Matt Damon Archives

Matt Damon takes a break from filming and sports a Springbok tracksuit for his new movie Human Factor in Cape Town, South Africa. The movie, expected to hit theaters in December, looks at Nelson Mandela’s attempts to unify South Africa after apartheid, focusing on the Springboks’ 1995 Rugby World Cup triumph. The film also stars Morgan Freeman as Mandela, and is being directed by Clint Eastwood.

Earlier this week, the Bourne Identity star donned a helmet and hopped on a bicycle to take part in the annual Cape Argus Cycle Tour. Damon, 38, cycled along side his brother Kyle and Springbok hero Francois Pienaar during the March 8,2009 race. Proceeds of the race were donated to the Make a Difference (MAD) charity.

Emma Roberts stopped by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last week and shared a picture of herself posing with Matt Damon. Why was she wearing a green wig?

The 15-year-old actress shared, “I love Matt Damon. I’ve always loved him. When I was really young, I saw him at the gas station and I rolled down the window [of my car] and I waved to him and told him something along the lives of ‘I love you’. I don’t really know. A couple days later, I saw him at my aunt Julia [Roberts]’s birthday party and I was like, ‘Hey, I saw you at the gas station the other day.’ And he was like ‘Uh, what are you doing here?’ But I was a little kid, so it was excusable.”

Emma continued, “I don’t know why I was wearing a green wig, honestly. I can’t tell you. My mom found it [the picture] last night. I asked her, ‘Why did I go to her birthday party with a green wig?’. I don’t know, I think I was just a very odd child.”

Matt Damon step out in hand-made Ferragamo Tramezza shoes while supporting the San Francisco launch of the ONEXONE children’s charity on Thursday held at The Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco, Calf.

The 38-year-old actor vows he’ll teach his kids about the less fortunate. Matt told People: “It’s a hard thing to explain to a kid. And it is also unbelievable the way other kids are forced to live… The way you have to parent them is to show them the world… You can read about devastation every morning – it’s on the front page of the newspaper – but when you actually go there and see it, you realize this isn’t something you can turn the page on.”

Other pictures include Matt and wife Luciana catching a departing flight out of LAX airport with their two daughters, Isabella, 2, and Gia, 2 months. Poor Isabella doesn’t look happy to be going through security!

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana arrive at their friend’s beachfront wedding on Sunday morning at the luxurious Gasparilla Island, Florida.

The Bourne actor, who turned 38 earlier this month, was all smiles and dressed to the nines for the special occasion.

His buddy, Marquis Jet founder Jesse Itzler, tied the knot with Sara Blakely, the creator of the slimming underwear phenomenon Spanx.

Damon paired his tuxedo with a pair flip-flops for the wedding, which was attended by over 300 guests.

After completing the Miami Triathalon on Sunday, Matt Damon has a celebratory dinner with family at a restaurant in Miami, Florida.

Accompanying the 38-year-old Bourne actor was wife Luciana and their two daughters, Isabella, 2, and newborn Gia, 7 weeks.

“‘My brother talked me into [running the marathon],” Matt told the Miami Herald.

Matt, who finished his 6.2-mile leg in 59 minutes and 54 seconds, ran in a team that included his stepfather Jay Jones and family friend Barry Hetherington.

Matt Damon just spoke out on Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin to The Associated Press. The 37-year-old actor compares her possibility of being President to a ‘really bad Disney movie’. Ouch!

Damon shared, “I think there’s a really good chance Sarah Palin could become president, and I think that’s a really scary thing… I don’t know anything about her and in eight weeks, I don’t think I’m going to know anything about her. I know that she was a mayor of a really, really small town and she’s the governor for Alaska for less than two years. I just don’t understand. I think the pick was made for political purposes… Do the actuary tables and there’s a one out of three chance, if not more, that [John] McCain doesn’t survive his first term and it’ll be President Palin… It’s like a really bad Disney movie. The hockey mom, you know, ‘oh, I’m just a hockey mom’… and she’s facing down Vladimir Putin (of Russia)… It’s totally absurd… it’s a really terrifying possibility.”

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, welcomed their third little girl, Gia Zavala, at Memorial Regional Hospital in South Florida on Wednesday, his rep confirms to JustJared.com.

“Everyone’s doing great,” Matt’s rep, Jennifer Allen, tells Just Jared. “She is a healthy baby girl.”

Gia joins big sisters Alexia, 10, and Isabella, 2.

Last month, Matt revealed that another daughter was on the way, lamenting, “I’m so outnumbered here, it’s crazy!”

Congratulations to the Damon family!!!!!

Matt Damon gave USA Today a phone interview from his Miami home. Here’s what the 37-year-old actor had to say:

On his weight-loss strategy (he packed on 30 pounds for Steven Soderberg’s 2009 drama The Informant): “I’m just boxing. I figure if you get hit enough times, it will fall off. If you put it on, it’s easier to get it back off.”

On being People magazine’s former Sexiest Man Alive: “Now I’m the Sexiest Man Alive’s chunky cousin.”

Other than doing reshoots for the Paul Greengrass drama The Green Zone: “[I'm] taking the rest of the year off, and I’m just hanging out with my family.”

On not picking out a name for her daughter yet: “We decided to wait till she’s born, and then we’re going to get a look at her and we’ll probably keep debating it.”

On his girl-powered household (wife Luciana, daughter Isabella, 2, and stepdaughter, Alexia, 9): “I’m so outnumbered down here, it’s crazy.”
