As I delve into this heartwarming anecdote, it’s evident that Matt Damon is not just an action hero on the silver screen, but a loving father and an adventurous spirit off it. His annual pilgrimage to the Ekka, a festival unfamiliar to Casey Affleck, speaks volumes about his connection with Australia and its unique charm.


On a sunny Saturday, it appeared that American actor Matt Damon maintained a cheerful demeanor as he walked leisurely alongside his wife Luciana and pal Lauren Phillips in the scenic town of Byron Bay, New South Wales.

Actor Matt Damon, aged 53, exuded casual elegance as he donned an open, patterned black shirt over a solid green T-shirt and beige trousers.

The actor from Massachusetts finished off his polished style by wearing white sneakers, sporting fashionable aviator shades, and donning a trendy brown cap.

He completed his laid-back look with a salt-and-pepper five o’clock shadow beard. 

The actor beamed as he chatted to Luciana and Lauren while strolling down the street. 

The Hollywood heavyweight appeared to be in high spirits as he walked arm-in-arm with his vibrant wife, Luciana, 48.

As an over-the-moon fan, I was thrilled to see my beloved couple graced by the presence of their fabulous Australian friends, Nova radio sensation Fiona Phillips and her dashing fiancé, business tycoon Paul O’Brien. Fiona, with her impeccable style, glowed in a vibrant outfit that made heads turn, while Paul, the epitome of charm and success, was by her side. What a delightful addition they were to the occasion!

In the present, Damon (accompanied by Casey Affleck) is in the country, gearing up for the release of their upcoming film The Instigators. As excitement bubbled within him, he stepped into a nearby shop to sample and purchase a pair of sunglasses, clearly relishing every moment.

It was clear the legendary actor was soaking in every moment of his laid-back Aussie escape. 

His outing comes after radio star Phillips made a very surprising admission about her ‘mate’ Matt.

On the Jase and Lauren show on Nova, the 41-year-old radio host openly confessed that she has never watched any of Matt’s movies.

Later on, she disclosed the manner in which Matt persuaded her to view his Academy Award-winning movie from 1997, Good Will Hunting, a production where he acted and collaborated with Ben Affleck on its script.

During an interview with a Hollywood actor, Lauren’s co-host, Jase Hawkins, disclosed that she struggles with enjoying movies.

In Melbourne resides an individual named Phillips; he was acquainted with Damon some years back, through the kind introduction of the Hemsworths.

Apart from being engaged to an influential figure in the aviation industry, Paul O’Brien, he is also acquainted with Chris Hemsworth, popularly known for his roles as Matt and Thor in movies.

Matt is well known for his love of Australia and frequently travels to the region for holidays. 

On Wednesday, he made an appearance on Sunrise, Channel Seven’s morning show, alongside Casey Affleck (aged 48), to publicize their forthcoming film titled The Instigators.

The renowned figure, often found Down Under with his loved ones, shared in an interview his affection for Queensland, particularly highlighting the legendary Brisbane agricultural event known as The Ekka.

Steve Hargrave commented, “It seems like you spend nearly half your time in Australia now, given how often I see you at the Ekka.”

Matt confessed that he has attended the Ekka for several consecutive years. However, he is uncertain if he will be able to attend this year as he needs to return to America.

Matt then explained the festival to Casey Affleck, who was unaware of the annual event.

‘It’s awesome. I gotta bring him [Affleck] to the Ekka,’ Matt said.

Instead, the daring actor mentioned that it’s often him who takes on the thrilling roller coasters, while his loved ones tend to observe them safely from the side.

Matt mentioned that his children enjoy the amusement park since they persuade him to ride on those thrilling attractions, as their mother prefers not to participate.

‘So I draw the short straw. They like watching me get whipped around on those things.’

Every year, Queensland hosts its agricultural fair, famously known as “The Ekka” (short for the Royal Queensland Show), which takes place at the Brisbane Exhibition Grounds.

Matt is the father of daughters Isabella (aged 18), Gia (15), and Stella (13), along with his wife Luciana (48). Additionally, he has a 25-year-old daughter named Alexia from a past relationship.
