Confinement in Ireland delivers its share of funny situations every day. And Matt Damon won’t disagree! Indeed, the Hollywood star, who was due to shoot the film “The Last Duel” in Ireland, was forced to stay on location in the country when events linked to COVID-19 turned sour.
Since then, Matt Damon has reportedly been living in the southern suburbs of Dublin with his family, who travelled with him for the shoot.
Matt Damon in Ireland, obliged to live there for many more weeks? It’s the news that’s making the locals smile!
It has to be said that the Irish are having a lot of fun with the situation: it’s quite rare to welcome such a high-profile figure to the region… Especially in the current climate.
The American star was reportedly regularly spotted in the Dalkey area of County Dublin. The latter has even taken on the typical habits of the local Irish! Something to make the locals smile!
Matt Damon was spotted swimming in the open sea off the coast of the village of Dalkey over Easter weekend.
The 49-year-old is said to have made a small dive on his own, respecting the gestures of barrier and social distancing. Fun fact: he reportedly approached the seaside equipped with a SuperValu shopping bag intended to hold his swimsuit and swimming gear.
An act that made the Irish laugh, as they themselves are used to using their bags for every occasion! That’s all it took for the locals to have a field day, claiming that by living in Ireland, Matt Damon is becoming a true Irishman himself!
The local SuperValu store in nearby Killiney – presumably where Matt Damon must have obtained the bag – took advantage of the opportunity to get some publicity. For the occasion, the store tweeted a special offer claiming that their shopping bag was an essential for “looking like a Hollywood movie star”.
The latest must have Hollywood fashion accessory the “reusable shopping bag” by Rushe’s SuperValu is exclusively available at… yes you guessed it, Rushes SuperValus.
For only 70c you too can look like a Hollywood movie star.

A bit of humor that helped create a buzz on the web!
As a reminder, Matt Damon has been confined in Ireland since the beginning of the lockdown. He was due to shoot Ridley Scott’s film “The Last Duel” in Ireland. Unfortunately, filming has been cancelled for the time being.
For the time being, Matt Damon seems to be filling his days as best he can. Very respectful of the measures in place, the actor would only go out for races and sports… He was reportedly seen jogging on Killiney Hill, a pretty spot renowned for its panoramic views over Dublin Bay.
