Matt Damon is 55 years old, has an Oscar, and credits in some of Hollywood’s highest-grossing films. And even so, he has just confessed that in his home there is someone who beats him in popularity. 😅
The American actor was interviewed by Diana Rincón on Telemundo during the lead-up to the Colombia vs. Portugal match at the 2026 World Cup.
When he was asked whether there were Argentina and Messi flags in his home, he blurted out with a laugh the line that is already going around the world: “In my house he is more important than I am”. The reason has a first and last name: Luciana Barroso, his wife since 2003, originally from Salta, Argentina. 🇦🇷
Damon not only inherited the passion for Argentine soccer — he is also a declared Boca Juniors fan since he attended a match in Buenos Aires during Christmas.
In the same interview he clarified that his team is Argentina, although that day he would support Colombia out of deference to his colleague John Leguizamo. Messi: 1. Matt Damon: 0. 🔥
