Matt Damon to take a year off for his family

Matt Damon has said he will be taking a year off from work, to support his family. The Martian actor has three daughters and often brings his family with him to movie sets said in an interview: "I took a bunch of roles in a row. I've done four straight movies in a row and I have one more to go. “They're really good sports. They're great travellers. But I'm excited to finish this year of work and take a year off and be at their behest for once." The 45-year-old star revisited the Jason Bourne franchise – after a nearly 10 year break, due to popular demand by fans. He said: "After years of that, it gets humbling. I've certainly made a lot of movies that nobody went to see, so when you have a loyal audience that's asking for something, at a certain point we looked at each other and said, 'Let's get off our high horse and do it.' "
