Matt Damon got the hotness back and then some

Matt Damon has been looking a little too “middle aged dad” lately. He was perfectly buff when he filmed Adjustment Bureau, but when he promoted it in early March he’d gained some weight and was sporting long fug hair. On the Piers Morgan show in March he was just as attractive as ever, but he looked like a more serious, older version of himself. He was sporting some cute but nerdy glasses on too.

Damon made an appearance at an event honoring him last night. He was one of the people celebrated at the “Made in New York” awards for his “‘significant contributions’ to the city’s entertainment and new media industries.” Damon lives in New York now with his family so that he can spend time with them while he’s filming. He told the audince that he used to come to New York with Ben Affleck to audition and that “our dream was…to actually some day get a movie… that [is] shot in New York.” Damon has fulfilled that dream several times over.

You can see that he’s taken some weight off, which he probably gained as sympathy pounds during his wife’s last pregnancy. He’s also cut his hair short. He looks like Jason Bourne again and like he’s erased ten years.

I’ll take Damon any old way, but this look is the one that won me over 13 years ago in Good Will Hunting, and this is the one I prefer.

Is it blasphemous to say that he should maybe consider dyeing his hair, like his good buddy Ben Affleck?

Here’s how he looked in February:

And in March:
