Matt Damon says his family is lucky, all things considered, about what they faced amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

star's 12-year-old daughter, Gia, tested positive for the virus over the summer — though Damon, who is father to four kids with wife Luciana, told"I mean, we've been about as lucky as you can be throughout this pandemic," Damon explained.

The actor had a few eye-opening moments during lockdown. At the start of the pandemic, Damon and his family hunkered down in Ireland."There was like a quiet," Damon added. "There weren't scripts being sent, or work to do, or people who needed answers for anything. It was just: Take the kids to school and then go train, or go for a walk. It was very simple. That part of it was eye-opening, going forward, in terms of how I'd like to spend my days.

"And that's what I did," he explained. "My friend's advice was great in the sense of not getting in a defensive crouch — because that was my inclination, and you can't hear anything in a defensive crouch — and as painful as it is, the only way forward is to really try to understand what you’ve done and really reflect on it," he recalled.
