Matt Damon’s father Kent dies at 74 after long cancer battle

Matt Damon’s father, Kent, died on Dec. 14 after a long battle with cancer, the actor’s publicist confirmed to the Daily News on Saturday.

He was 74.

Kent Damon had been suffering from multiple myeloma — a rare blood cancer — which had only become worse in recent months.

The “Good Will Hunting” star had asked for prayers for his father while promoting his upcoming film “Downsizing” just days before his dad’s death.

"It's been a slow unfolding, my dad's sick, so that's been a process we're going through," he told "Extra" on Dec. 11. "We'll take any prayers you got, so throw 'em up there."

Matt Damon had reportedly been traveling between his press tours to Boston to visit his father during his illness.

In 2011, the actor had revealed his father was in remission for the cancer and the father-son duo attending a fund-raiser for Massachusetts General Hospital's Cancer Care Center that same year and hosted a private fund-raiser to benefit the Center for Cancer Immunology in 2016.

"We've lost some close personal friends to cancer in recent years, but I never thought it would happen to my dad, the marathon runner," Damon said. "It sucked."

In many of the interviews, he was slammed for his inappropriate comments about the #MeToo movement and sexual harassment in Hollywood.
