Matt Damon brought his wife Lucy to Venice, groped her on the red carpet

wenn3493468

I’ve already covered the photos of Dame Goop at the Venice Film Festival, so here is her costar, Matt Damon and his shiny head too. I know he shaved his head for a movie, but I really, really dislike this look on him. He looks so much hotter with hair. But! I like that now that he’s 40, he’s finally “filled out”. Long gone is his boyish, skinny (but built) body – his face has filled out and he seems like he’s carrying around twenty pounds that he’s never going to lose. It looks good on him. Sidenote: can you believe that he’s 40?!?! When did everyone get so old?

Anyway, here’s Matt and Lucy at the premiere of Contagion. Lucy wore Gustavo Cadile, which looks kind of like vintage Badgley Mischka, or current Elie Saab. I don’t love the dress, but I think it’s kind of cool and unusual that Lucy is showing off her tan lines. In the age of fake-bakes and tanning beds, it’s nice to see someone who came by their tan the old-fashioned way. I always like that Lucy looks like a normal person – she’s really pretty, sure, but she looks like a normal mom of four who just happens to be married to a movie star. I also like that Matt is groping his wife a bit – that’s his hand on her ass. Now we know why she keeps getting pregnant.

By the way, Matt told reporters that his wife’s nickname for him is “Red Alert” because of how he fusses over their kids. Matt said: “I’m probably more protective than I’ve ever been now that I have children. My wife [Luciana]‘s nickname for me is ‘Red Alert.’ I sometimes check to see if the kids are breathing. I tend be a little overprotective without trying to be a helicopter parent.” Aw… is it possible that Matt is really and truly this nice and decent? Is it possible that he loves his wife and kids, that he has a great marriage and that he’s truly the exception to the “Hollywood douche-cheater” rule? Fingers crossed.

    They look great to me, refreshing. I like her dress but something should be done in the sides

  2. luls says:

    I cant believe this woman had 4-5 kids! She looks great in that dress! (i just wish her boobs werent hanging out of the sides though!)

  3. yuya says:

    Sorry, not flattering to her at all. If someone dressed her, they need to be canned immediately.

    I think that while she isn’t a bombshell in the literal sense, she has that certain something. And the stylist was not acknowleding it. The side bood thing makes her look dumpy.

    She is a sexy woman who was dressed frumpy.

  4. Kiki says:

    I dislike the saggy side boob!

  5. Anna says:

    looks like Luciana is wearing “style of jolie” earrings

  6. Dhavy says:

    I don’t like how the boobs are not well supported on the sides but the color does look nice against her natural tan.

    It’s nice that he’s all about the wife and kids but I still remember how he dumped Minnie Driver

  7. i.want.shoes says:

    The fit on top is horrid!

  8. poster 1 says:

    I must agree the fit on top is horrid.

    Btw you can get such tan lines while at a tanning place also. You just need to wear a bra or bikini top. 😉

  9. bluhare says:

    So with you on Matt. Good lord, he looks like he’s going to play Uncle Fester!

    I like her dress but I’m not sure that’s boob on the side. She looks like she’s got implants to me, and it’s just white untanned skin there.

  10. Jb says:

    Side-boob is NOT glamourous. I kept thinking it must be part of the dress…

  11. jewelry says:

    not just her earrings – Lucy also appears to be wearing a Jolie designed ring. I’ve seen RDJ’s wife in Jolie jewelry as well.

  12. amanda says:

    @dhavy the minnie driver story has been debunked years ago. She admitted it wasn’t true.

    I think Matt looks great with a bald head. He is was looking gross with his long hair and he finally lost they weight he put on for Contagion and Zoo.

  13. snapnhiss says:

    Paltrow is hopefully standing on something or Damon is severely short. GP is 5’9″, possibly 6′ with heels and Damon’s at shoulder height to her.

  14. mln76 says:

    @amanda I watched that episode of Oprah. I totally think it was true. They probably had a bad fight or something but hadn’t officially broken up. I think he’s grown up alot stayed away from his buddy Ben and has settled down with a low key lady.

  15. Turtle Dove says:

    The hand/bum graze is the best thing about these pictures.

