Hollywood superstar Matt Damon spends Easter in sunny Byron Bay with his family

MATT Damon clearly can’t get enough of Australia. The Hollywood superstar has spent Easter Down Under with his family at the beach. It’s understood he has bought a property next door to close mate Chris Hemsworth.

HE may be a genuine Hollywood superstar but Matt Damon can’t avoid dad duties during a family vacation.

The A-lister is back in Byron Bay for Easter and a day at the beach required some good old fashioned adult brawn to carry the family supplies across the water.
