Actor Matt Damon’s father Kent Damon has died after a long cancer battle. He was 74.

The actor’s father, a former stockbroker, passed away on December 14, eonline.com reported on Saturday.

In 2011, Matt had revealed that his father was battling multiple myeloma, a blood cancer that affects the plasma cells in bone marrow.

Matt last opened up about his father’s health in an interview earlier this month.

“It’s been a slow unfolding; my dad’s sick, so that’s been a process we are going through,” he said.

“We’ll take any prayers you got, so throw them up there.”
