Damon was born on October 8, 1970, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to stockbroker Kent Telfer Damon (1942″2017) and Nancy Carlsson-Paige (b. 1946), a Lesley University early childhood education professor. His father is of English and Scottish lineage, while his mother is of Finnish and Swedish ancestry; her surname was altered from “Pajari” to “Paige.” Damon and his family spent two years in Newton. When he was two years old, his parents split, and he and his brother moved to Cambridge with their mother, where they lived in a six-family common home. Kyle, his younger brother, is a sculptor and artist. He has stated that he thought he did not belong as a lonely adolescent. He struggled to define his own identity as a result of his mother’s “by the book” approach to child upbringing.
Damon was a strong student at Cambridge Alternative School and Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. He appeared in various high school theatrical plays as an actor. Though his close friend and schoolmate Ben Affleck earned the “largest roles and longest monologues,” he praised his theatre instructor Gerry Speca as a key aesthetic influence. He was a member of the class of 1992 at Harvard University and a resident of Lowell House, but he dropped out before graduating to pursue a main part in the film Geronimo: An American Legend. Damon authored an early draft of the screenplay Good Will Hunting as an English class assignment at Harvard, for which he eventually won an Academy Award. He was a member of Harvard’s Delphic Club, one of the exclusive Final Clubs. He received the Harvard Arts Medal in 2013.