    The Damons seem like an awesome married couple and so much more in tune with one another than the Afflecks. Disagree if you want, but I think that Lucy is 100 times better looking than Jen. Matt comes across as loving his marriage and kids AND they aren’t pimped out for press events. The only time you see his kids is a random pap picture.

  16. atlantapug says:

    HOT!!! Love how they seem so normal.

    I also hate the side boob.

  17. shiba says:

    Cheating doesn’t automatically mean “douche”; depends on how it’s done.

  18. Gabriela says:

    @snapnhiss: Yes, she is. She had really high heels.
    @mln76: Reportedly they’ve split week or so before the show. In December 1999, Damon himself said they broke up three weeks before. And even Driver later admitted it wasn’t true he dumped her on Oprah. But anyway, it’s more then 10 years ago!

  19. Chrissy says:

    Oh … poor thing! That one picture is so unflattering! I think it’s a beautiful dress except for the side boob shot.

  20. Jayna says:

    I love that dress and especially on her with her Brazilian looks and coloring or wherever she’s from, except for the side boob thing. She looks striking to me in it.

  21. Findley says:

    I think the weight is for a part.

    He strikes me as not willing to risk family…so will not stray…

    The Minnie Driver story is not true?

  22. zesty says:

    Maybe I never thought much of him before because Ben Affleck seems like a pompous moron and it was guilt by association…but Damon does come across as a truly nice guy. His wife is a lucky lady. And she’s gorgeous. (Although the fit of that dress is…not good)

  23. Rayne says:

    Can someone just please tell the truth…Matt Damon’s wife is UGLY. And everyone is wondering why the hell he married her.

  24. Amy says:

    I’ve always thought Luciana was really beautiful. She looks gorgeous here, except as everyone as pointed out how the dress is fitted at the top. I think that has a lot to do with the dress’s straps–one is skinny and the other is thicker so it gives the top this lopsided fit. If both had been thicker straps, it probably would have been okay. She is also from Argentina so I’m thinking the tan is natural. Matt looks good too–bald may not be the best look on him but it’s not horrible.

  25. JustJen says:

    Rumor is that she got/keeps him because she accepts/participates in whatever scenario he wants. That and the kids.

    Damon isn’t dumb, much of his appeal lies in being seen as the happily married family man. He saw the sh*tstorm of hatred after the “dumping” of Minnie Driver on Oprah. Which, by the way, may have been overplayed but I believed it at the time. And I saw him differently because of it. Granted, that was 10 years ago so the only thing that lingers, in my opinion, is the lesson Damon learned about public perception and the effect it has on your image and marketability.

    Perhaps Affleck remembers that lesson too….

  26. machiavelli says:

    Did Lucia get a boob job?

  27. taxi says:

    Yes, she had got implants. Earlier pics have shown the 4 kids=saggy baggy belly-grazing boobs she used to have.

    Bad fit on the dress.

  28. the original bellaluna says:

    Now, see I was wondering if Lucia is still nursing the youngest – I don’t remember how old the kid is, though.

  29. Madison says:

    I like Matt’s movies but I’m also aware that like with most celebrities what I see is the image he wants me to see not the real Matt Damon, I think there’s more to him than the public image he puts on display.

  30. Lewis says:

    Hahahahaha is he really go to bald?!

  31. carrie says:

    they look a great couple together and in more you don’t see them every day in gossip blogs

  32. Kelly says:

    She’s really not attractive. And they have that many kids? The world is overpopulated as it is.

  33. Mitch Buchanan Rocks says:

    Excellent post JustJen 🙂

  34. Sigh. says:

    She looks “nice.”

    Considering her height (short) and build (curvy), if the dress was just in a richer, more saturated color combination (for her skintone) and better fitting in general (or at least have on more structured understuffs/lining), it would have been fabulous.

    EDIT: At least you can’t tell what the weather is like looking at Mrs. Damon (is it a little “nippy,” Goopy?)…

  35. Lily says:

    Wow, a few of you are haters. She is an attractive woman and you must have crazy high standards if you don’t think so. I don’t think that is sideboob actually-I think it may be some sort of gauze material for the dress on the sides-like a side panel to keep from gaping. Just not the greatest fit.

