While suffering children around the world pulls at everyone's heart strings, Matt Damon believes that by having a family, the desire to protect these innocent kids grows even stronger. At the OneXOne benefit event in Toronto, Matt shared that being a father to his three girls has made the 37-year-old actor "angry" when he bears witness to "the way a lot of children live in the world" -- an issue he became passionate about after having children himself. "I think certainly once you have kids, it's hard not to see your child in every other child you meet," said Matt.

Matt, who became a father again when he welcomed daughter Gia Zavala on August 20th, is enjoying his time with his kids, saying -- while "it sounds kinda corny" -- there is so much to love about fatherhood. Calling the arrival of Gia "the most indescribable way that a new child opens up your heart," Matt shares that his baby girl is a happy, smiling baby -- when she needs a diaper change! He jokingly explains,

"She smiles now...mostly when she goes to the bathroom. That's natural."

In addition to Gia, Matt and his wife Luciana are also parents to Isabella, 2, and Alexia, 10, Luciana's child from her previous marriage.
