Matt Damon was among the spectators at Derby Day in Melbourne on Saturday and took part in a horse race like the locals.
The Hollywood superstar put on an animated show as he watched from the sidelines with a group of friends.
The 53-year-old was a guest at LANDMARK at Lexus, hanging out with his wife Luciana Barroso and girlfriend Elsa Pataky.
Looking dapper in a tailored suit and sunglasses, Matt smiled and pointed as he strode wide into the race.
The Bourne Identity star is good friends with Elsa’s husband Chris Hemsworth and regularly visits Australia to spend time at their mega mansion in Byron Bay.

The actor lived in the country with his family for six months in 2021, where he filmed a role in the latest Thor episode.
“I’m so excited that my family and I will be able to call Australia home for the next few months,” Matt said before filming.
“Australian film crews are known worldwide for their professionalism and are a pleasure to work with. So the two-week quarantine will definitely be worth it.”
He added: “Australia is definitely the lucky country.”

The American actor’s travels have only fueled rumors that he plans to move Down Under full-time with his family.
A source told Woman’s Day: “Matt loves Australia… Chris is enjoying the quiet life away from Hollywood and that just makes it all the more appealing.”
This isn’t the first time reports have surfaced about Matt’s alleged plans to move to Byron Bay.
“Matt is telling friends and colleagues in Hollywood that he is moving the family to Australia for a year,” a “top” source told the publication.

“Matt says the move will have no impact on his work as he will travel to wherever his projects are. He also tells his friends that he wants a safe place to raise his children.”
But despite rumors of a move Down Under, Matt has denied leaving the US.
“Matt has been to Australia several times recently, but he has not bought a house there and will not be moving there,” his rep said at the time.
Matt is married to Luciana Barroso (47) and the couple have three daughters: Isabella, Gia and Stella.
The Good Will Hunting star is also the stepfather of Luciana’s daughter from her previous marriage, Alexia.
