Matt Damon moving family to Australia because of Trump
Page six ^ | March 15th 2018 | Emily Smith and Ian Mohr

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.

‘Damon’s publicist, Jennifer Allen, quickly and firmly shot down the Post’s report.

“Matt has visited Australia several times recently,” Allen wrote in an email, “but he has not bought a house there nor is he moving there.”’

“Not to be sarcastic, although it’s okay that it works out that way ;) but WHO is Matt Damon?”

Beats me but I hate his guts.

Australia: a place where giant salt-water crocs get their heads bitten off by sharks.

Have fun, Damon Family!

Crowder did qualify the report/denial with the words,’for now.’ What the future holds, only God knows.

He’ll have to unless he can get Kimmel’s bulbus glandis to relax.

Imagine how deranged he'll be when he buys a house in 2020 and find out he can't move in for another four more years.

Ben Affleck should protest Trump by refusing to play Batman again.
