About Me
Hi! I'm Matt Damon! Here's a little about me!I was born Matthew Paige Damon on October 8th, 1970, in the Cambridge area of Boston, Massachusetts. My father, Kent, was an investment banker and tax preparer, while my mother, Nancy Carlsson-Paige (hence the middle name) was Professor of Education at Lesley College, specialising in early education. I have one brother, Kyle, three years my senior and now a sculptor.For the first two years of my life, I lived in the seriously expensive Newton district of Boston. When I was 2, though, my parents divorced and I moved, with Nancy, to nearby Cambridge. This area, where Harvard is situated, was also well-to-do, but not QUITE as rich as Newton. Nancy's plan was for me and Kyle to be well-provided-for, but not shut away from the real world. Thus one neighbor was Howard Zinn, author of A People's History Of The United States, while opposite Chez Matt was a halfway house.I have since become an actor. My first role was playing Steamer in the movie Mystic Pizza. Since then, I have been in many much more popular movies such as the Jason Bourne movies (which incidentally have another installment due in 2007 called the Bourne Ultimatum) and Ocean's 11 and 12. I think that the most fun I have had in a film is Stuck on You where I costarred along with Greg Kinnear. It was a lot of fun.Right now I currently live in California, but have private vacation homes in the Seattle area and in Iowa.
