In an interview with PEOPLE, Damon remarked on the importance of having his daughters present at the premiere, acknowledging the sacrifices they made during the lengthy shooting process. “It’s great because they had to sacrifice a lot too for this,” he explained. “I went away for a while, and they came and visited, but it was a lot. It was a very long movie, very grueling shoot, and I’m really excited for my girls to see it tonight.”
Reflecting on the day, Damon admitted he found himself overcome with emotion witnessing how much his daughters have matured. “They’re all having fun while I’m working, but I’m so happy they’re here,” he told Entertainment Tonight, revealing a sentimental side as he described a moment of tearful pride at the sight of his children together at such a pivotal event in his career.
Watching his daughters grow up has undoubtedly been a significant journey for the star, and he articulated both the joy and overwhelming nature of their advancement in life. “It’s wonderful, but it’s a lot,” he said, capturing the bittersweet essence of seeing his children transition into adulthood.

In addition to the premiere, Damon shared insights into the family’s passion for travel. With an extensive career that takes him around the globe, he noted how his children enjoy joining him on various adventures. “We are seasoned travellers in our family,” he explained. “Just because I work all over the world, my kids love to travel.” It’s clear that the Damon family treasures these experiences together, exploring new cultures and later reconvening to share cherished memories.
As the promotional activities ramp up ahead of “The Odyssey,” the actor revealed that he would be busy travelling once again. The film, which is an adaptation of Homer’s epic poem, has already generated considerable excitement, and Damon is set to attend premieres in several cities, including Mumbai, Beijing, and Seoul.
“I’ll bring my family for a lot of it, so they can see some of these places,” he said, clearly eager to incorporate his loved ones into the whirlwind of promotional events lined up. With limited downtime between engagements, Damon shared a laugh, acknowledging that “My decompression already happened.”
