Matt Damon
Birth Date: October 08, 1970
Birth Place: Cambridge, Mass.

Former Harvard student Matt Damon cemented his fame in 1998, when he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay (Good Will Hunting) with best friend Ben Affleck. Overnight, the two boys-next-door became bonafide A-listers.

While Affleck went on to commercial blockbusters like Armageddon, Damon aligned with award-friendly directors like Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan) and Anthony Minghella (The Talented Mr. Ripley). More recently, Damon has balanced dramatic work in The Departed and The Good Shepherd with popular trilogies like Ocean's Eleven and The Bourne Identity.

Though he has dated starlets like Winona Ryder and Minnie Driver, PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive in 2007 has kept his love life private. In 2005, he quietly married Luciana Bozan Barroso before welcoming daughter, Isabella, in 2006. In 2008, the couple will be adding a third child to their brood.
