Matt Damon Recalls Crazy Dream After His Dad Died [Video]

Matt Damon is reflecting on some of his earliest childhood moments as he remembers his late father.

The actor’s father, Kent Damon, died from rare blood disease multiple myeloma on Dec. 14, 2017, at age 74.

Damon, 53, revealed during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday the “crazy dream” that helped him remember one of his earliest moments with his father.

“After my father passed away in 2017, within that year, I had this crazy dream,” said Damon after being asked about his earliest memory. “He came to me in a dream, and he embraced me. And the feeling that I got was the feeling that I had — which I think is like my first memory — which was the feeling of what it felt like to be held by him.”

Damon said the feeling gave him a sense of “overwhelming protection and love.”
