Hollywood superstar Matt Damon has delighted locals by isolating himself in a small Irish town with his family after being caught in Ireland’s coronavirus lockup.
The 49-year-old Bourne Identity star was filming Ridley Scott’s epic The Last Duel when the lockdown began and, amid the travel ban, he is now isolating himself at Dalkey Spa, a affluent Dublin suburb with his wife and four children.
Before the Irish bull run began on March 27, the Oscar winner was photographed posing outside a café and restaurant with fans, and also swimming near Dalkey with his clothes in a bag from the Irish grocery store SuperValuIRL .

A fan tweeted: ‘Matt Damon is going to swim near #Dalkey with his togs in a SuperValuIRL bag, fitting perfectly!’
Another wrote: ‘Matt Damon (big fan) at Dalkey with a bag of Supervalue brightened my day. It just talks about how human we all are. This virus has no selectivity, does not discriminate and affects us worldwide. I hope Matt is enjoying his stay here.
The star, estimated to be worth $ 160 million, has reportedly also been seen jogging by Dalkey.
Matt visited the Corner Note Cafe with his family on March 15 and happily posed for a photo with waitress Mary Caviston.

He told the Irish Mail on Sunday that he was surprised when he realized that the man at table 92 was the Hollywood icon.
She said: ‘He arrived around 9.30 on a Sunday morning. It was March 15, so just two days before we closed.
“ He was with his wife and his beautiful children, there were six of them in total, he was the last one and he wore a baseball cap, and I caught the American accent, but other than that he was just like any other client.
Here it is: On March 22, the down-to-earth star also posed to take photos with the staff of the Ouzos seafood restaurant in Dalkey.
‘He had a beautiful family. They were all impeccably polite, very polite, unpretentious, just really charming people.

The Last Duel, adapted from a historical novel by Matt and Ben Affleck, also stars Adam Driver.
The film marks the first comeback of Matt’s writers association with Ben Affleck since his award-winning script for Good Will Hunting.
MailOnline has contacted Matt’s reps for comment.
Last month, Matt teamed up with his co-stars in the 2011 virus thriller Contagion, a prophetic film these days, for a series of public service announcements to warn about COVID-19.
Matt, Laurence Fishburne, Kate Winslet and Jennifer Ehle have partnered with scientists at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health to offer four individual home videos with advice and a drive message.
Contagion, directed by Steven Soderbergh, explores a scenario in which a fast-moving, lethal influenza is spreading across the world.
Damon in his video notes that he is “ crawling on the iTunes charts, for obvious reasons. ”
The actor, who played a character in the film who was immune to the hypothetical virus, also stresses listening to experts and staying 6 feet away.
‘That was a movie. This is real life, ‘he says.
‘I have no reason to believe that I am immune to COVID-19. And you neither.
The public service announcements were written by the screenwriter of the film, Scott Z. Burns, under the guidance and with the input of the same medical experts who worked on the film. They were all filmed by the actors themselves, with Winslet’s husband helping to shoot his video.
