Matt Damon Admits Being a Dad Defies Description

Matt Damon's daughter Isabella is only 6 months old and she's leaving her dad speachless.

When asked about fatherhood at the press conference for The Good Shepard, Damon said being a dad "defies description, actually. I don't really know how to talk about it, because I don't really know – I feel like I got made a member of a club that I didn't know existed."

Isabella is the first biological child for Damon who shares a step-daughter, Alexia, with wife Luciana.

"I didn't think that this would happen to me," Damon says. "Other people were always showing me baby pictures or trying to hand me the baby, and I was like, 'Get that thing away from me. I don't want to touch your kid. Give me a break.' But I'm totally into it now."

He admits being intimidated by his little girl at first, but is getting "kind of excited for my daughter to be 2. I was excited for her to start kind of talking and walking and toddling around hanging out, but I didn't realize how much personality little people have right off the bat. So it's just been fun."

His favorite activity with Isabella is getting her to laugh. "You do this thing where you can either give her (a raspberry) on the stomach or if you sort of act like you're going to munch her underarm, and she laughs like a little machine gun. And it's like I could do it forever."