  36. Claire78 says:

    Who cares how many kids they have – thats their choice surely. I vote she is very pretty and they seem like a lovely couple

  37. Chris says:

    “Is it possible that he loves his wife and kids, that he has a great marriage and that he’s truly the exception to the “Hollywood douche-cheater” rule? Fingers crossed.”

    Who knows? He seems like a nice enough chap but then again maybe he’s just a good actor.

  38. Ell says:

    Sadly, I always thought Matt was the answer to Lainey’s ‘Cuba’ BV. There are other rumours about his sexuality too.

    Luciana is beautiful, some people need an eye test.

  39. crtb says:

    I never understood what he saw in her. She looks like every other woman you see at the mall. Boring! She was a bartender. She doesn’t come across as having much of a personality. A woman who would put up with his sh1t to stay married to a movie star.

  40. *ajalahtravel* says:

    God bless you @lily. If she isn’t attractive then i don’t know what is. I think the green eyed monster is really at work here because how on earth do you guys explain the utter rubbish of she not being attractive that is being spilled here?

  41. Gossip Gangsta says:

    Isn’t Matt Damon the answer to one of Lainey’s blind items about a married, closeted gay star who has been keeping his male lover(s) a secret from his wife for years now. She also said the star was genuinely a nice guy, has many philanthropic causes, and the wife has NO idea. I believe this has been confirmed as Damon at one of Lainey’s “smut soirees”…so, sorry to burst everyone’s bubble!

  42. kab says:

    she must of had some major plastic surgery done or fantastic air brushing.noway she looked like that before.

  43. Tazina says:

    Bringing up something that may or may not have happened 10 years ago? Weird.

    I don’t think Luciana has had anything done to her face but she may have had a tummy tuck. If she didn’t have one, she looks great for having four kids.

  44. Chris says:

    @35: “There are other rumours about his sexuality too.”

    There’re a rumours about everyone’s sexuality. With most actors either being called gay or cheats. Rumours we have in abundance, evidence not so much.

  45. Jeni says:

    Wow I am sort of freaked out seeing Matt Damon with a shaved head. I guess it looks good – I’ve just never seen him like that.

  46. Grace says:

    Matt is so hot. Love Luciana’s make-up, hair and accessories, but that dress does nothing for her. Actually, it does. It makes her boobs look bad. It also looks like something an old lady would buy to a small-town “boutique” store.

  47. k says:

    poor matt she never lets him out of her sight; not much of a mother ;she never stays home if matts away;bad choice for a dress.but then shes not very educated.

  48. Mo says:

    I also never really found her very attractive. She does seem rather bland in personality as well.

  49. sandy#1 says:

    matt looks good, his wife is attractive, i don’t blame her for not letting him out of her sight, he obviously loves her, and she makes him happy, i guess that’s all that counts, who knows her educational level? does matt seem to care? not really. so….

  50. akamura says:

    I really doubt she’s “showing off her tan lines,” that’s just a poorly chosen dress. Also, she needs new foundation if she’s going to tan, her face is a couple shades lighter than the rest of her.

    I don’t see this woman’s “beauty” either. She has a pretty-ish face and a half way decent bod thanks to plastic surgery, girdles, and custom tailored clothing. Matt really could have done better.

    The public ass-grab is tacky. I don’t know what he’s trying to say with that.

  51. Freya says:

    lol Raine (# 23), I don’t think she’s very goodlooking either, but Matt does, so…

  52. really says:

    Why not grope her back jewels (derrière) … it is at least his wife … more hubbies should do that!

  53. Nick says:

    It’s really bald???

  54. Blithe says:

    I love them together. I hope they stay. And I really like her. She seems normal, and that’s a really good thing in H’wood. But I agree that some men shouldn’t go bald. That said, I still really like him.

  55. HotLatino says:

    She’s a fellow Latina, but I wish Matt would have married a better looking one, seriously with the smoking hot Latinas out there he married that? eeek

  56. Grasshopper says:

    I think she looks great- way better than the goopy. Side boob doesn’t look good but she is there to support him not look perfect. Props for Lucy not being camera shy, she didn’t have to pose he prob wanted her there beside him. He must adore not being married to an actress and having a normal family. And who knows maybe Matt did experiment with guys in the past and because of that it has been gossip ever since?

