Matt Damon’s Daughters Make Rare Appearance at Dad’s Premiere (and They Look So Grown Up)
Matt Damon turned the Air premiere into a family affair when he showed up to the event with his number one fans right by his side.
The 52-year-old actor and director walked onto the red carpet with his wife Luciana Barroso (46) and his three daughters: Isabella Damon (16), Gia Zavala Damon (14) and Stella Damon (12). The teenage girls made a special appearance at the event to support the debut of their dad’s new movie, which took place at the Regency Village Theatre on Monday, March 27, in Los Angeles.

The family of five posed for a few photographs together, where they can be seen wearing similar neutral-toned ensembles. The Air star matched with his family members by sporting an all-black suit. After looking at a number of red-carpet pics taken at the premiere, we couldn’t help but notice how much his daughters have grown.
According to E! News, the Good Will Hunting alum’s stepdaughter Alexia Barroso didn’t attend the screening because she is currently filming a movie overseas. (FYI, Luciana shares her daughter Alexia with her former partner, Arbello Barroso.)

In an exclusive interview with E! News, Matt shared how much he enjoyed working with his childhood friend, Ben Affleck, once again on the new movie.
“To be directed by Ben for the first time—not really the first time, he’s been directing me for 40 years—but officially for the first time, and to have it be the first movie for our company, was really, really exciting,” the actor said. “And we just got this awesome group of actors, and it was the best summer job I’ve ever had.”

Directed by Affleck and written by Alex Convery, Air tells the origin story of the infamous Air Jordan sneaker. In addition, it shows how employees at Nike struck a deal with Jordan (who was only a rookie at the time) to become the face of the shoe line. Alongside Affleck and Damon, the movie features a talented ensemble cast that includes Viola Davis, Chris Tucker, Jason Bateman and Marlon Wayans.
Here’s to more red-carpet moments with Matt and his family.
