Matt hits back at flab

2008-07-30 14:52

Los Angeles - Matt Damon has taken up boxing in a bid to lose weight.

The 37-year-old actor admits he is finding it tough to lose the excess kilos he gained to play a whistleblower in 2009 movie The Informant, but recently started learning the combat sport to slim down.

He said: "If you put it on, it's easier to get it back off. I'm just boxing. I figure if you get hit enough times, it will fall off!"

Matt, who was named People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive in 2007, laughed: "Now I'm the Sexiest Man Alive's chunky cousin!"

Meanwhile, the Bourne Ultimatum actor - who has a nine-year-old stepdaughter Alexia and two-year-old daughter Isabella with wife Luciana - revealed it was his children who inspired him to join forces with One X One Foundation, a charity which helps children worldwide.

He told USA Today newspaper: "It's about helping kids. It's not like before I was a father I was like, "The hell with those kids." But something does shift when you have a child of your own. It's hard not to look at every child as somehow connected to you." - Bang Showbiz.com

Anon says... I wouldn't stress too much if I were JLo. No one wants to see her naked anyway. Her backside will probably fill the whole screen. She is no Paris Hilton that's for sure. Read the article...
