Matt first spoke about living in lockdown in the Emerald Isle during an interview with Graham O’Toole and Nathan O’Reilly on Ireland’s Spin 103.8’s Fully Charged.
During the interview the star also revealed that his daughter Alexia, 21, had made a full recovery from coronavirus while living in New York City.
Alexia is his wife Luciana’s daughter from a previous relationship however he referred to her as his ‘eldest daughter.’
He said: ‘Our oldest daughter is in college, she’s in NYC. She had Covid really early on, along with her roommates and got through it fine. But everybody’s OK…
Matt jetted back to Los Angeles last week after spending two months in Ireland where he was filming before the lockdowns were enforced in March
‘For Lucy’s mum and my mum, it’s scary for that generation. I think we’ve all got the message now, everyone’s doing the isolation and social distancing and hand-washing and everything we can to mitigate this but it’s frightening, certainly for our parents.’
But Dalkey has the A-list stamp of approval, as Matt also gushed: ‘It’s incredible. This is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. It feels a little like a fairytale here. Bono lives over there, Enya lives over there’.
Before lockdown began in Ireland on March 27, the Oscar winner was snapped posing outside a cafe and in a restaurant with fans, as well as going swimming near Dalkey with his clothes in a bag from Irish grocery store SuperValu.
One fan tweeted: ‘Matt Damon going swimming near #Dalkey with his togs in a SuperValuIRL bag – fitting right in!’
Another wrote: ‘Matt Damon (huge fan) in Dalkey with a Supervalue bag made my day. Just speaks to how human we all are. This virus has no selectivity, does not discriminate and affects us all over the world. I hope Matt is enjoying his stay here.’
