Matt Damon says he just recently stopped using the homophobic f-word slur -- this after his own daughter had to put him in check ... with a detailed thesis of sorts on why it's bad.
The actor did a wide-ranging interview with The Sunday Times that was published Sunday, and among the many topics discussed on how the Hollywood landscape is changing (for the worse, Matt seems to think) ... this one was brought up in the same breath.
He says he put the f-word away for good in recent months, explaining he didn't think of it much as a slur when he was growing up, adding ... "The word that my daughter calls the 'f-slur for a homosexual' was commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application."
He goes on to say that he made a joke using the word in front of one of his 3 daughters, -- who range in age between 10 and 15 -- and they actually protested his usage of it.

What an “f-slur.”
Lol!
Thanks for that; I couldn’t work out which f-word he was referring to.
Hope he never goes to England and someone asks for a cigarette...
The founder and lead member of the Film Actors Guild.
I stopped using that word 30 years ago and I'm not even an enlightened woke liberal like you are.
Look at the picture above you. 🙂
So he is still free to use “fairy”, the other f-word slur?
Or “Finocchio”
matt is looking for validation attention again
hey matt, check out onlyfans
Weird “story”.
Smells like he’s trying to get out in front of something.
In England, a fag is a cigarette. What to do? What to do?
I really don’t care what 85-IQ morons, who have a talent for pretending to be other people on camera, while reading words smarter people wrote for them to say.
Some families allow for their children to issue ‘corrections’ to their parents, and some other families are more formal, where the child is far less direct or confrontational. I was raised in the later way.
Once that door is opened, and the child thinks he or she can
‘call out’ so called mistakes of the parent, it stays that way.
Every family decides what is acceptable for them.
My Dad used to say he was “6ft tall”. I knew damn well he wasn’t that tall, but I figured out he needed to feel that as a matter of vanity, so I kept my mouth shut.
It wasn’t a big deal.
Great point.
I use it every now and then when it seems appropriate. Doesn’t seem to bother me.
So, after all these years of lecturing us about our wrongs, he’s been calling people fags the whole time.
Translation: He used it frequently until called out
