As striking as he is upright, the Hollywood hunk Matt Damon captured scores of hearts over a decade ago when he starred in Good Will Hunting.

The academy award winning actor has come a long way since then, starring in the Bourne Series, the Ocean’s trilogy, and The Departed, just to name a few.

Matt has always seemed to be able to balance his career and his family. From winning an Oscar with his childhood friend Ben Affleck for Good Will Hunting to having three beautiful children with his wife Luciana Barroso, Matt has made some remarkable achievements over the years with many flourishing roles in numerous films.

Matt was named Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine in 2007, and we’re swayed that title still holds true today as he turns 42 today!

The Talented Mr. Ripley star remained gracious, down-to-earth and, of course, he makes an incredibly striking A-List leading man. Happy Birthday Matt!!!
