Matt Damon's Daughter Only Watches His Bad Movies

Matt Damon’s daughter has a unique preference when it comes to her father’s movies: she only wants to watch the ones he’s not proud of. During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Damon revealed that his youngest daughter, who is ten years old, prefers his less successful films like We Bought a Zoo and The Great Wall over his critically acclaimed works like the Bourne series or Good Will Hunting.

The actor jokingly explained that it’s “like a dagger to the heart” when his daughter asks to watch one of his less successful movies. However, he also sees a silver lining in her choices, as it means she’s connecting more with his characters and their stories than with his Hollywood fame and accolades.

Damon also shared that while his older children appreciate his successful films, they might not always remember watching them together, whereas the movies his youngest daughter likes to watch become special shared experiences.

Matt Damon’s revelation about his daughter’s movie preferences sheds light on the way children perceive their parents’ careers and the importance of shared experiences. It’s a reminder that the value of a movie isn’t always in its critical acclaim or box office success, but in the connection it creates with loved ones.
