Matt Damon claims to have stopped using the "F-Slur" months ago after his daughter told him to do so.

The actor said in an interview with The Sunday Times published following the premiere of his new film Stillwater that he had quit using a homophobic slur after his daughter requested him to stop. 

"The word my daughter refers to as the 'f-slur for a gay' was widely used when I was a youngster, but in a different context," he added in the interview. "I cracked a joke a few months back, and my daughter wrote me a treatise."

“She walked away from the table. ‘Come on, that's a joke!' I said. It's something I say in the movie Stuck on You!' She went to her room and composed a long, lovely essay on how deadly that phrase is."

"I said, 'I retire the f-word!' I got it."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Damon also addressed the backlash he received following his prior statements on notorious producer Harvey Weinstein.

After the numerous claims against Weinstein surfaced in 2017, he remarked, "As the father of four girls, this is the type of sexual predation that keeps me up at night."

“I see,” says the speaker "During the interview, he stated. "It's an excellent point. That kind of behavior should disgust anyone.”

He also said that his interview remarks are not being received as well as they once were: “The simplest way I can explain it twenty years ago was that the journalist paid more attention to the music than the lyrics [of an interview].” Your lyrics are now being analyzed in order to extract them from their context and provide the greatest headline possible.”

“Clicks are required by everyone. It didn't matter what I stated before because it didn't make the headlines. However, this adjustment might be beneficial. As a result, I shut the fuck up even more.”
