Matt Damon marked a "new phase of life" as he attended the New York City premiere of his latest film, "The Odyssey," on Tuesday night alongside his wife, Luciana Barroso-Damon, and their 20-year-old daughter, Isabella.
Damon, 55, spoke with People about being mindful of cherishing moments with his daughters as they get older. "Having two older kids who are out of the nest and knowing how fast these final years go, we're trying to be mindful of holding onto what we can," he told the outlet.
The family, who have been married for 21 years, are parents to Isabella, 20; Gia, 17; and Stella, 15. Damon also legally adopted Barroso-Damon's daughter Alexia, 27, from a previous marriage shortly after their 2005 wedding.
Alexia has begun a career in cinematography, with Damon recently sharing that she has already worked on 12 films before the age of 30. Isabella is currently studying at New York University. This leaves Damon and Barroso-Damon with two daughters still at home.
Damon plays the lead role of Odysseus in "The Odyssey," directed by Christopher Nolan. He stars opposite Anne Hathaway as Penelope. The film, an adaptation of the Greek epic, also features Tom Holland as Telemachus, Zendaya as Athena, Robert Pattinson as Antinous, and Charlize Theron as Calypso. The movie is set for theatrical release on July 17.
The premiere saw Damon, dressed in a blue suit and polka dot tie, holding hands with Isabella, who wore a black slip dress. Barroso-Damon complemented the look in a white backless gown.
Last week, all four daughters joined Damon and his wife for the London premiere of "The Odyssey," where the family posed for a rare group photo. Damon also shared details about his daughters' potential career paths, noting Isabella's talent as a writer and suggesting Gia and Stella might also pursue careers in the arts.
"The Odyssey" has garnered critical acclaim, with some reviewers calling it Nolan's "crowning cinematic achievement." However, the film has also faced online backlash regarding its casting choices, with some critics questioning the inclusion of Black actors in a Greek mythology adaptation. Trans actor Elliot Page's casting has also drawn controversy, though it was later confirmed he would play Odysseus's cousin Sinon, not Achilles.
