Even after months since Coronavirus first broke out in the Wuhan province of China the virus has not slowed down. Many celebrities across the world have also contracted and later recovered from the virus including Tom Hanks and Idris Elba. In a recent interview actor Matt Damon reveals that his daughter contracted the COVID 19 virus in the first few weeks of the pandemic.
Damon said that his daughter Alexia tested positive for the virus while she was staying in New York City. Matt Damon himself was shooting for his film, The Last Duel before the film came to a sudden halt due to the pandemic outbreak.
The Contagion star said, "She's (Alexia) in New York City and she had COVID really early on along with her roommates and got through it fine."
"We'll reunite with her at the end of the month. But everybody's OK, obviously Lucy's mom and my mom – it's scary for that generation, " he added.
He also added saying, "Anybody who says you couldn't predict this – I mean, just look at Contagion. Ten years ago, we made a movie just by talking to experts and asking them 'How would this look? And how would it go down?' So it's upsetting. The whole thing is tragic and sad... I think at least now, we know what to do and we won't look at people like they're crazy when they tell us to go sit at home and wash our hands and social distance."
