Movie star Matt Damon doesn't look like this anymore
Movie star Matt Damon has stepped into his silver fox era, ditching his well-known clean-cut look.
The 54-year-old sported a head full of grey hair and and a bushy beard as he attended Netflix Tudum 2025 — an event that celebrates the streaming service's fandom and 'culture-defining storytelling'.
Damon headlined the event alongside actor Ben Affleck and singer Teyana Taylor.

'I trusted Matt would shave the beard before Tudum — and here we are,' Affleck said.
Damon has grown out his beard for his role as the legendary Greek king of Ithaca, Odysseus, for the movie adaptation of the epic poem The Odyssey by Homer.
Along with growing out his beard, Damon has also grown an incredible set of abs.
Topless pictures of the actor emerged in April, showing off his ripped physique, with Affleck saying he is 'kind of impressed' with how good his childhood pal looks. Matt Damon attends Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event. Credit: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / FilmMagic
'I have to say, I have to give him respect,' Affleck said.
'As you get on in life, it's less and less easy to do this, as I can tell you, and he is getting it done.
'And I'm a little bit — yeah, I don't like it, I feel like he's upstaging me, but what are you gonna do?
'I gotta respect it. He does look pretty good, I'm kind of impressed.'

Mia Farrow reveals 'strange vibe' she got from Joan Crawford: 'She was scary...'
Mia Farrow was "scared" of Joan Crawford when she met her. The 80-year-old actress was working on the same lot as the late Hollywood legend - who suffered a fatal heart attack in 1977 - in the 1960s, and recalled getting a "strange vibe" from her at the time, and this was escalated when she received an invite to her apartment. She told Interview: "She's scary. And she was scary in person as well. " I more than met her. I forget what movie was shooting, probably that one with Bette Davis, the scary one. If ['Whatever Happened to Baby Jane'] was shot at Fox, then that was what they were shooting. And for whatever reason, she started sending a whole refrigerator of Pepsi Cola for my trailer 'cause I was in a TV series called 'Peyton Place'. "I don't particularly like Pepsi Cola, but a lot of Pepsi Cola kept coming to my trailer, more than anyone would ever want. And then she came over to see me and I got a strange vibe from her. "So I'm back in New York, and she knew my mother. I hung up people's coats for my mom when they came into the house. And I hung her coat and out falls a flask of alcohol. She grabbed it like that, and she put it in her handbag. She drank quite a lot. "Then she invited me to her apartment. I thought it was a party, but I arrived, and I was the only one there. The 'Great Gatsby' star - who was famously married to legendary crooner Frank Sinatra for two years in the 1960s - didn't feel comfortable in Joan's presence when they were alone together and made up an excuse to leave straight away. She added: " I was 17, and everything was green in her apartment. It just had very low lighting. And there were no other guests, just Ms. Crawford and me. And I just wasn't very comfortable. "So I just made up a lie that I wasn't feeling very well, and I didn't want to give her any diseases. I think I said the word 'diseases' as I walked out of the room. I was scared of Ms. Crawford."

What Timothée's ex really thinks of his new relationship
Timothée Chalamet's ex, Mexican actress and singer Eiza González, has reacted to his new romance with Kylie Jenner. The Baby Driver star gave a surprising response when asked about Chalamet's new relationship during Cosmopolitan's Cheap Shots segment. González read the question card she was given aloud: 'You made headlines for liking a photo of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, what really went on between you and Timothée?' Instead of choosing to take a shot, the 35-year-old decided to answer. 'I did like it, they look so cute together, they look so in love and cute and I'm obsessed with them and I love Timmy,' she said.

But, she kept the details of their tryst under wraps and instead heaped praise on his career success. 'I think he is the most talented, sweetest boy and I'm just so proud to see him thriving and doing great in his career, González continued. 'We're just good friends. I have nothing but amazing things to say about him.' González's kind-hearted words come just weeks after the headline-making couple made their red carpet debut at the 70th David Di Donatello awards.

She wore a black Schiaparelli gown and Chalamet wore a black velvet Tom Ford suit as they posed affectionately for photographs. Chalamet received the award for Cinematic Excellence following his recent roles in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, as well as Dune: Part Two.

The Murdochs are feuding but their empire is thriving
Nothing in Fox's television schedules last year was quite as exciting – or, at times, as profane – as the drama that played out in a closed probate court in Reno, Nevada. Rupert Murdoch, the 94-year-old founder and controlling shareholder of Fox Corporation and its sister company News Corp, was trying to change the terms of a family trust to block three of his children from inheriting control of the companies upon his death. The high-stakes legal manoeuvre was rejected. An appeal – and thus a new season of morbid entertainment for media watchers – is in the works. As the Murdochs continue their decades-long, multibillion-dollar family feud, the empire they are fighting over is flourishing. This is doubly surprising. For one thing, succession crises and legal uncertainty tend not to bolster investors' confidence in a company. What's more, the Murdoch firms are giants in linear television and print journalism, declining industries that markets have not been kind to. Why is a pair of legacy media companies controlled by a dysfunctional dynasty so popular with investors? Start with Fox, the larger of the two, with a market value of $US24 billion ($37 billion). Its business is concentrated in American broadcast and cable television, which in recent years have witnessed a bloodbath. As the Murdochs continue their decades-long, multibillion-dollar family feud, the empire they are fighting over is flourishing. Over the past decade-and-a-half, the share of homes with pay TV has fallen from nearly 90 per cent to barely 50 per cent as viewers have defected to streaming services such as Netflix. As for broadcast television, Americans today spend half as much time watching it as they do streaming, according to Nielsen, a data company. While other legacy media companies' values have stagnated or worse, Fox's has soared. The difference lies in its content mix. In 2019 Fox sold its general-entertainment assets to Disney for $US71 billion at what turned out to be the top of the market, deciding to focus on news and sport. It was the right call: streamers like Netflix have since grabbed the audience for general entertainment, while news and sport have mostly stayed on linear TV, and thus with Fox.
