Zooming in live from the TAB! Byron Bay pub stays open especially for Matt Damon so he can be interviewed on American TV about his friend Ben Affleck’s reunion with Jennifer Lopez

Hollywood heavyweight Matt Damon has been in Australia with his family since January this year, to film the latest Thor Installment. 

And it seems that the Bourne Identity star, 50, is well and truly settling in like a local. 

On Tuesday, the A-lister hilariously did a live cross on the American program, the Today Show, live from a TAB.

Matt is believed to have done the live cross from a TAB in Byron Bay, where he has been based in recent months. 

He hilariously said during the interview: ‘I’m in Australia, I’m having a beer. The people at the local club were nice enough to leave it open just so that I could do this (interview).’

He added: ‘They’ve got the best internet connection in this neighbourhood where I am.’
