However far away from home Matt Damon‘s travels take him, his heart remains with wife Luciana Barroso Damon and their four daughters.
Happily, The Odyssey was scheduled to be a summer blockbuster, meaning the actor—who plays the eponymous hero in Christopher Nolan‘s epic, in theaters July 17—was able to take his whole family on a journey to the movie’s London premiere.
“It’s great because they had to sacrifice a lot, too, for this,” Damon told People at the July 7 event. “I went away for a while, they came and visited, but it was a lot. It was a very long movie, very grueling shoot, and I’m really excited for my girls to see it tonight.”
Better yet, though, was one of his daughters—he didn’t specify whether it was Alexia, 27, Isabella, 20, Gia, 17, or Stella, 15—telling him she was proud after watching the 172-minute film. (Perhaps it was whoever told him there was “nothing great” about his 2017 alien action flick The Great Wall.)
“She’s never said anything like that because we joke around a lot,” Damon noted, “and so at that point, I was like, ‘I’m good. It was all worth it.’
Such is the life of a devoted girl dad, right?
