Matt Damon revealed in a new GQ magazine cover story that his wife, Luciana, suffered a brain aneurysm in early 2024 and went into surgery just one week before the 96th Academy Awards, where the Damon-starring “Oppenheimer” swept the night with Oscars for best picture, director (Christopher Nolan), actor (Cillian Murphy), supporting actor (Robert Downey Jr.) and more. The couple skipped the ceremony as a result but did hit the town for an after party, mainly because Damon’s wife felt guilty about skipping the Oscars years prior when “The Departed” won best picture and more.
