matt_damonActor Matt Damon attended the premiere of his History Channel documentary The People Speak this week and commented on how he wants to make sure that his two daughters become politically active and talks about play dates and Thanksgiving.

Although Matt’s daughters are still very young (Isabella, 3, and Gia, 1) he is already planning to get them involved in being politically active. He says, “The tagline is that ‘Democracy is not a spectator sport,’” Matt says. “That’s what I would want, more than anything, my kids to take away. This country is about participation, activism, understanding the history of the country, understanding your place in that history, being involved and being a productive part of the American experience.”

On the carpet for his new documentary Matt also mentioned to OK! that although he and Ben Affleck are best friends since childhood, his little girls and Ben’s (Violet,3, and Seraphina, 10 months) have not had any play dates together yet. “We’re on different coasts,” Matt says.

The Oscar winner talked about fatherhood and how he is constantly surprised. He says, “I never knew I could function this well with no sleep. That was a realization.”

When asked about his Thanksgiving plans, he replied, “We’re getting out of town for a few days, and going down to Florida.” Matt also commented that his favorite Thanksgiving tradition is “eating.” “Thanksgiving, yeah. It’s gotta be the eating,” he said.

Matt and his wife Luciana will be married for 4 years in December. Luciana has an 11-year-old daughter from a previous relationship as well.
