Matt Damon made a rare family appearance at the New York premiere of his upcoming Netflix film ‘The Rip’, but it was his teenage daughter who stole the moment rather than the Hollywood star. The actor attended the screening with his wife, Luciana Barroso, and three of their daughters, marking an unusual red carpet outing for the famously private family.
The evening took a light-hearted turn when a clip circulated online showing Damon being teased by his daughter Gia for the way he posed for photographers alongside long-time friend and co-star Ben Affleck. As Damon returned to his family, Gia mockingly copied his stance, prompting laughter and a playful response from the actor, who mirrored her movements.
Fans were quick to react to the moment online, praising the family’s warmth and the easy humour between father and daughter. Many described the exchange as relatable, with several noting how refreshing it was to see a celebrity parent being gently roasted by their child.
The Rip reunites Damon and Affleck on screen as Miami police officers whose partnership is tested after they discover millions of dollars at a crime scene.
Written and directed by Joe Carnahan, the film also stars Steven Yeun, Teyana Taylor and Kyle Chandler, and is set to premiere on Netflix on January 16.
