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.

That sounds.....gay.
LOL. My father did the same thing. I knew for certain he wasn't 6 feet. When he died I had to go through a bunch of his papers when administering his estate. I came upon his Army draft card which very clearly stated his height at 5'11". Of course, he spent his entire adult life pretending to be more than he was, so it came as no surprise to me.
First he plays a Trump supporting oil worker from Oklahoma. Then he admits to using the ‘F slur for homosexuals’ all his life. His producers must think this will promote his new movie in the Red states.
I don’t think the timing of this revelation is a coincidence. It’s part of the marketing campaign.
Old “f” as in elderly gaseous person is offensive.
Homosexuals use that word like it’s the only one there is to describe themselves.
Just recently? What a guy...is this a premptive strike before some video is going to be released?
When is he going to be canceled?
Sorry, Matt. I’m all out of medals, or else I’d give you one. What kind of jerk uses that kind of language in front of his daughter anyway?
Exactly
So. Brave. So brave.
He won’t be able to bum a cigarette in England now.
What would Jeff Spicoli say?
Yeah, all these red-state people just walk around all day dropping f*g bombs. I’m pretty sure most folks grew out of that after high school.

Let’s not forget fruit!
Just be glad you didn’t feel the need to correct him when he claimed he was ten inches.
Have not heard him express concern about Biden, who daily displays signs of advanced dementia. And if Biden dies or is removed there is the possibiity that "heals-up Harris" would become president.
Preverts will continue to be preverts.
