Matt Damon To ‘Save Our Schools’

No one can deny the awesomeness that is Matt Damon.

We fell in love with him in “Good Will Hunting;” he kicked some serious a$$ in the Bourne movies; and he’s made a name for himself as a humanitarian. In fact, he’s been seriously involved with campaigns dealing with improving access to clean water and fighting the spread of AIDS.

Now, he’s taking on the education system.

“Save Our Schools” aims to rid the system of “The worst aspects of No Child Left Behind.”

Matt will be at the “Save Our Schools” march July 30 in Washington, D.C., so be sure to keep an eye out for him!

Matt Damon shaves his head for Elysium

Making an exception on post candids that are not from movie sets, this one is from Matt newly shaved head for Elysium. And it just teases my curiosity about the movie.

Elysium is set to be released on March 2013.

He’s known for his handsome leading man appearance, but Matt Damon unveiled a new look on a stroll through Vancouver yesterday.

The Bourne Identity star, who usually sports a full head of hair, displayed a freshly shaved head as he made a trip to the local post office in the Canadian city during a break from filming Elysium.

The 40-year-old actor looked casual in a khaki green T-shirt and jeans which he paired with simple black and white trainers while showing off his new bald look.

Matt appeared completely relaxed and at ease during his outing, a luxury he claims isn’t afforded to all celebrities.

‘I have friends who are like prisoners. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, for instance,’ he told German television TELE 5 earlier this week.

‘They can’t just go someplace. If they go for a walk, it turns into an international incident.’

However his life has worked out slightly differently, despite his comparable super-stardom.

‘I’m really lucky, because I have the best of both worlds. I do the work that I love and need, but don’t need paramilitary troops to protect me when I walk out my front door.’
And he believes that his focus on things other than work have helped him retain a more private existence.

‘Ever since I found my wife and we had children, my whole life revolves around that. It gave my life a dramatic change in direction,’ he says.

‘I’m not as crazy as most of the other stars. I don’t really know why, probably because I married a woman who isn’t an actress. And we live in New York,’ he said.

‘As long as we don’t show up in typical tourist spots, we can walk the streets without being noticed. New Yorkers are very cool, they don’t flip out if they see me.’

Matt and his wife Luciana married in 2005 and have four daughters.

Matt Damon shuns fame

Matt Damon says his marriage to non-celebrity Luciana Barroso is the key to his ‘quiet life’

Matt Damon considers himself a “lucky devil” compared to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

Matt is happily married to Luciana Bozán Barroso, and the couple raise four kids together; Isabella, five, two-year-old Gia, Stella, nine months, and Alexia, Luciana’s daughter from a previous relationship.

The Hollywood hunk is happy with his work/private life balance, and argues power couples such as Brad and Angelina face a much tougher ride. Matt met Argentine-born Luciana when she was working as a bartender, and cites her non-showbiz status as the reason they have more privacy. He also thinks his decision to shun living in Hollywood lends him greater space.

“Brad and Angie are like prisoners. When they go for a walk it is always a huge international sensation. I am lucky devil. I am doing work I love but I don’t need paramilitary troops who care for me the minute I’m leaving home,” he laughed to German TV station Tele 5.

“I am not as crazy as most of the other celebs. Probably because I married a woman who isn’t an actress. And New Yorkers are really cool they don’t go nuts when they see me. My kids don’t latch on to the whole celeb hustle and bustle.”

As a great advocate of privacy, Matt isn’t keen on social-networking sites where members give out details of their day-to-day life either. The heartthrob is bemused by the way youngsters post such risqué videos on sites such as Facebook, and thinks in the future people will become less inclined to do so.

“We haven’t quite realised what that media could do to us. And that’s why we make mistakes like sending naked pictures of ourselves. The next generation will be more careful and say, ‘Maybe we shouldn’t tape ourselves having sex. That could look strange,’” mused Matt.

Matt Damon talks Adjustment Bureau DVD/BD; Losing The Fighter

A terrific science-fiction thriller, based on a story by famed author Philip K.Dick, “The Adjustment Bureau” hit cinemas earlier this year to reasonably rousing reviews but mostly, praise – again (starting to get old hey, Matt!?) – for it’s star. In this Exclusive interview for the DVD and Blu-ray release of “The Adjustment Bureau”, Damon talks about the why’s and what’s of the project. Damon also shares with us what happened with “The Fighter” and how slightly jealous he is of Christian Bale, and his ‘General Zod’ meeting.

Emily hinted that you believe in love at first sight because of how you met your wife. Is this true?

It is. It’s funny, I’m sure that it was, but I wonder – now that we have four kids and have built this life together – if I’m retroactively imbuing that moment with all of the subsequent experiences. I feel like it was love at first sight, but maybe that’s just my revisionist history.

Do you remember what she was wearing?

I remember her smile. That’s what I remember more than anything.

Do you believe in destiny? Do you believe you have your own life in your hands?

It’s one of those questions that you can’t answer and I think that’s why people have been asking it for millennia. We’re trying to propose it in a fun way in this movie. I feel like I’m in control of everything until I look back at my life and go, “Wait a minute, what odd series of events took place.” There is that Garth Brooks song where he sings “Thank God for unanswered prayers” – every job that I auditioned for that I was desperate to get that I didn’t might have taken me down a different path. It’s that thing where I feel stuff could be predestined, but I sure like to think that my choices were better.

What made you choose this film?

George (Nolfi, Director) is my friend and when he first showed it to me we had worked on one movie together, Ocean’s Twelve. Subsequently while he was doing more and more drafts of The Adjustment Bureau, we did the third Bourne movie and that was a movie that we were writing as we went. It was a lot of pressure and going through that experience with him and spending hundreds of hours in hotel rooms trying to figure out what we were going to shoot the next day, I knew he could handle the pressure of directing. There was so much more pressure in the Bourne situation that I knew this would be kind of a cakewalk.

What about the story?

I thought the story was interesting. I hadn’t really done a love story and I really loved the idea of a modern-day love story, the obstacle to which was this Philip K. Dick creation of this Adjustment Bureau. It seemed tonally to be really unique and not like anything I’d ever seen and ambitious in that way, but also ultimately a really entertaining and a fun movie. Plus, I believe in George.

Do you think that actors are like politicians, that they hide behind an image to sell tickets?

To a certain degree. I really wonder how much you can micromanage an image anymore. I think with technology being what it is, there’s very little mystery left with public people. Celebrities get followed around 24 hours a day and get their pictures taken 24 hours a day. You can open up a magazine and see where they spent their entire week and when they went to Starbucks. There’s very little intrigue.
