London, Aug 31 (IANS) Matt Damon’s wife calls him Red Alert, but the actor couldn’t care less about the nickname and candidly says that he is ‘overprotective’ about his daughters.

‘I’m probably more protective than I’ve ever been now that I have children. My wife’s nickname for me is Red Alert – I sometimes just check to see if the kids are breathing,’ thesun.co.uk quoted Damon as saying.

The ‘Bourne’ trilogy star admits he remains quite paranoid about his girls – Isabella, 5, Gia, 3, and 10-month-old Stella – as well as his wife Luciana’s daughter Alexis from her previous marriage.

‘But I think there’s a tendency to be a little bit overprotective without trying to be a ‘helicopter parent’. I remember after the last big LA earthquake I put the flashlight by my bed for like two weeks,’ said Damon.
