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.

Has Matt Damon ever hear of the aboriginals?
Contrary to what Mr. Damon thinks, there’s plenty of racism alive Down Under.
...Happy trails to you....until we meet again.....
Hope he takes a bunch of Muslims and BLM thugs with him.
Not so much. He's just buying another house down there.
He'll be "living" there like Clooney is "living" in Italy or Nick Cage was "living" in Germany before he lost his money and his castle.
Maybe he's just moving his family down there so he can have fun here.
P.S. People asking "Why doesn't he move to __________": His wife is from Argentina.
Why doesn't he move there?
Wait until New Zealanders find out about Matt’s political views up close & personal.
Two words . . . Haul A$$!!!!
This family certainly doesn't give a Rats Ass what he does.
Apparently his assistant is telling the media he is not even buying a house in Oz, the story may be 110% #FakeNews.
Too bad....
More good news! Love it!!
MAGA!!!!
Interesting that he chose a predominantly white country with much stricter immigration laws than what we have in of the U.S. Will he protest the Australian government's merit-based immigration policy?
Why not move to mexico or somewhere in africa, matt?
