On Wednesday, Matt Damon made a rare public appearance with his entire family as he was joined by his wife and their four daughters at the premiere for his latest movie, The Instigators.
And this is just one layer to his and Luciana’s seriously wholesome 21-year relationship, with the two first meeting in a Miami bar where she was working way back in 2003.
As mentioned, the two first met in 2003, and at this point, 32-year-old Matt was already a well-established Hollywood star and A-list celebrity.
“He had started getting recognized and asked for pictures and autographs, and then it got kind of aggressive because people are drinking and stuff,” she added. “So he came and hid behind the bar … [wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink. He says, ‘Oh, I saw you and I really wanted to talk to you.’”
And Matt has previously said that he was “lucky” to fall in love with somebody who isn’t famous as it helps to keep media interest in their lives at bay. He told Esquire: “I got lucky. I fell in love with a civilian. Not an actress and not a famous actress at that. Because then the attention doesn’t double — it grows exponentially.”
