Hollywood
star
Matt
Damon
has
revealed
that
his
eldest
daughter
Alexis
had
contracted
coronavirus
while
he
was
stuck
in
Ireland.
The
actor
is
in
quarantine
in
with
his
family
in
the
small
town
of
Dalkey,
Ireland,
where
he
was
shooting
for
a
movie
whose
production
was
halted
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
Damon
made
a
surprise
appearance
on
a
local
radio
show
--"SPIN
1038
Fully
Charged"
--
where
he
talked
about
how
Alexis
was
diagnosed
with
coronavirus
early
on.
"I'm
in
the
middle
of
a
movie
that
I
shot
the
first
half
in
France
and
we
were
moving
to
Ireland
and
kind
of
right
when
we
arrived
in
Ireland,
the
movie
was
shut
down...
"Our
oldest
daughter's
in
college.
Obviously
that's
been
shut
down,
but
she's
in
New
York
City.
She
had
COVID
really
early
on
along
with
her
roommates
and
got
through
it
fine," Damon
said.
Alexis
is
the
actor's
stepdaughter
from
his
wife
Luciana
Bozan
Barroso's
previous
marriage
but
Damon
considers
her
as
his
own.
"I
shouldn't
say
our
whole
family's
together.
Of
our
four
kids
we've
got
the
three
younger
ones
and
our
oldest
one,
we'll
reunite
with
her
at
the
end
of
the
month.
But
everybody's
OK," Damon
said.
