He was born into a completely ordinary American family. As a child, his eyes would always light up when his mother told fairy tales or his father read books about history and travel.

At school, he was remembered not as the loudest or most popular boy, but as a quiet dreamer who could spend hours staring out the window, inventing his own stories.

What was then just a modest dream later became the main purpose of his life.

He always avoided loud scandals, preferring family comfort. Marrying an Argentine bartender, he became the father of four daughters and proudly considers fatherhood his main role.

Today, despite the multimillion-dollar earnings of his films, he remains the same humble boy from Cambridge who believes that the most important things in life are loved ones and honest work.

His name is known worldwide — Matt Damon.
