Matt Damon happy in female household

Matt Damon doesn't regret not having a son.

The 40-year-old actor - who raises 12-year-old stepdaughter Alexia and daughters Isabella, four, Gia, two, and four-month-old Stella with wife Luciana - feels he has learned a lot from life by living in an all-female household.

He said: "Do I still hope to have a boy? No. I still hope to have a marriage.

"It's a whole different energy being surrounded by women. I am getting a new perspective on the world that I'd have missed if I had boys."

Despite his attitude, the 'Adjustment Bureau' star admits his children find it easy to manipulate him into giving them what they want.

He recalled to Britain's Glamour magazine: "When Isabella was 18 months, she was trying to get a treat out of me. I said no and she asked me again so I caved in.

"Then my wife came into the room. Isabella looked up at her mother, shyly smiled and put her head down. I knew that at 18 months old, this creature had control over me.

"Men don't have a chance. I feel we're such different species."
