Matt Damon Says He stopped Saying the F-slur After His Daughter Explained Why It's Dangerous

Good for him I guess. Maybe don't admit you have been casually saying it for years though Matt..
She should have told him not to do an interview about this. Thanks for nothing, kid!
While I agree there's still tons of people who use it as a joke, showing he's learned and stopped will hopefully help others to be empathetic and change too.
She doesn't want to see any movies that I'm in that might be good. She just likes to give me shit," said Damon, Yahoo Life previously reported. "My daughter said, 'Hey remember that movie you did, The Wall?' I said, 'It was called The Great Wall.' She goes, 'Dad, there was nothing great about that movie.' She keeps my feet firmly on the ground."
lol, doesn't sound like they think much of anything he does.

Of only she'd left him a post it note on the fridge telling him Downsizing is a mistake.
Listen, I'm usually the first one to give people like him the benefit of the doubt; some words either don't have the same connotations in different parts of the world or you don't realise how negative they are until you're told about them.
With that said... There's absolutely no way he didn't know the full extent of the word, lmao. If he told me that he stopped using it years and years ago then sure, still a bit late, but sure. But months ago? That's kinda fucked up, Matt.

Can't think of many folks more insulated than celebrities.
True, I was just surprised how recent his example was. It is a case of better late than never, though.

the frank 'shut the f*** up more' part is good. quite frankly everybody should do more of that... as long as it's a reminder to actually curb your words and intent, and not just avoid bad publicity.
it might be just to avoid bad publicity but y'know, hopefully his daughter chewed him thoroughly on that front

I clicked thinking it was the four-letter F-Bomb, not the three-letter one. Who still uses that in 2021?!
