The actor has been photographed in Dublin suburb Dalkey over the last couple months, prompting local radio show Fully Charged to go on a mission to get him on their program. This week, he finally came through, opening up about his family's life while quarantining nearby. Saying he arrived in the area before the pandemic, Damon explained he was initially there for production on his Ridley Scott film"The Last Duel." While production shut down in early-March, they stayed.
"It's incredible, this is one of the most beautiful places we've ever been," he explained."What's going on in the world is horrible ... I'm with my whole family, I got my kids, we have teachers with us because we were planning on missing school for 8 weeks. We've got what no one else has, which is actual live human beings teaching our kids.
"Our oldest daughter's in college. That's been shut down, but she's in New York City and she had COVID really early on, along with her roommates and got through it fine," said Damon."But everybody's okay. For Lucy's mom and my mom, it's scary for their generation. It's frightening, certainly, for our parents."
