Biography
Matthew Paige Damon was born in Massachusetts on October 8th 1970. He made his screen debut with a small role in Mystic Pizza (1988) opposite Julia Roberts. He followed that with appearances in movies such as School Ties, Geronimo: An American Legend and Courage Under Fire.

His Sexiest Moments
1. Outsmarting the smart guy who's just made a fool out of his buddy (Ben Afflleck again) in the bar scene from the movie Good Will Hunting (1997).

2. Making his mark as a new kind of action hero, one with brains, in the movie The Bourne Identity (2002). Matt has never looked so good.

3. Fighting for the women he loves, Penelope Cruz, in the movie All the Pretty Horses (2000).

Three Things You Never Knew
1. He was offered the lead role in the western The Quick and the Dead (1995) but chose to decline. The producers of the movie then turned to Leonardo DiCaprio and he said yes.

2. Matt's uncle, George Brunstad, is a bit of a celebrity himself. In 2004, at the age of of 70, he became the oldest man to swim the English Channel.

3. He made a cameo appearance as a waiter in the film The Sum of All Fears (2002) starring his good friend Ben Affleck. However, the scene was cut from the final version of the movie.

Looks
Matt’s not as pretty as Brad or George but you certainly wouldn’t kick him out of bed in the morning. His boyish good looks have attracted many female admirers. It's fair to say that he's unlikely to struggle to find a date, wherever he happiness to be in the world.

Body
Matt never really had a great body until he trained for the action movie The Bourne Identity (2002). An action hero needs to have abs, pecs and biceps and Matt didn't disappoint. We only wish he'd take his clothes off more often.

Lifestyle
Matt is one of the nicest men in Hollywood. He doesn't abuse his celebrity status and pretty much keeps himself to himself. However, he's not always been that way. In his younger days he wasn't quite as likeable. The obvious example of this being when he announced on The Oprah Winfrey Show that he and Minnie Driver had broke up, before telling her in person.

Career
From Oscar winning writer for Good Will Hunting (which he penned with good friend Ben Affleck), to action hero movie star in The Bourne Identity and its successful sequel. Matt’s come a long way in a few years and his best days are probably still to come.
