We love us some Matt Damon, don't you?

Not only is the hunky star involved with the community and a friend to Mother Nature, he's also a family man and a very talented actor.

E! News caught up with him to talk about his latest movie Contagion with Gwyneth Paltrow and to discuss that diss he got by President Barack Obama.

Oh, you don't remember?

During the White House Correspondents' Dinner, the president made a comeback at Damon who had given Obama a poor review in an interview by saying, "Matt Damon said he was disappointed in my performance. Well, Matt, I just saw The Adjustment Bureau so...right back at ya, buddy!"

Boom!

But there are no hard feelings. Damon tells us that he thought the joke was really funny (whether Obama wrote it himself or not) and had a good delivery.

And although the actor has a beautiful wife and four kids at home, he had to admit that being married to Gwyneth onscreen was fantastic.

"Chris Martin let me share her for a week," he tells us, right before calling Paltrow an "amazing" actress. So sweet!

What else? OMG there's so much more! Watch the clip to hear more about Obama, Paltrow, shaving his head and how he manages to have five (!) films coming out this year alone. Plus, which does he consider to be a bigger honor, making People's Most Beautiful list or Time's 100 Most Influential?
