Matt Damon gears up for the next decade of his life, as he becomes a father for the fourth time, and awaits the release of Hereafter. While he may make a convincing blue collar American with a link to the afterlife in the film, Damon insists he's never tried to find out about his past lives or the futureu00a0
The star of the Bourne series, Matt Damon will now play an American day labourer grappling with his special connection with the afterlife in Clint Eastwood's Hereafter. 
The film which releases early next year, sees Damon's character George, come into contact with a French journalist who has had a near death experience, and a London school boy who loses someone.
In real life too, Damon admits to being intrigued by the unknown. Excerpts from an interview
Matt, you are entering a new decade in your life. Does turning 40 mean anything special to you?
Well, I didn't panic, that's a good sign, right? I feel that these days, 60 is the new 40. So, I am actually in my 20s. And that makes me feel much better (laughs).
So age doesn't bother you?
Not really. I mean, what can I do about it, it's part of life. I am realising that I am much closer to 60 now than I ever was before. But I feel good. I feel my life is right on track. I am a happy camper.
