These are photos of Matt Damon arriving at the airport on Sunday, leaving the gym on Friday and pumping gas on Thursday. Matt Damon may be my go-to fantasy, but he’s an uncontroversial figure (this is by design, and he’ll tell you about it) and so people rarely comment on his posts. If you want more Matt Damon coverage, please honk. Otherwise we’ll cover him on days when something major happens with him or when it’s somewhat slow, like today.
With Damon, the news is always about his incredible career. He isn’t letting the cracks show in his marriage like his buddy Ben there, and he isn’t giving away anything other than the most innocuous details of his personal life. The bombshell, which came out last month, is that Damon is pairing with Bourne Supremacy and Bourne Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass to do another Bourne movie. Damon remained loyal to Greengrass, and it was thought that Greengrass’ issues with the studio (he went over time and budget on the last one) would preclude him, and Damon, from doing another Bourne movie. It’s happening, though, and I might assume that’s why Damon is hitting the gym hard. Production isn’t set to begin until early 2016, though.
Damon is about to begin filming Ridley Scott’s The Martian in Budapest next month. He plays the lead, an astronaut stranded on Mars. The film has an incredible cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara and Sebastian Stan. It’s being done on a small budget and most of the actors are taking a pay cut.
In other Damon news, he and Ben Affleck are executive producing a “futuristic espionage thriller” for the Syfy network through their production company, Pearl Street Films. Deadline has more. Also, a half hour comedy they co-produced starring comedian Tom Papa has been picked up by CBS. It looks like Damon’s move to LA has kept the two of them busy. Considering that we keep getting pap pics of Damon doing his hot dad thing, I’m glad he moved.

I know he’s uncontroversial and all and I love him for hit. However, I want him to shake it up a bit. Like maybe try baby bangs or something.
P.S. the dad glasses and shirt is making my engine purr.
HONK!!!
Hahah
Yes the glasses are doing it for me. He is aging really well. Yummmmm
You’re giving me the Anderson Cooper church giggles with that baby bangs mess.
Damon needs a reverse McConaissance. Like, film Magic Mike XXL but he could stand off to the side and hold the Potato’s tear away pants.
Or he could do a car commercial for Buick. Instead of esoteric musings like Matthew McConaughey, in the dark of night, he could pontificate on a sunny day about child safety seats and savings at Costo.

You create word magic!
I meant Costco, but Costo actually sounds better.
LadySlippers, I’m sending you ceramic cockatoos in gratitude for your kind words.
Sorceress casting spells over poor unsuspecting Lady Slippers.

