Matt Damon says he stopped using the word in recent months.

He says he put the f-word away for good in recent months, explaining he didn't think of it much as a slur when he was growing up, adding ..."The word that my daughter calls the 'f-slur for a homosexual' was commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application."

He goes on to say that he made a joke using the word in front of one of his 3 daughters, -- who range in age between 10 and 15 -- and they actually protested his usage of it.Matt says,"She left the table. I said, 'Come on, that's a joke! I say it in the movie Stuck on You!' 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.

play bros who are joined at the hip, literally. The word comes up in its shortened form as a musical montage starts to play after they've been separated. There's a lot more in Damon's ST interview -- including a hot take that anyone, really, with wit could've played Iron Man ... not justAnyway, Matt says the modern world has taught him to do one thing so much better ..."shut the f*** up more."

It's dumb to say Matt Damon is gay because he says fggot. That's like saying u hate the smell of garbage cans, but u secretly eat crumbs from it.

So will he get a pass? That’s an ugly hate filled term that many people have reported being called when horrible acts of cowardice are being committed. There is no justification for such carelessness and ignorance in the use of that word.

He shouldn't be using it at all.

He is gay and i think its ok for him to come out

People hate what they are.

he kinda looks like one tho, to me at least so its possibly okay kinda like how rap music can say slurs ya know?

he also thinks iron man could be played by anyone , clown

O boy thank u TMZ

He has children be careful your own words won't bite him in he's ass. We are all human beings. And to think I watched n loved all he's movies now I'm not feeling the same Smfh!! I will pray 🙏

Yeah needa see that same energy those mofos gave DaBaby....but wait Wypipo NEVER get the same treatment. Cancel culture only applies to the black man

Disappointed to hear this about him. Also- why would you publicly admit this?!?!

Y'all will manage to find a way to still shit on his growth.

I thought he was gay himself?

So he gets a free pass? The word has been taboo for the last 10 years.

Jeez...here we go again.....America needs to stop being so damn PC. It is tireso e for the rest of us in the world....

Oh my... he's like 50 years old .I guess you can Only Do better when you KNOW better so, it's a Start.

wow I’m so proud of this bigot!🥲

Well everytime they call the cops the send a pizza guy like its a big joke.

Clearly he should never work again. All awards for past work should be taken away too. His philanthropy? Meaningless!!! He should probably wear a Scarlett letter too.

My boys wicked smart Argo Melvin2020

He was just in NY. Handsome fella. Polite.

Just recently lol. He looks like he would’ve owned slaves back when 😂

He needs to grow up. I've never liked him.

But when did he stop taking cocks up the ass and swallowing semen by the gallon loads tho?

Harvard educated but he JUST stopped using this outdated offensive hateful term?

French Fries ?

Nah, I still use the word faggot

You mfs are soft

If he admits to this, I guarantee he uses racial slurs too.

What is a homophobic F word Now what's the problem?Does it ever end? Getoverit

His career will be fine.

Give this man a nobel prize

Puss it’s a word people don’t own it and if they let words ruin their day they have bigger problems

That’s gay.

Repeat!

Why stop? Who cares?

Who cares?

The funniest part about this is the word “homophobic” means being scared of gay people. I’m pretty sure he isn’t scared of them. It’s the most overused and incorrectly used word in the English language.

So what who cares!! Why is this newsworthy,,NOT!! TMZ quit kissing actors asses. There's more real interesting & worthwhile reporting that's not as shallow as your reporting is.

WHO GIVES A FUCK? THERES MORE IMPORTANT SHIT GOING ON Jesus Christ.🤦🏾‍♂️

Wait, we can't say 'fabulous' any more?

Why?

That’s Fucken good.

What an odd thing to admit. Has someone recently threatened him with video of him using the F word? 🤔

Wait, so you can drop F-slur bombs until 50 and come away as the hero of the story?

I love my gay friends and family....i say it still cause words are words f everyone

In The Departed ? 😕

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.

Someone probably has a tape of him saying it so this is a preemptive move.
