Internet Detectives Reckon They've Found Matt Damon's Secret Instagram Account

Internet detectives believe they may very well have found Matt Damon's secret Instagram account.

The Ocean's Eleven actor recently revealed that he had an account on the site, but that he liked to keep it on the DL.

So, as you'd expect, people online got to work trying to track down Damon's mysterious profile.

And they think they might just have cracked the case.

Sharing their find on Twitter, one journalist wrote: "I found matt damon's finsta and honestly it shouldn't have taken an hour."

She then shared a screen grab of the account, which has the handle '@odamnmatt', writing: "lol here u go! let me know who else follows him."

Well, her followers did, and it's the who's who of Hollywood A-listers, including Thor himself Chris Hemsworth and Game of Thrones and Narcos star Pedro Pascal.

The revelation came out of Damon's recent interview with GQ, in which he admitted that while he's not a fan of social media, he does have a 'a very private Instagram account', which he uses to keep in touch with a small group of friends around the world.

"I have 76 followers and I've done 40 posts since 2013," he told the publication.

Discussing the topic of social media and how he feels about it, the 50-year-old said: "I just never saw the point, and I feel better and better about that decision as time goes on.

"I understand wanting to be connected to everybody on Facebook, but my life is so full and I'm connected, really, to everybody I need to be connected to.

"And then Twitter, I just reflexively didn't believe that my first knee-jerk response to something was necessarily something that should go all over the world."

So, while it's not confirmed that it's definitely Damon's account, the evidence seems to be stacking up, doesn't it?

This comes after the star revealed he had only recently stopped using the word f****t following a conversation with his family.

Speaking to the Times, the Good Will Hunting actor said he used the slur 'months ago' when telling a joke at the family dinner table and it didn't go down well with one of his children.

He and his wife have three daughters aged between 10 to 15 and Matt is a stepfather to his wife's 22-year-old daughter.

The joke didn't go down well with one of them and they weren't going to let their dad keep using a word that is offensive.

He told the Times: "The word that my daughter calls the 'f-slur for a homosexual' was commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application.

"I made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter. She left the table. I said, 'Come on, that's a joke! I say it in the movie Stuck on You!'"
