Hollywood star Matt Damon hopes to buy a lighthouse on the west coast of Ireland

Matt Damon has revealed his hopes to purchase a lighthouse on the west coast of Ireland.

The famed Hollywood actor fell in love with Ireland’s rugged west coast after he travelled from Cork to Galway two years ago with his family.

Now, the 46-year-old hopes to own a piece of the Wild Atlantic Way, and live out his dream as a lighthouse keeper.

“How awesome would that be? Watching the Atlantic crashing over the Irish cliffs, the rain coming down, the grey skies. I love the weather,” he told the Irish Sun.

“That whole geographical area, from Cork to Kerry, Galway, that environment is like nowhere, it’s good for the health. All that air.

“I just have this image, this dream of sitting atop of the lighthouse, looking out to sea, and how beautiful and peaceful that must be. I don’t know if you can buy those, wouldn’t they be State-owned? If you could, I’d do it.

“Well I’d run it past my wife first, then I’d do it,” he laughed.

During the same visit with his wife Luciana Barroso and their daughters Isabella, 10, Gia, 8, and Stella, 6 – Matt attended a U2 concert in Dublin’s 3Arena, and got a shoutout from Bono on stage, which he now claims as one of the greatest moments of his life.

“Aside from my wedding day and the birth of my children, that may be the best moment ever. I thought, ‘Holy s***, is this actually happening?” he added.
