He won further critical acclaim for his performances in dramas such as ''Syriana'' (2005) and ''The Good Shepherd'' (2006), as well as for his role as a villain in the neo-noir crime drama ''The Departed'' (2006). Damon has also performed voice-over work and established several production companies. Damon has been actively involved in charitable work, including the ONE Campaign, H2O Africa Foundation, Feeding America, and Water.org. With his wife, Luciana Bozán Barroso, Damon has three daughters and a stepdaughter from Barroso's prior marriage. == Early life == Damon was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the second son of Kent Telfer Damon (born 1942), a stockbroker, and Nancy Carlsson-Paige (born 1944), an early childhood education professor at Lesley University. His father is of English and Scottish descent, and his mother is of five eighths Finnish and three eighths Swedish ancestry (his mother's family surname had been changed from the Finnish "Pajari" to "Paige").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Matt Damon makes headlines in Finland - www.hometownfocus.us - Hometown Focus - Virginia, Minnesota )〕 Damon and his family moved to Newton for two years. His parents divorced when he was two years old, and Damon and his brother returned with their mother to Cambridge,〔 where they lived in a six-family communal house. His brother Kyle is now an accomplished sculptor and artist.〔 As a lonely adolescent, Damon has said that he felt that he did not belong.〔 Due to his mother's "by the book"〔 approach to child-rearing, he had a hard time defining a self identity.〔 He attended Cambridge Alternative School (now Graham and Parks) and then Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, where he was a good student,〔 but had a "terrifying" first two years due to his short stature. Damon performed as an actor in several high school theater productions.〔 He credited his drama teacher, Gerry Speca, as an important artistic influence, even though Ben Affleck,〔 his good friend and schoolmate, got the "biggest roles and longest speeches". Damon is Affleck's tenth cousin, once removed, through a common New England ancestor. Damon attended Harvard University, where he was a member of the class of 1992, but left before receiving his degree in order to take a lead role in the film ''School Ties''. While at Harvard he wrote an early treatment of the screenplay for ''Good Will Hunting'' as an exercise for an English class. Damon was a member of the Delphic Club, one of the University's select Final Clubs. In 2013, he was awarded the Harvard Arts Medal.〔( "Matt Damon on His Craft" Colleen Walsh, ''The Harvard Gazette'' April 25, 2013 )〕 Damon received an Academy Award for the screenplay of ''Good Will Hunting'' in 1998, which was handed to him by fellow Harvard alumnus Jack Lemmon, who had also been a member of Harvard's Delphic Club.〔( "Oscar joins the family" Irene Sege, ''The Boston Globe'' March 25, 1998 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Matt Damon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
