Matt Damon Grounded by Kids
Posted by Adam
MATT Damon’s children keep him grounded.
The Invictus star — who raises three children, Isabella, three, 18-month-old Gia, and 11-year-old stepdaughter daughter Alexia, with his wife Luciana Bozan — says his family is his main priority and he would rather spend time with his kids than attend showbiz parties.
“It’s pretty easy to kind of lose your way,” said Matt. “I think working consistently with great people is really helpful. Also having kids is really helpful. They kind of disabuse you of the notion of your greatness pretty quickly.
“There’s a routine that you get into with kids that precludes you from going back to your single days. I’m probably more boring than I used to be. I go to bed earlier and I get up earlier.”
The 39-year-old actor hopes his girls will grow up to be like their considerate mother and he also wants them to continue his humanitarian work.
“My wife is a very wise and a very thoughtful person,” said the star, who supports many charities, including ONE, a campaign to fight AIDS and poverty in Third World countries. “Hopefully, they’ll inherit that.
“From me, I hope they’ll inherit a sense of social justice and a desire to continue some of those programs that I’m involved with. Maybe not those exact ones, but hopefully, something to further social justice.”
