Matt Damon: Ive escaped Bieber fever

17th December 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Matt Damon says his household has mercifully avoided Bieber fever.

Matt is happily married to Luciana Bozn Barroso, and the couple have three daughters together; Isabella, four, two-year-old Gia and Stella, who was born in October. Luciana also has a daughter from a previous relationship called Alexia, so Matt lives in a female-dominated household.

Matt is relieved the women in his life havent fallen for the charms of teen singer Justin Bieber yet; the 16-year-old has been causing a stir across the globe with a phenomenon nicknamed Bieber Fever.

Weve mercifully avoided Bieber fever, he laughed.

Matt portrays LaBoeuf in the Coen brothers' movie True Grit, about a tough US Marshal who assists a young lady in hunting down the murderer of her father. He joked that actor Shia LaBeouf is no relation to his character in the film whose name is actually pronounced Le Beef.

Not unless hes changing his name to Le Beef, laughed Matt.

On the subject of Shia, Matt was quick to sing the actors praises. At the turn of the decade Shia featured heavily in the show Project Greenlight, which was produced by Ben Affleck and Matt among others. Matt says he immediately saw potential in Shia and is thrilled he has gone on to do so well.

I wish I could take responsibility for his career. Hes a terrific actor and we thought that when we saw him on Project Greenlight, he told MTV. (C) Cover Media
