Matt Damon Very Smartly Protects His Bald Head From Sun Damage

Last week we saw new photos of actor Matt Damon with a totally shaved bald head on the set of his new film Elysium. Today we learn that Matt was in attendance at an outdoor event in Washington DC and, due to the blistering sunlight beating down, he had to slather sunblock all over his pale white head. It is very easy to get sunburnt in the midday sun so it was very, very smart of Matt so coat his head with as much sunblock as possible.

It looks like Matt Damon did not want to be Good Will Burning when he attended a political rally today. The movie star applied plenty of suntan lotion to his bald head ahead of the Save Our Schools event in Washington DC. Matt cares about the issue deeply as he is a father of four young children, one a stepchild from his wife Luciana’s previous relationship. The handsome actor is currently sporting the close-shaved look for his role in upcoming science fiction action film Elysium. Its plot is being kept strictly secret, but it is a sequel to writer-director Neill Blomkamp’s 2009 hit District 9, and will also star Jodie Foster. And he made sure his pasty head would not get baked in the summer sunshine by applying layers of suntan spray to his shiny dome.

I’m lucky that my Mexicanness gives me some bit of protection from sunburn because I hate wearing any lotions, creams, etc. I would HATE to have to spread my head daily with sunblock. Ugh. But poor, whitey Matt is gonna have to ensure he doesn’t burn his head off. At least he’s being smart about it. Good for him :D
