Matt Damon's wife is expecting their fourth daughter.
Matt Damon doesn't have a bucket list. But if he did, he knows what would be at the top. In an interview with Parade.com, the actor, who stars in Clint Eastwood's new movie Hereafter, offered his take on being a good parent.
"I think what's important for kids to know is that your decisions here on earth matter, your behaviour matters, and how you treat other people matters. It matters here and I'm hoping that it matters in the afterlife, too," he said. "It just comes down to accountability for your own behaviour that's important. So whenever I talk to my own kids or whenever they ask, I try and put the hereafter in kind of an ethical framework. If I had a bucket list, I'd say raising my four girls to be strong, good women would be number one."
That's right up there with the best parenting advice celebrities have to offer, from Angelina Jolie's advice that "Children should be allowed to express themselves in whatever way they wish without anybody judging them" to Ewan McGregor's advice that "If you've made a decision to play with your children, then play with them. Don't be looking through papers on your desk or sneaking off to the computer. Turn off your BlackBerry."
But what's with Alec Baldwin suggesting parents shouldn't be friends with their kids? That seems kind of harsh.
