Matt Damon not worried about growing age

Matt Damon, who is approaching 40, is not bothered about his growing age.

London: Hollywood actor Matt Damon, who is about to enter his 40th year admits he is not bothered about his growing age. The American actor couldn`t care less about reaching the landmark age in October because he has been told by his `Invictus` co-star Morgan Freeman, 72, that it`s the best age to be.

"I was talking to Morgan and someone said I was about to turn 40 and Morgan said, `Are you about to turn 40?` I said I was and he said, `You are just coming into your prime.` I said, `Really?` And he replied, `The 40s are the best decade by far. That`s when things really get good.`," Damon said. The `Bourne Identity` star is also hoping to try his hand at directing soon. "I can`t wait to direct. The only thing that is stopping me from directing is that I keep getting these great roles," Damon said. The actor`s latest movie `Invictus` tells the story of how Nelson Mandela, played by Freeman and South African rugby captain Francois Pienaar portrayed by Matt joined forces to lead the team to an unlikely 1995 World Cup victory over the All Blacks and unify the racially fragmented country following the end of apartheid.