    Great couple and I respect them for living a low key life versus being heavily papped.

  57. Maritza says:

    Matt Damon is such a great guy, he is down to earth, a good son, a good father and a good husband, what more do you want from a guy?

  58. Jewlz says:

    Good Taste?

  59. Eve says:

    That’s an ill-fitting dress. And I have nothing against tan lines — I love when I have them! — when they can be seen privately (*wink*). But on the red carpet, while wearing a gown? That’s tacky.

  60. dorothy says:

    I think they are an amazing couple and family. He reminds me of Johnny Depp..very family oriented. She looks beautiful.

  61. Ell says:

    @Chris, predictably I had a feeling I would get that response to the rumour remark. Of course there’s rumours about most celebrities. It’s up to the individual which you choose to believe, as Lainey always says gossip is a buffet.

    All gossip mags and websites are founded on rumours. If you’re going get sensitive about the suggestions of rumours then maybe you’re in the
    wrong place.

    Check out Lainey’s Blind CUBA – it might make wonder about Matt.

  62. tracking says:

    I think the public ass grab is tacky too. I’m suspicious of couples who feel the need to put on that kind of display. What are they trying to prove?

  63. anon says:

    Now THAT’S class, groping your wife in public. And those of you who criticize her looks, you have four kids and let’s see how you look.

  64. Jewlz says:

    Four kids AS WELL AS unlimited money for personal chefs, trainers, plastic surgeons etc…I would look amazing!!!!!

  65. fly22 says:

    Deliberately putting your hand on your wife’s a-s in front of 1000 photographers is about as fake as it gets.

    They’re trying to sell something.

  66. Layzo says:

    I also read that blind and it certainly made me wonder about him. Not that it matters to me. I still love him. It would explain though why he married a non-celeb wife. Sort of take away the whole limelight on the situation.

    I am sure he loves his wife though or has great affection for her. I don’t really see butt groping. I see him resting his hand on her lower back and butt. I think after four kids and years of marriage that it’s ok. I mean you don’t see Ben Affleck doing anything remotely like that with his wife.

    She is beautiful. She has that earthy quality to her and she looks like a natural beauty. I do think the dress is ill fitting though.

    My huband is like that, the “red alert”. I am more laid back about things. It’s wonderful to have such hands on and active father. She’s truly lucky to have him.

  67. CooCooCatchoo says:

    Sorry, Luciana’s dress makes her look fat. Is she preggo again?
    With all of her money, there’s no reason she should be completely fit. She can afford nannies to watch her kids while she works out. She can afford a trainer, a chef and a stylist. If I were married to Matt, I’d be looking good 24/7.
    I always though he married down when he picked her. She, on the other hand, hit the jackpot. He’s hot, rich, nice and loves kids. Score!

  68. Gabriela says:

    I think Lucy is beautiful, but we aren’t the ones whose opinions about Lucy matters really, it’s just up to Matt and he loves her. So he’s his hand on her butt, so what? It’s not like they’re strangers to each other or something like that. They’re happy together and aren’t afraid of some little public affection, get with it.

  69. k says:

    matt has said he doesnt want anymore children but l guess he forgot too tell his wife. other pictures on websites of her she looks like she could be . another nanny will have a job.

  70. k says:

  71. Boo says:

    I’ve never liked him–boyish or oldish, I can’t stand him. If she can, good for her, but her implants look really bad.

  72. observer says:

    I can’t believe that people are posting about idiot Lainey’s garbage. Lainey hasn’t the first clue about anything and just makes crap up.

    Matt and Luciana are very cute and sweet together.

  73. lolab says:

    god, some of you are so catty. I don’t really get why she’s suppossed to have some super thin frame. He didn’t marry a child bride, she’s a grown woman who’s had some kids, is a little fuller now but still very pretty. Yes, she’s well off, but it doesn’t necessarily mean she’s free to be a gym rat mom either. Looks more like she’s a more normal type of chick who’s taking care of her kids and isn’t worrying if she’s a size 2 while doing so.

