Matt Damon Inspired To Help Charity Even More After Having Kids

Ecorazzi - Ithaca,NY,USA - After enjoying the last three weeks with his new daughter Gia, Matt Damon played hosting duties Monday for the third year in a row at the OneXOne gala in Toronto, Canada. The event, which is being held in the midst of the star-studded Toronto International Film Festival, raises money to provide aid to children in need around the world.

Damon says that his expanding family (he now has two daughters with wife, Luciana) has inspired him to become even more involved with charitable work. “Something does change in you once you become a parent. …There definitely is a shift there that makes you, I think, a little more obsessed about helping children,” he said. “But it’s not like before I had kids, I was like: ‘to heck with those kids!’”
