The Bourne action man explained he’s rarely in the papers because he’s not jumping on couches like Tom Cruise or ‘cheating’ on his former barmaid wife of 18 years, Luciana.
‘If you can control the celebrity side of celebrity, then it’s worth it. I look at Brad—and I have for years – and when I’m with him I see the intensity of that other side of it,’ explained Damon, who has three daughters and a stepdaughter with his Argentinean missus.
‘I remember telling him that I walk my kids to school, and his face just fell. He was very kind, but he was like, “You b******”. Because he should be able to do that, too. And he can’t.’
The 42-year-old says he can fly under the radar as he’s steered clear of creating headlines with famous women unlike his Ocean’s Eleven co-star.
‘But I don’t really give them anything. If I’m not jumping up and down on a bar, or lighting something on fire, or cheating on my wife, there’s not really any story to tell,’ he told America’s Esquire magazine.
‘They can try to stake me out, but they’re always going to get the same story – middle-aged married guy with four kids. So as long as that narrative doesn’t change too much, there’s no appetite for it.’
Damon says his mother kept his feet on the ground from day one after she banned him from entering showbiz as a child.
He told the magazine: ‘My mother thought it was child abuse. She literally did. She was a professor who specialised in early childhood development, and she thought putting a child onstage or in a commercial or in a movie was child abuse.’
