Matt Damon clearly doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight, because all eyes were not on him when he attended the UK premiere of his new movie, The Odyssey, on July 6.
The 55-year-old was upstaged by his stunning wife, Luciana, 49, and all four of their daughters, Alexia, 26, Isabella, 19, Gia, 17, and Stella, 15, at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London.
Matt, who plays Odysseus in Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated blockbuster, looked dapper in a gray three-piece suit with a blue button-up shirt and a striped tie.
However, no one was looking at Matt with Luciana beside him. The couple posed for photos together on the red carpet, and she looked incredible in her Gabriela Hearst Tibor Rope Strapless Column Maxi Dress.
Luciana’s black suede and merino wool dress featured braided rope detailing that wound over one shoulder and a figure-hugging silhouette.
It was game over for Matt, however, when he and Luciana were joined on the red carpet by their four daughters, who all looked phenomenal in floor-length dresses of varying colors.
Alexia wore a black plunging backless dress; Isabelle opted for a burgundy corset-style dress; Stella wore a silky pink number; and Gia stood out in a sheer, animal-print frock with a plunging neckline.
Matt met his Argentinian wife in 2003 in Miami while he was filming Stuck on You and she was working in a bar.

They tied the knot in September 2005, and Matt legally adopted Alexia, whom Luciana welcomed with her ex-husband Arbello Barroso, before going on to have three more daughters.

“I think about it a lot, especially as my kids are getting older: really trying to be here now. And it’s hard for me to do that. And I think maybe that has to do with my own nature,” he said.

The Odyssey, an adaptation of Homer’s epic poem, following King Odysseus on his 10-year journey home to Ithaca after the Trojan War, also stars Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, and Charlize Theron.
