Matt Damon quit using homophobic “f-slurs” months ago after his daughter explained why he shouldn’t

Matt Damon said he recently decided to stop using a homophobic slur after his daughter criticized him for doing so.

The actor, who stars in a new movie Still water, revealed in a new interview that he made a “joke” involving what his daughter calls the “f-insult for a homosexual” barely “months” ago.

Damon, 50, said Sunday Times that his daughter reproached him for using the offensive term and, after having “left the table”, he said to her: “Come on, it’s a joke! i say it in the movie Glued to you! “

Actor Jason Bourne said, “I made a joke months ago and got a treatise from my daughter. She went to her bedroom and wrote a very long and beautiful treatise on the dangerousness of that word. I said, ‘I’m removing the f-slur!’ Understood.”

Damon’s admission came after acknowledging that his quotes are picked up by the media more regularly than they were at the start of his career in the mid-1990s.

“Twenty years ago, the best way I can say is that the reporter listened to the music more than the lyrics. [of an interview], “he said.” Now your lyrics are analyzed, to take them out of context and get the best possible title.

“Before, what I said didn’t really matter, because it didn’t make the headlines. But maybe this change is a good thing. So I shut up even more.

He then shared the anecdote of the homophobic insult.
