over the weekend. As part of a larger discussion about the shifting landscape of Hollywood and cultural sensibilities -- and "changes in modern masculinity" -- Damon shared a story with the outlet about his own use of an offensive term that he's now retired.

"I made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter," recalled Damon, who shares three kids -- daughters Isabella, 15, Gia, 12, and Stella, 10 -- with wife Luciana Barroso."She left the table. I said, 'Come on, that's a joke! I say it in the movie!' She went to her room and wrote a very long, beautiful treatise on how that word is dangerous. I said, 'I retire the f-slur!' I understood.

Great PR due to new movie release. All media outlets

I'm amazed he even brought this up. Vermin troll entire posting histories for nuggets like this and he hands it to them on a silver platter

These celebs just love to ruin their own careers 😂

When will people learn that it is not necessary to tell ALL of your personal business? If he's stopped using the word, good for him. Nobody would've known this if he hadn't have opened his trap.

It amazes me that he did not understand that there would be backlash. Has he been living in that large of a bubble?

They are so quick to stop people saying the F word for gay people but not the N-word for Black people y’all are funny man 👎😂😂👎🤦‍♂️

Matt Damon Says He Stopped Using Homophobic F-Slur Just RecentlyMatt Damon says he stopped using the word in recent months. Someone probably has a tape of him saying it so this is a preemptive move. These comments are funny to me, because people act like it's hard to just be respectful, Christians get mad when they are under attack yet want to be homophobic, straight white males are the same whine when they get attacked but want to say slurs, how about just respect others? I honestly think he was trying to highlight how young people can teach the Elders how to nix certain words from your vocabulary. Shall we move on to the R-word. I bet no one coming after him can claim they haven't used the R-word in the last 10 years.

It Took a 'Treatise' to Get Matt Damon to Stop Saying the F-WordThe actor admitted he only stopped using “the f-slur for a homosexual” a few months ago, at his daughter's request Hold on while Google that. Oh, Matt. I did not know of the word, “treatise” before now. I have known for many years of the negative history of the word he seems to be ignorant of. So, it’s likely that well-vocabularied Matt just never cared. Does he think this is a good story?
