Matt Damon prides himself on being a man of mystery - both onscreen and offscreen. He keeps quiet about his family life with wife Luciana, daughter Isabella, and step-daughter Alexia. In a new interview with GQ magazine, he talks about his politics, encouraging Ben Afflect to do Gigli, and keeping his personal life private. Here's some highlights:
On his political preference for the 2008 presidential race:
If [Barack] was the face of America, it would mitigate a lot of problems in the world. [Clinton] so f***ing smart, isn’t she? I always liked her. But I’m just not interested in a leader who can’t admit that they even made a mistake in the first place. That’s what we’ve been dealing with for seven years now.
On receiving his first big paycheck after selling the script for Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck:
We both bought Jeep Grand Cherokees. It was funny, because Ben and I, we both always wanted a Jeep Grand Cherokee for some reason. That was the car. We always talked about it but never could afford one. So when we suddenly had the money, we each instantly started trying to convince each other to get a different car. We’d say, ‘Hey, have you seen the Explorer? The Ford Explorer is really cool.’ Because we knew it would just be so gay to get the same car.
On keeping his personal life private makes him a better actor:
The better the actor, the less you know about his life. “I mean, nobody’s better than De Niro, and you don’t know anything about him, right?” Look at Meryl. We don’t know s**t about Meryl. Look at Clint. And Jack. And Brando. Marlon Brando—who f***ing knows, right?
