Hollywood star Matt Damon was discovered and was having coffee in Dublin this morning.
The 49-year-old Good Will Hunting star, who spent his time locked up in Dalkey, posed for a moment on Killiney Hill.
He was due to shoot a new movie directed by Ridley Scott, The Last Duel, here this month, but filming was delayed.
Local Mark Mehigan went jogging around 9:30 a.m. when he saw actor Jason Bourne.
He told the Irish Mirror: “I run down Killiney Hill every morning and see him in Dalkey on the way home.
“He was really nice.
“I apologized for disturbing you.
“Initially I walked past him because I didn’t want to disturb him.
“But then I just bit the bullet and asked him if he would mind if I took a picture.
“He said, of course, and then positioned himself so that he was in the photo but two meters away.”
It’s certainly hard to keep a low profile when you’re one of the best-known actors on the planet.

Comedian Mark, 29, had been living in London since 2015, but moved to Dublin since the worldwide pandemic broke out.
The funny man was very impressed by the kindness of the actor.
He added: “I made a joke about getting him to come as a guest of (Mark’s podcast) The Sunday Roast.
“He said he would love to, but then he forgot to give me his number.
“However, he seemed like a very nice guy.”
Matt Damon said his Irish quarantine is “like a fairy tale” and hailed Dalkey’s beauty.
Mark accepts that it is an impressive place.
He said: “I cannot imagine a better place in the world at any time, much less during a pandemic.
“Usually I live in London, this is the closest Innisfree thing I’ve been to for quite some time!
“For Hollywood actors I suspect this is the perfect place, no one would bother Hollywood actors for a photo, unless they are an annoying person with a podcast like me!”

It occurs when Jason Bourne and the Ocean 11 actor revealed that their oldest daughter contracted Covid 19 in New York, while the rest of her family remained isolated in Dublin.
Speaking about the confinement life in Dalkey, he said: “This is one of the most beautiful places we have been to.
“I am with my whole family, I have my children and we have teachers with us because we were planning to miss school for approximately 8 weeks.
“So we have what no one else has, that they are living human beings who teach our children, all schools are closed at home and all children are learning at a distance.”
“So we feel guilty, we have this incredible kind of facility in this place, it’s absolutely wonderful.”
The actor, who was seen exercising in nearby Killiney Hill, added: “It’s crazy. I thought it was amazing two months ago, but now it’s starting to flourish and it’s just amazing.
“It feels like a fairy tale. When I first arrived, people said well, “Bono lives there, Enya lives there.”
“I can’t think of any other place you would prefer to be within a 2 kilometer radius.”

The Hollywood A-lister has been living in the affluent Dublin suburb since March, after the closure meant it couldn’t leave Ireland.
Damon revealed that he had just arrived in Dublin to work on Ridley Scott’s new movie, The Last Duel, when the coronavirus appeared, leaving his wife Luciana Barroso and their three younger children living longer in the Irish capital.
Speaking about her oldest daughter Alexia’s dispute with the virus in the United States, she said the family plan is to return to her home in Los Angeles to meet at the end of the month.
Speaking to Graham O’Toole and Nathan O’Reilly in Spin 103.8’s Fully Charged, he said: “Our oldest daughter is in college, obviously that has been closed.
“She is in New York City and had very early COVID along with her roommates and got over it.

“So I should not say that our whole family is together, of our 4 children we have the youngest 3 and the oldest, we will meet her at the end of the month.
“But everyone is fine.
“We are going back to Los Angeles and she (Matt’s older daughter) is going out, so we are all together and finding out what the hell we are going to do.
“It is such a strange limbo that we are all inside.”
However, the Departed star said he was concerned about going home and praised Ireland’s handling of the crisis thus far.
Praising the work of Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, he said: “You have a president who just goes to the hospital and starts working, I mean how rude he is on another level.”
“We are a little worried about going home, but we are watching the news, but it seems that they are reopening.”
“We don’t have adequate evidence, so there will be another wave that seems to be at home.”

“There are all these areas in the United States that really hadn’t penetrated and now, you know …”
And despite sidestepping the question of whether to buy a property in Dalkey, it appears that the Dublin suburb has a new number one fan.
He said, “I will come back anyway, whenever the world is fixed and we are allowed to return to work, we still have this movie to do it.
“I have 8 weeks of shooting to wait, so I have at least a few more months here.
Who knows what the world will be like? However, this would not be a bad place to end, we really love it. “
