Matt Damon brought his family to the South Korean premiere of his film "The Odyssey" in Seoul on Monday night. He was accompanied by his wife, Luciana Barroso, and their daughters Gia, 17, and Stella, 15. The couple also have two older daughters, Alexia, 27, and Isabella, 20, who were not present at the event.

Damon recently shared that maintaining family connection is a priority, with nightly family dinners being a non-negotiable rule. He admitted that the family is working on being more present during these meals, acknowledging that the routine can sometimes overshadow the intention. "That's the kind of family mindfulness we're all working on," he told People magazine last month.
Damon and Barroso met in 2003 and married in December 2005. As their older daughters prepare to leave home, Damon reflected on embracing the changes that come with an emptying nest. He emphasized the importance of presence and being in the moment, as time cannot be slowed down.
"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 on his journey home after the Trojan War. The production reportedly cost $250 million and was shot entirely on IMAX 70mm cameras, making it Nolan's most ambitious project to date. Canadian actress and stunt performer Devyn Dalton was enlisted to emphasize the size difference between Odysseus and giants in the film.
