Matt Damon reveals wife underwent brain surgery before 2024 Oscars

Actor Matt Damon shared details in a GQ interview regarding a serious health crisis faced by his wife, Luciana Barroso. Barroso underwent surgery for a brain aneurysm just one week prior to the 2024 Academy Awards.

Damon described his wife’s decision to attend the post-Oscar party as “heroic,” noting that she chose to dress up and accompany him despite her recent medical intervention. He stated that she has since made a full recovery.

The couple attended the festivities to support the cast and crew of Oppenheimer, which was a major winner at the ceremony. Damon noted the importance of being present, recalling that he missed the 2007 Oscars when The Departed won Best Picture due to filming commitments.
