Damon: 'I don't have to deal with fame'

WENN

Matt Damon has claimed that he doesn't have to worry about being famous.

The Informant! star explained that because he is married and has children, there isn't much gossip about him.

"I probably have to deal with the least amount of nonsense around celebrity," he said. "Barring me getting up on a bar and dancing or leaving my wife for Lindsay Lohan, there's no story to update. Every six months someone comes and squeezes off a picture of me and, yup, I'm still married."

However, he admitted that he often parodies himself in an attempt to control the media attention surrounding him.

"People who thought they could control their image are from a different era," he said. "I guess it's being proactive. You're not waiting around to get ambushed."

The Informant! is released in the UK on November 20.
