Spending March 2020 in lockdown in Dalkey with his family, the Hollywood star was quickly adopted by the village in a matter of days and became a regular at coffee and book shops around the area.
Damon temporarily relocated to the tiny seaside village alongside his wife and daughters while filming the thriller movie The Last Duel in 2020.
However, as global travel restrictions were put in place due to the pandemic, the actor was forced to stay in Ireland for longer than expected.
Images of Damon carrying his togs down the Vico in a SuperValu bag firmly cemented him as the ultimate adopted Irishman so it s no surprise that locals are excited so see him make a return.
