The Jason Bourne actor told the Today Show in the US that he canโ€™t wait to take a year off because heโ€™s been so busy.

โ€œI took a bunch of roles in a row. Iโ€™ve done four straight movies in a row and I have one more to go,โ€ he said.

โ€œTheyโ€™re really good sports. Theyโ€™re great travellers,โ€ Damon said. โ€œBut Iโ€™m excited to finish this year of work and take a year off and be at their behest for once.โ€

Heโ€™s also looking forward to taking a break from the strenuous workouts required for the Bourne movies.

โ€œI mean, Iโ€™m 45. I started doing these, I was 29 โ€” all that stuff came a lot easier,โ€ said Damon. โ€œIโ€™m a better actor now than when I was 29, so that part was a little easier.โ€
