Matt Damon, People magazine's current Sexiest Man Alive, packed on thirty extra pounds to get into the character he was playing in Steven Soderbergh's The Informant. Matt jokes, "Now I'm the Sexiest Man Alive's chunky cousin!"
He informed USA Today of his weight-loss strategy. "I'm just boxing. I figure if you get hit enough times, it will fall off."
While his waistline is shrinking, his family is growing. His wife Luciana is due soon and their new addition will join Isabella, 2, and Damon's stepdaughter, Alexia, 9. The couple has not yet picked out a name. Matt says,"We decided to wait till she's born, and then we're going to get a look at her and we'll probably keep debating it."
Matt is also preparing for the launch of One X One Foundation's U.S. operations, with a San Francisco gala on October 23. The charity, started in Canada, is committed to providing aid and preserving the lives of children around the world.
"It's about helping kids," Damon says. "It's not like before I was a father I was like, 'The hell with those kids.' But something does shift when you have a child of your own. It's hard not to look at every child as somehow connected to you."
And I thought he couldn't get much better...
