Washington, Oct 5 : Matt Damon decided to cut back the number of movies he was planning on making after wife Luciana Barroso threatened to walk out on him.The couple married in 2005 and have a 16-month-old daughter Isabella. They are also parents to Barroso’s daughter Alexia.

However, Damon’s hectic work schedule meant that he was hardly spending any time at home, and he admits that his wife had finally had enough.

“(Luciana asked me) to take a break from work. She saw a pile of scripts, and when I told her they were the movies I was supposed to shoot in the fall, she asked me if I still wanted to be her husband,” Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

Damon recently signed up to star alongside Sean Penn in a biopic on gay 1970s San Francisco politician Harvey Milk.

Penn will be playing Milk while Damon plays his assassin Dan White in the Gus Van Sant directed pic. (With inputs from ANI)
