Matt and Lucy Damon had a meet-cute worthy of a Hollywood rom-com as they celebrate 17 years of marriage
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: It’s Matt and Lucy Damon day today as the pair celebrates 17 years of togetherness on December 9. The very-much-in-love couple tied the knot in 2005 after meeting each other in the most unlikely way. It has been said that they first saw each other in a bar in Miami while the actor was working on ‘Stuck on You’.
Recalling their first meeting, Lucy, whose full name is Luciana Barroso, shared as reported by Cosmopolitan, “I was working as a bartender in South Beach (Miami) and he was shooting a movie there and the crew ended up in the bar one Saturday night. Matt’s story is that he saw me across the room and there was a light on me. And I’m like, ‘Yeah, it was a nightclub— there were lights everywhere!’

“But he had started getting recognized and asked for pictures and autographs, and then it got kind of aggressive because people are drinking and stuff, and so he came and hid behind my bar…[wanting to] just hang out back there and have a drink. He says, ‘Oh, I saw you and I really wanted to talk to you.’”