  74. Melissa says:

    This might sound a little mean, but I don’t care. To me, women who insult other women’s looks constantly…it’s because they aren’t too great looking and it makes them feel better about themselves to criticize. Even if someone isn’t Your standard type of beauty, you should at least try to find the good aspects. JMO

  75. kab says:

    she never stays home and looks after the children, nannies do that ,

  76. Heavenbound says:

    @ Melissa

    Well, if that is your logic you should not troll around here. If you have not noticed this site is called celebitchy and everyone gets criticized. Sorry but some are stating the obvious. Luciana is not very attractive and of course beauty is subjective, no need to get upset if someone differs from your opinion.

  77. Kim says:

    This guy is such a douche! Typical celeb turned wanna be politician who feels he is intelligent enough to comment on politics when he isnt. He is the new Sean Penn. He should keep his mouth shut and try to make a decent movie for once in his life.

  78. Melissa says:

    @heavenbound: I can “troll” wherever I like. And I can call it as I see it. It’s negative and reeks of insecurity.

  79. Melissa says:

    And THAT is unattractive.

  80. Snowbunny says:

    I think these two make a great couple, and she is beautiful. They seem happy together and keep their lives private. Kudos to them and best of luck, I hope they stay together. Maybe because they live outside of Hollyweird, they will have a good chance of lasting.

  81. Yvette says:

    What in the world makes people think that Lainey’s ‘Cuba’ Blind item is about Matt Damon? Is Lainey the ‘golden oracle’ who never gets it wrong? Hardly. Lainey was all kinds of wrong about an affair between Michael C. Hall and Julia Stiles being the reason for his divorce. For that matter, it appears that she was totally wrong about the affair.

    I mean really … Is Matt the only actor who is known as a ‘genuinely nice guy with many philanthropic causes?’ More over, he and his wife have only been been married for 5 1/2 years (they wed on December 9, 2005) so the statement ‘closeted gay star who has been keeping his male lover(s) a secret from his wife for years now’ sounds to me like it’s an actor who is either older than Matt or one who has been married longer than Matt.

    I find it funny–and telling–that the ‘closet gay’ rumor about Matt Damon started after he got married. To me, it sounds like sour grapes from gay men who ‘want’ him to be gay, and from women who ‘want’ something to be wrong with him and his seemingly happy life; or from women who wish they ‘were’ his wife.

    About the dress: That is a side panel that would have appeared flesh tone on say Gwyneth Palthrow, but it is in contrast against Lucia’s natural olive complexion. It’s part of the bodice that is squishing her breasts and pushing them up into cleavage. It means the dress was probably a tad small for her figure, but it doesn’t mean she has implants. Not every woman married to an actor has implants, you know, and the Damon’s don’t do the Hollywood party scene so Lucia isn’t under pressure to make herself ‘fit’ into the Hollywood notion of beauty.

    About Matt’s Weight: Matt gained a ton of weight for his role in “The Informant!” (2009). Then he turned the fat into muscle without losing a pound for “Invictus” (2009) Then he lost some of the muscle and some of the weight for “Hereafter” (2010) Kept the muscle and lost more weight for “The Adjustment Bureau” (2011, but filmed in the fall of 2010). He looks nearly the in the trailers for “We Bought a Zoo” (December 2011) as he did in “Hereafter.” And he’ll probably look heavier, or about the size he’s been this past year, for his next three films.

    Two of his recent films don’t count weight-wise: “Green Zone” (2010) was actually filmed in 2007 just after Matt finished “The Bourne Ultimatum,” and “Margaret” (September 30, 2011)–an Indy film also starring Anna Paquin and Mark Ruffalo–that was actually filmed in 2005.

  82. Yvette says:

    I forgot to mention in my previous post that Matt Damon couldn’t possibly be CUBA in Lainey’s blind item because she said that CUBA is a happy father who ‘settled down and reformed’ and Matt hasn’t done anything to ‘reform’ from. That usually means a drug, alcohol, slutty, or an abusive past … none of which Matt has. And he wasn’t a huge party or ‘P’ hound before he got married either.
