Matt Damon insists he isn't worried about turning 40, because he has so much to look forward to.

The actor reaches the landmark birthday this October, and while many others may fear getting older, he is happy with what he has achieved so far.

Matt has enjoyed a successful career and is happily married to Luciana Bozan Barroso, who is currently pregnant with their fourth child.

Even though he is entering a new decade, Matt is confident there will be many more opportunities for him to further his career as it will allow him to consider other types of roles.

"I don't know how I will celebrate turning 40 yet, but yet I am not afraid of this number," he told German television channel Tele 5, who are showing The Brothers Grimm on August 3.

"When you work with people like Clint Eastwood or Morgan Freeman who have done such great things in their 70s and are still active I am not worried because of my future."

Matt and Luciana ensure they put their relationship before his hectic work schedule and never spend more than two weeks away from each other.

The Hollywood hunk hates being parted from his kids and usually arranges for them to accompany him when he is shooting on location, or does his best to work predominantly in the US.

"When I was making Invictus we lived in South Africa for a couple of weeks. For Green Zone I took my wife and children with me to Morocco. But our main base is New York therefore I try to find movies which are made there or nearby," Matt explained.

"Luciana and I have this deal that we aren't separated for more than two weeks. There must be a solution for everything else."
