!, at the Palazzo del Casino during the 66th Venice Film Festival on Monday (September 7) in Venice, Italy.

In the movie, the 38-year-old actor plays agribusiness firm executive Mark Whitacre, who labels himself Agent 0014, “because I’m twice as smart as James Bond.”

Variety has a review of Damon’s performance in the movie: “Damon is in very sharp form in his fifth film with Soderbergh. The thesp makes Mark brazen in his conviction that he’s always right and unremorseful about his fabrications, but never in a superior, hubristic manner; as is slowly revealed, he’s always been able to rationalize any alteration of reality that served his purposes, and even when faced with his own deviousness, he never doubts that, “I’m the good guy in all this.”
