Matt Damon returns to Australia amid rumours of buying a house in Byron Bay

Matt Damon has returned to Australia for the second time this year, fuelling rumours he is considering purchasing property in Byron Bay. 

The Jason Bourne star was photographed with a fan while out in Lennox Head, located near Byron Bay, on Friday morning, the Courier Mail reported.

Meanwhile on Thursday Matt’s wife Luciana Barroso was spotted shopping at a Byron Bay boutique with Chris Hemsworth’s wife and close friend Elsa Pataky.

Luciana and Elsa were photographed at accessory store Buffalo Girl, with the shop owner suggesting the women were buying items for Bluesfest Byron Bay.  

‘These gorgeous girls popped in today to pick up their beautiful custom made bags, ready to rock at @bluesfestbyronbay always lovely to catch up,’ she captioned the post.

Matt and Luciana’s return to Byron Bay comes barely two months after they rang in the new year down under with Chris and Elsa in the coastal town.

The high profile Hollywood couples were also joined by Chris’ brother Liam Hemsworth and fiancee Miley Cyrus.  

Matt and his family also visited Byron Bay for a short trip mid-last year. 

Despite the Jason Bourne star’s publicist denying rumours he is considering purchasing a Byron Bay holiday home, Matt’s frequent visits to the area have done little to quell speculation.

Matt and Chris have been close friends for years, with the Thor star praising his BFF during a GQ interview in 2014.

‘We became friends around the time I started to work, and I’ve really benefited from watching how he handles himself,’ he said.

‘Matt’s just a normal guy who has the movie-star thing figured out.’
