In a statement provided Monday (Aug 2) to the Los Angeles Times, the Oscar-winning actor clarified that he has “never called anyone” an anti-gay term, despite previously admitting — unprovoked — to the Sunday Times that he stopped using “the f-slur for a homosexual” only months ago at his daughter’s behest.

“I have never called anyone ‘f—' in my personal life and this conversation with my daughter was not a personal awakening,” Damon said in his statement.
