Matt Damon and Luciana Damon’s eldest daughter, Isabella Damon, is gearing up for a new chapter in her academic journey after graduating from high school. The 18-year-old will be attending New York University’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study this coming fall, as reported by E! News.
The announcement of Isabella’s college plans was confirmed through a public Instagram post shared by her high school on May 24. The post celebrated her achievements and unique qualities, stating, “Congratulations, Bella! Your unique blend of observational wit, thoughtful prose, and unwavering self-assurance has left an indelible mark on our community.”
Isabella is described as a beacon of inspiration for her confident embrace of identity and fearless individuality. Her high school highlighted her creative contributions and the lasting impact she had on her peers.
For Matt Damon, Isabella’s graduation marks another milestone as he prepares for a quieter household with fewer children at home. The actor, who is also father to Alexia, Gia, and Stella, has often shared humorous anecdotes about Isabella’s candid critiques of his work.
“If the reviews come out and they’re terrible, then she’ll watch it,” Damon quipped in a 2021 interview with E! News, adding, “If they come out and they’re good, she’s going to pass.”
Known for her sharp wit and playful banter, Isabella has kept her father grounded, especially when it comes to his movies. Damon humorously recounted, “She doesn’t want to see any movies that I’m in that she thinks might be good… She just likes to give me s–t.”
Reflecting on one such instance, Damon shared a light-hearted exchange, “My daughter said, ‘Yeah, remember that movie you did, The Wall?’ I said, ‘It was called The Great Wall.’ She goes, ‘Dad there’s nothing great about that movie.'”
Despite the teasing, Damon appreciates Isabella’s honesty and humor, which he credits for keeping him humble. As Isabella embarks on this new academic journey, her family celebrates her accomplishments and looks forward to the bright future ahead.