This past weekend we finally got to watch the Liberace movie, and the fact that Matt could pass for a teenager is amazing. So yes, he is definitely hitable and yes I would go there gladly.
The truth is the less you engage the less the public cares about your life. Take ScarJo – rare pictures of her pregnancy, no photos after, no talking about it. No one cares. Now take Blake. Photos all over, talking all the time – she gets noticed. Take Ben Alfeck and Brad Pitt – talking alot about their wives families and photos all the time of both of them and their families – lots of talk. Matt now he never talks and rare photos so no one cares. My guess is that some actors want to be celebrities and other just want to act. It is pretty obvious who is who.
I totally agree with you. 100 percent!
Matt isn’t married to another celebrity either. His wife doesn’t seem interested in being a celebrity either like Alec Baldwin’s wife.
Blake Lively also doesn’t have the talent and the acting career that Scarlett has either… so she’s got to keep her name out there somehow.
And Brad Pitt gives the public info and pics because he HAS to. People are so interested in the lives of him and Angelina that they let little info slip so that the media and the paps don’t surround their house 24 hours a day.
Matt Damon doesn’t care about being a celebrity, that’s obvious. Not sure about Ben Affleck. I think Ben cares a bit, but I think it’s more Jennifer Garner than him (she doesn’t have much of a career, so the pap pics keep her name out there, too).
With all of that said… if you enjoy being a “celebrity” and like having your pics and private life out there for the world to see, then more power to you. It’s your career… do whatever you want. Matt gets on my nerves b/c he acts like he’s above and better than it all… but he’s STILL an Hollywood actor. He STILL makes big budget films. And he STILL gets papped every now and then. He’s not doing things too far off from other celebrities, so….
I just wish he’d get off his high horse, that’s all.
Exactly.. the public drives the interest. Just like on Gossip sites, when you constantly mention celebrities that have nothing to do with a story about Matt..
The public is not interested in Matt’s children or his wife. There are tons of pictures of Matt and his family online. Google. but they don’t sell and they don’t generate tons of news.
@blueejay..
you sure don’t miss an chance to mention Brad in any post. Why is that?
So true
Keep the Matty stories coming!!! It’s my birthday wish today!
Happy Birthday!!!
Keep the Matty stories coming!!! It’s my birthday wish today!
HONK
Last night I watched the episode of the Graham Norton show with him, Bill Murray, and Hugh Bonneville last night. Twice. Some great Matt Damon moments in there. Even better Bill Murray ones.
“Even better Bill Murray ones.” THIS goes without saying. But saying it is good.
yay HONK
*squeezes Jennifer Lawrence after a taco bender*
HOOOOONK!
Lmao
*steps away from Abbott*
BEEP BEEP!!
Dude, I just realized there was two T’s in your name, Abbotttt. Sorry, I think I’ve been one T’ing you this whole time.
Pfft. I thought you had a sticky key or something all this time. I believe you left out a ‘b’ too, here and there.
I think I did, too. Or maybe I’d switch it up and pull an Abott. Thanks for not telling me SPELLING SHAMER. They never should have given me that GED.
I ‘throughly’ enjoyed shaming you. You talk like you smart and make me feel stupid.
Anybody know how tall he is?
Not super tall, I don’t think. I would guess around 5’8″ to 5’10” max.
He is not tall. I’ve stood next to him. He might be about 5 8
Did he smell good? 😉
He’s 5’10” or 5’11”. But I think it’s 5’10”.
I’m only 5’3″ and he was not towering over me. Can’t remember any scent but very neat and groomed even while in jeans. He is very cute.
Size Does Matter: Love your name! Those poor it’s not the meat, it’s the motion people have it all wrong…..that’s it!
@Gina, preach, sister!
Matty D’s not tall enough for me – more for the rest of you ladies to enjoy while I wait for Jason Momoa to go get gas somewhere.
If he’s not tall enough, he’s not big enough. Yeah, right, Matty Matel just doesn’t do it for me.
HONK
Honk. Cue dreamy Matt Damon make-out fantasies
I like Matt.
I think he is a nice average looking guy. I wouldn’t turn for a second look if I saw him walking down the street. He is cute; but I don’t put him in my HOT box. But he would be fun to hang with and who knows… but not my first choice.
Love him!! MORE PLEASE!
Matt is a wonderful actor and looks like a nice guy, but sexy? Nope! Not to me anyway…
Well, you are Mrs Brad Pitt, so… 😉
true…who is sexier than my hubby?
Matt Damon looks like Ben Affleck/Jennifer Garner’s son so much
Are you implying that Jennifer went Good Will Hunting across the back yard to Matt’s house?
Well this most recent season of a PBS show called “Finding Your Roots”, they did a episode on Ben Affleck and he found out that he is 10th cousins with Matt Damon so maybe that’s why the kid bears a strong resemblance to Damon.
HONK.
He is a-dor-a-ble. The glasses are the cherry on top!
I can’t wait for a new Bourne movie, he was fantastic in those.
More Matt Damon Please!!! LOVE him!!!
Laying on the horn here. Blaaaaarrrrppp!
Love the Matt Damon stories, but you’re right that there’s not always anything to say about them. Keep them coning! HONK!
Honk!
I’m thoroughly on the Matt bandwagon.
He’s a superb actor.
He’s smart as h@ll which makes reading his interviews fun and enlightening.
He’s a solid family man with no obvious drama, manufactured or otherwise.
He’s hawt. Sorry, I have a thang for geeky men (which includes Benedict Cumberbatch!).
So I’ll honk like a Canadian Goose! 😉
I like him a lot, but find him a tad corn fed in the face on these pics. Minus 20 pounds would be fine with me.
HONK big-time. LOVE Matt!!
WOW, he is aging well. I wasn’t much digging his looks when he was younger, but now?
Sign. Me. Up.
He reminds me of a vanilla milkshake, any brand of light cigarettes, coffee with a lot of sugar, beige corduroy pants and penny loafers. That’s where I’m going with him….maybe there’s a tiger hiding inside his tank, but he comes across as very ordinary and boring to me.
He looks so good here. Honk.
Love him to pieces. Love how he’s managed to manage his career. Very diverse. So yeah, more Matt stories even its just him pumping his own gas.
I just read that book, The Martian, and LOVED it. I had no idea the movie was happening or that Matt Damon was going to play the main character! I’ll just be over here squeeing
He’s gorgeous. Not quite Jesse L. Martin gorgeous but maybe 2nd/3rd on my Hollywood hot guy list.
Love him! More please!
He is not hot, and he never was hot. He looks like your average vanilla white dude. Nothing flavorful to see here.
So a few things.
First, please, more Matt Damon, and thank you!
Second, my husband needed new glasses, and I took in a pic of Matt’s press call pics from the Liberace movie (the ones from Cannes I think? Gray sweater) to show the optician. Didn’t realize they were called “hot dad” glasses! lol
Third, I entered a contest with Omaze to try and win a night out with Matt (and Ben). It was to raise money for their charities, Matt’s being Water.org (I think? I know his charity is getting access to clean water to those with no access). I would have asked if Ben could go with a different winner, and then just me and my husband would just go out to dinner and hang out with Matt and his wife. I really thought I had a chance to win too, the night out was my birthday. It wasn’t meant to be, and I feel good for donating, but dang, whoever won is one lucky person…
HONK, for sure! Damon has always been way hotter than Affleck. Give us all the Damon you can rustle up!
Hotter than Affleck!???? What are you smoking? He looks just like an accountant. Accountants, bless them, are the opposite of hot. By the way, he is in Intersteller. I know because a movie critic I follow on twitter said he had no idea why, why, why (his words) Damon would do something so similar ( the Martian) after his role in Intersteller. I have no idea what role it is he is playing in Intersteller, but I really want to see that one. Anyone heard anything on it?
Bleah. Still no likeee. Condescending and smug. Y’all enjoy! LOL
Love Matt. He gets more impressive with each year of work he does.
Watching him in The Talented Mr.Ripley, then Bourne Identity, the Life with Liberace is mesmorizing. He’s a great actor and should get more acting acollades IMO. This guy commts to roles.
Love him.
He’s also quite goodlooking in a rough around the edges sort of way. Love Matt.
HONK! HONK! HONK! HONK!
