Here are some new photos of Matt Damon out and about with his daughter Stella in LA. I’ve noticed something very strange lately – the paparazzi are getting more and more candid photos of Matty D since he moved back to LA, buying a house just down the street from Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner. CB and I were just theorizing if the same group of paparazzi who grab daily photos of Garner and her kids are the same paps getting photos of Matt and his girls. Probably, right?
What’s interesting about this situation is that Matty D has spent the past few years bragging (rather smugly!) about how lucky he was to “fall in love with a civilian” and how the paps don’t care about him as much as they care about Garner-Affleck and Brangelina. In Matty’s Esquire interview, he discussed the paparazzi at length, claiming that he’s always been able to walk his kids to school with no pap drama. Matty bragged: “But I don’t really give them anything… there’s not really any story to tell. They can try to stake me out, but they’re always going to get the same story—middle-aged married guy with four kids. So as long as that narrative doesn’t change too much, there’s no appetite for it.” Well, the paparazzi are getting interested in that. Because it’s always good business for the paps to get photos of a movie star with his kids. The industry has changed.
Also, in a weird turn of events, Matty D’s new movie (and potential Oscar-contender) has been pushed back. I’m telling you, this is a really weird, jam-packed awards season. According to Deadline, George Clooney’s The Monuments Men has been “pushed to an unspecified date in early 2014. We’ve learned that the pic was delayed because visual effects could not be completed in time for the Sony film’s scheduled December 18 release date.” Yeah right. It’s much more likely that Clooney realized how crowded the awards season field is this year and decided to wait to release The Monuments Men until next year so it would be more of an awards contender.
