Matt Damon was not afraid to get his hands dirty and even got stuck in the mud during a trip to the Caribbean nation of Haiti, where he helped distribute food in a town devastated by Hurricane Ike, the Associated Press reports.

Damon arrived this weekend with Haitian-born singer Wyclef Jean to hand out rice, beans and cooking oil in Cabaret, a town where 60 people died in flash floods when Ike hit the area last week.

Things got rough for the stars when their truck carrying 300 bags of food ran into a ditch, forcing the rest of the caravan to stop. But they kept their cool as they continued their mission in the disaster region, the AP said.

The celebrities later walked to a nearby church where about 600 people were sheltered, kneeling down to talk to an emaciated, elderly man lying on the muddy floor before serving food.

Damon and Jean encouraged more people to help the United Nations raise more than $100 million for an estimated 800,000 Haitians in need of aid after four devastating tropical storms and hurricanes since mid-August.

Less than one month after the birth of his second daughter, proud new pop Matt Damon spoke to OK! about how fatherhood has changed his life.

“It probably influences me in ways i’m not even aware of,” the actor said at the OneXOne benefit gala at the Toronto International Film Festival. “I think certainly once you have kids it’s hard not to see your child in every other child that you meet. And when you see the way a lot of children live in the world it makes you very angry as a parent.”

So what does the two-time dad enjoy most about having kids? “Well that’s a tough question because there’s a lot to love about it,” he explained to OK!. “It’s probably the indescribable way that a new child opens up your heart. It sounds kinda corny but it’s true.”

Meanwhile, Matt told OK! about a milestone in the new life of baby daughter Gia, who was born on Aug. 20. “She smiles now… mostly when she goes to the bathroom. That’s natural.”

Matt and wife Luciana Barroso are also parents to 2-year-old daughter Isabella and Alexia, Luciana’s daughter from a previous marriage. The couple was married in a civil ceremony in NYC on Dec. 9, 2005.

It’s been a week since the birth of his new daughter Gia and what is Matt Damon doing when he’s not on diaper duty?

He’s working his thumbs to the bone to keep his old buddy Ben Affleck up to date on all of the details.

“I’ve kind of been texting him back and forth, and he’s doing great and [wife] Lucy is doing great,” Affleck, 36, told People on Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention.

Affleck is in Denver supporting a variety of political and charitable causes, including playing poker on Tuesday with the likes of Sarah Silverman – on behalf of paralyzed veterans.

Still, Affleck’s mind was not far from his old Cambridge pal, who is fast becoming odd man out in his Miami home, what with the addition of little Gia to his strictly female brood of wife Luciana and their daughters Isabella, 2, and Alexia, 10.

Not that Damon – People’s Sexiest Man Alive – has any problem with that.

“Anybody who has a child is excited, I think, no matter what the gender is. They are thrilled,” says Affleck. “The thing that people really want, when you get down to it, is a healthy child.”

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana had a baby girl named Gia Zavala, on Wednesday, his rep confirmed to Usmagazine.com.

“Everyone is great,” Damon’s rep tells Us. “She’s healthy and beautiful.”

Gia joins Isabella, 2, and Damon’s stepdaughter, Alexia, 10.

“I’m so outnumbered down here, it’s crazy,” Damon has joked of his female-dominated, Miami household.

In July, Damon said they hadn’t settled on a baby name.

“We decided to wait till she’s born, and then we’re going to get a look at her, and we’ll probably keep debating it,” he told USA Today.

Damon and Luciana, who met in 2003, were married Dec. 9, 2006 in a ceremony performed by a justice of the peace in New York City, Us Weekly first reported.

It was on his 2006, six-day “listening and learning trip” to Zambia with his sculptor-artist brother Kyle that caused Matt Damon to see “the world water crisis is one of the most important public health issues of our time,” People’s Sexiest Man Alive tells Conde Nast Traveler for its September issue.

Establishing the H2O Africa Foundation, Damon, 37, hopes the work he’s done will now inspire others to do the same. “I think many of our problems would be solved if people had thick passports,” he says. “There’s just no substitute for actually going and seeing things.”

When you’re a celebrity, he observes, “you start to feel a level of responsibility to direct attention to things that actually matter more than to silly things like who you’re dating.”

Case in point: “The world water crisis is one of the most important public health issues of our time. Clean water can help put people on the first run of the development ladder.”

Looking back on that 2006 trip, Kyle Damon tells CNTraveler the brothers were determined to downplay his screen-star sibling’s notoriety – and be keenly observant of their surroundings.

One thing they couldn’t overcome, however, was the region’s insect infestation. “We were outed as complete wusses” in the bug department, according to Kyle Damon.

Screaming out for their bodyguards, “it was hard to view ourselves as tough guys, cowering under the net and clutching our malaria meds,” he says.
