Matt Damon is moving his family to Australia — in part because the liberal star’s fed up with President Trump.
Damon, 47, reportedly has purchased a property in Byron Bay, New South Wales, according to Sydney’s Sunday Telegraph. The home’s next door to a place owned by Chris Hemsworth — with whom Damon recently appeared in “Thor: Ragnarok.”
A source exclusively tells Page Six: “Matt’s telling friends and colleagues in Hollywood that he’s moving the family to Australia” because the activist actor disagrees with Trump’s policies. The president’s frequently butted heads with liberal Hollywood A-listers including Meryl Streep. The source added, “Matt’s saying the move will not impact his work — as he will travel to wherever his projects are shooting. He’s also telling friends he wants to have a safe place to raise his kids.” Damon has four children with wife Luciana Barroso.
Perhaps Damon’s also allowing some of the controversy to die down after he had to publicly apologize for insensitive comments he made about the wave of sexual assault allegations shaking Hollywood. He said on an ABC movie show that the #MeToo allegations should be judged on a “spectrum of behavior.” But he then told NBC’s “Today” of the remark, “I really wish I’d listened a lot more before I weighed in on this. Ultimately, what it is for me is that I don’t want to further anybody’s pain with anything that I do or say. And so for that I’m really sorry.” Damon and best bud Ben Affleck‘s production company this week said it would adopt “inclusion riders” in stars’ contracts, after Frances McDormand spurred the trend from the stage at the Oscars.

I love it, every day Trump does something good for the country.
Meaningless gesture, unless he formally revokes US citizenship.
Is he taking his boyfriend too?
Let’s hope he’s a role model for all leftists.
So is he just taking a boat there, or did he have to apply and go through some kind of extensive process? And why not mexico, or affica?
Didn’t see that. Damn.
Not to be sarcastic, although it’s okay that it works out that way ;) but WHO is Matt Damon?
Or maybe to escape prosecution?
One small step for a man, a giant step for mankind....
Could we but turn this trickle into a torrent.
Australia is ALREADY “gun-free”, let’s see how that works for you, Matt. None of this weird “Second Amendment” stuff in Australia.
Australia used to be pretty selective about whom they allowed in.
Who is Matt Damon?
Good, I wish all the Marxists would leave.
Then we could eject the illegal alien citizens of other countries who broke into ours.
Do us a favor, Matty Boy- don’t come back!
I hope he takes a few liberals with him.
STILL WINNING ! !
It just occurred to me today- he upset the MeToo qeirdos and I wonder if this is his ploy to get the left to let that go.
What makes him think they want his sorry ass in their country?
