Invictus star Matt Damon’s wife is fan of the movie’s director Clint Eastwood
Invictus star Matt Damon said his wife is a fan of the movie’s director Clint Eastwood as he came home ‘happy’ everyday from filming.
Damon, 39, plays a real-life South African rugby player in Eastwood’s new movie.
His character helps President Nelson Mandela, played by Morgan Freeman, bring the country together through the 1995 Rugby World Cup following the fall of apartheid.
During a recent Museum of the Moving Image gala in New York honouring the director, Damon said: “I have come to judge good jobs and good directors by how my wife feels about them. And my wife loves Clint Eastwood.”
Damon added that the Oscar-winning director has also allowed him to balance a family life with the sort of work he has always dreamed about.
He said: “Not only because her husband was happy everyday when he came home but because I got to do what I wanted to do and the way I wanted to do it.”
