Damon was in Ireland shooting scenes for an upcoming movie´, The Last Duel, directed by Ridley Scott, when the country went into lockdown in mid-March. Instead of catching a flight back to the US, Damon chose to settle into the Dalkey community – where he and his family are reportedly renting the Formula 1 driver Eddie Irvine’s former bachelor pad – and wait out the pandemic on Irish soil.
The actor’s stay in Dublin, and subsequent photo which showed Damon wearing a baseball hat and holding a SuperValu bag, prompted an article by the New Times about the local reaction to the A-lister’s presence in the affluent Dublin seaside suburb. Much to the joy of Dublin station Spin 1038, Damon appeared on the Fully Charged weekday show earlier this month and spoke about living in Ireland during the pandemic.
More recently he surprised local schoolgirls by sharing a video of himself congratulating the graduation class of the secondary school, Loreto Abbey Dalkey. “You guys are awesome,” he told the girls, adding that he was “sorry” they had to study and graduate “from quarantine”. “Congratulations – what an achievement. Good for you guys. I’m thinking about you.”

I met him in Ireland before and he was a really nice guy.
I know it is a fluff piece but this and lambs, stories about puppies, kittens in baskets ... god we need something light in all this dark grimness and at least he was a brief humorous distraction.
This is news?
Hold the front page! 🙄
Sure he was hounded out of the place

Nooo!!! I was going to ask him to pick up a box of Barry's Gold Label and a couple of Mars Bar multi-packs to smuggle back over to the U.S.
