His chiseled jawline, fit physique, and signature brunette hair have been his trademarks, but now he’s embracing a new look, which has become an exciting discussion topic among fans and followers online.

In January 2024, Damon surprised everyone when he stepped out at the Golden Globes sporting a head full of natural gray hair. For much of his career, the actor kept his brunette locks intact, rarely changing his style.

However, as the years have gone by, Damon has gradually shifted from brunette to blonde, and now to a silver fox, making him the subject of adoration all over again.

While some may have been caught off guard by the change, many were quick to praise his new look. On Instagram, fans flooded the comments with compliments. “Still good looking tho [sic],” one person noted, while another chimed in, “He still looked very handsome.”

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time Damon’s appearance has been a talking point. In 2023, the actor faced criticism online when some noticed he had gained a bit of weight.

When he was spotted shirtless on the beach in Miami in September 2023, Damon showed off his fit body, complete with six-pack abs. The sight of him confidently strolling along the coast, enjoying a day out with his wife, Barroso, put to rest any concerns about his fitness.

Throughout it all, Damon has remained grounded. He has been happily married to Barroso since 2005, and the couple shares a beautiful blended family. The two are often seen together at several high-profile events, including the premiere of the movie “Air,” in Los Angeles in March 2023, where Damon reunited with Affleck.
