Matt Damon hits the beach in Malibu to go over some script pages with his wife Luciana Barroso

He was seen surfing the faves and frolicking in the ocean with his wife earlier this week.

But on Friday, Matt Damon had a decidedly tamer beach outing, when he decided to take advantage of the warm summer weather in Malibu, California to work outdoors while reclining on the sand with his wife Luciana Barroso.

Damon, 49, sat against a rocky area on the beach, with a stack of papers that looked like a movie script in hand.

The Bourne Supremacy star was in a dark t-shirt and striped shorts, and he had a pair of sunglasses hooked into his collar.

His buff physique was apparent under his tee.  

Matt passed pages back and forth with Luciana, 44, who looked concentrated on what she was reading.

Barroso, who shares three daughters with the Oscar winner, wore what looked to be a black and white snakeskin-style beach dress over a swimsuit.

She kept her sunshades on, and had her dark brown hair down and a hair tie around her wrist. 

Matt, an actor, producer and screenwriter, is currently involved in at least five projects, so the script he was reading could have been any one of those – or something else entirely.

As a producer, Damon is working on the dramatic TV movie Thirst, about the global water crisis, as well as courtroom drama Witness for the Prosecution and another series, titled Green Beret’s Guide to Surviving the Apocalypse.

Witness for the Prosecution, based on a novel by Agatha Christie, is being directed by and will star Matt’s longtime best friend and professional partner, Ben Affleck.

Damon and Affleck – who won twin screenwriting Oscars for the brilliant 1997 film Good Will Hunting, are also involved in a film called The Last Duel, which is currently filming after a delay.

That period film, directed by Ridley Scott, is Matt and Ben’s first screenwriting team-up since Good Will Hunting, and they worked with Can You Ever Forgive Me’s Nicole Holofcener.

The Last Duel is about the last sanctioned duel in France, in which a knight battled his friend after accusing him of raping his wife.

The actors originally intended to play the two knights, but Affleck switched to a smaller supporting role, while Adam Driver replaced him.

And also on the acting front for Damon is Stillwater, opposite Zombieland’s Abigail Breslin, following a father who travels from Oklahoma to France to help his daughter who has been arrested for murder.
