Matt Damon was among the crowds at Derby Day in Melbourne on Saturday, taking in a horse race just like the locals.
The Hollywood superstar put on an animated display as he watched from the sidelines with a group of friends.
The 53-year-old was a guest of LANDMARK by Lexus and mingled with his wife Luciana Barroso and friend Elsa Pataky.
Matt looked dapper in a well cut suit and sunglasses, and was seen laughing and pointing as he got well into the race.
The Bourne Identity star is close friends with Elsa’s husband Chris Hemsworth and frequently visits to spend time at their mega-mansion in Byron Bay.

The actor spent six months living in the country with his family in 2021, where he filmed a role in the latest Thor installment.
‘I’m so excited that my family and I will be able to call home for the next few months,’ Matt said ahead of the shoot.
‘n film crews are world renowned for their professionalism and are a joy to work with so the 14 days of quarantine will be well worth it.’

‘Matt’s saying the move will not impact his work – as he will travel to wherever his projects are shooting. He’s also telling friends he wants to have a safe place to raise his kids.’
But despite whispers of a move Down Under, Matt has denied he is leaving the US.
‘Matt has visited several times recently, but he has not bought a house there nor is he moving there,’ his representative said at the time.
Matt is married to Luciana Barroso, 47, and the couple share three daughters – Isabella, Gia and Stella.
The Good Will Hunting star is also the stepfather to Luciana’s daughter from her previous marriage, Alexia.
