Matt Damon has impressed many with his time in the spotlight over the years. Here are some of his most memorable pics.

The Academy Award winner has been a staple in the industry for decades, and it seems like just yesterday he was breaking onto the scene as the baby-faced writer and star of ‘Good Will Hunting.’ Matt and his childhood pal Ben Affleck rose to fame alongside each other when the film, which was set in their hometown of Cambridge and drew from their own experiences, went on to receive nine Academy Award nominations and grossed $225 million. 

Matt’s star has been on the up-and-up ever since! He went on to earn critical acclaim for his multiple star turns in films like ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley,’ and ‘The Departed.’ Of course, he also landed the title role of Jason Bourne in the ‘Bourne’ franchise and played a con man in the ‘Ocean’s trilogy. Now an acclaimed actor, he received more acting nods from the academy when he was nominated at the Oscars for his roles in ‘Invictus’ and ‘The Martian.’ Scroll through the gallery above to see pics of Matt through the years.
