Matt Damon brought his family to the Seoul premiere of "The Odyssey" on Monday night, posing with his wife Luciana Barroso and two of their daughters. The couple's daughters Gia, 17, and Stella, 15, accompanied Damon to the South Korean event, while their older daughters, Alexia, 27, and Isabella, 20, were not present.
Damon, 55, wore a plum-hued suit with a silver shirt and tie, while Barroso, 50, wore a form-fitting, electric blue gown. The family, known for their low-key lifestyle in Brooklyn, New York, also flashed heart-shaped hands on the red carpet.
Recently, Damon shared his non-negotiable rule for maintaining family connection: nightly dinners. He admitted that the family sometimes struggles to remain present during these meals, realizing that they can fall into routine without appreciating the original purpose. "That’s the kind of family mindfulness we’re all working on," he told People.
Damon and Barroso, who met in 2003 and married in December 2005, are preparing for their younger daughters to eventually leave home. Damon spoke about embracing the transition to becoming empty nesters, emphasizing the importance of presence and trying to be in the moment.
"The Odyssey," directed by Christopher Nolan, has surpassed $450 million at the box office. The film is an adaptation of Homer's epic poem, with Damon portraying Odysseus and Anne Hathaway as his wife Penelope. Nolan has described the project as his most ambitious to date, with a $250 million budget and being the first film shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras. For the film, a female stunt double, Canadian actress Devyn Dalton, was enlisted to emphasize the size difference between Odysseus and the giants in the story.
