Matt Damon struggling to land dream home
Matt Damon is struggling to land his dream home – because of his wife’s past as a bartender, it has been claimed.
The Bourne Identity star is said to have found a perfect multi-million-dollar apartment on New York’s posh Upper East side with views over the city’s Central Park.
But he is having problems getting past Manhattan’s notoriously snooty co-op boards, who rigorously vet potential buyers before they move in.
And sources claim that the actor’s 33-year-old wife Luciana Barroso – who used to work tending bars in her native Miami before becoming an interior decorator – could be to blame.
A property insider told a US newspaper: “They don’t have a prayer.”
Potential buyers of co-op apartments must submit their earnings and detailed financial information to a board made up of other apartment owners.
A US newspaper reports: “People in the entertainment industry are a hard-enough sell. Damon’s wife – who once worked as a bartender… is a deal-breaker, say sources.”
Damon, 38, already owns an apartment in downtown Manhattan, as well as properties in Miami, Florida, and Los Angeles, California.
