Matt Damon: I'm Not the King of My Castle

Matt Damon: I'm Not the King of My Castle

In the entertainment industry, Matt Damon is a well-respected, Academy award-winning actor. To the general public, he's a handsome, talented, funny celebrity. But at home with his wife and daughters? He's just Dad -- and he's completely outnumbered.

"I've come to accept it," says the star of the Clint Eastwood-directed drama Hereafter (in theaters Oct. 22). Damon, 40, and his wife Luciana have three daughters -- Isabella, 4, Gia, 2, and Alexia (from Luciana's previous marriage) -- and one more on the way. The actor tells iVillage exclusively that even his father likes to joke about him being the minority in his home. "My father called me laughing about a year ago... he said, 'Remember Jackie Gleason on The Honeymooners? He drove a bus and people kinda crapped on him. But when he got home he's the king of his castle. Well, we realized you're the opposite,'" Damon recalls with a laugh.

Watch our exclusive interview (above) to hear Damon dish about his home life and to find out why his upcoming drama, which deals with the issues of death, is so emotional to watch -- especially for parents.
