Matt Damon tries to “listen and be helpful,” he says about his role as a father. “Self-esteem” should be strengthened.
With five wives, Hollywood star Matt Damon (53) is the cock of the walk at home. Isabella (18), Gia (15) and Stella (13) are from his 2005 marriage to Argentinian-born Luciana “Lucy” Barroso (48). He is also the stepfather of Alexia (25), who brought his wife into the relationship.
Damon doesn’t exchange parenting tips with celebrity friends such as his “The Instigators” colleague Casey Affleck (49). Affleck has a 20-year-old and a 16-year-old son. “I don’t think we exchange a lot of fatherly advice. I mean, we do talk about it, but more in the sense that we marvel at how quickly time flies.” “Suddenly your child is going to college, and at a rapid pace,” he joked.
Matt Damon: “It’s about building self-esteem”
and also spoke to presenter Andy Cohen (56) about his role as a father. The actor did not give any specific tips for fathers of girls, but explained: “I wouldn’t stoop to giving anyone advice, other than just trying to listen and be helpful,” Damon answered Cohen’s question. “Ultimately, it’s about building self-esteem.” Because: “You won’t be there for 99 percent of the decisions that children make,” said Damon.
The film star judges that this approach has already worked with the eldest of the four daughters, among other things, by the relationship that Alexia has. “Our 25-year-old has this amazing boyfriend that Lucy and I just love,” Damon said of his daughter. “We adore the guy and to see her make these kinds of decisions is really the best,” he explained to Cohen.
