Glad that I am not as famous as Brad Pitt: Matt Damon

London: Actor Matt Damon is glad that he is not as famous as his superstar friend Brad Pitt.

Damon, 42, said he has been able to keep his personal life mostly out of the public eye because he married a civilian, reported Contactmusic.

"I remember telling him that I walk my kids to school, and his face just fell. Because he should be able to do that, too. And he can't.

"I got lucky. I fell in love with a civilian. Not an actress and not a famous actress at that. Because then the attention doesn't double it grows exponentially. Because then suddenly everybody wants to be in your bedroom," Damon said.

Damon has been married to Luciana, a former bartender, from past eight years.

The actor also revealed that he and his family are about to move to Los Angeles, to a home just down the street from his best friend Ben Affleck, with whom he is starting a production company.
