It was reported on Thursday that Matt Damon would be moving his family to Australia because he disagrees with President Donald Trump's policies, days after news broke that he had purchased a home in the coastal town of Byron Bay.

Those reports are both false.

The actor's publicist denied both claims, telling DailyMail.com: 'Matt has visited Australia several times recently, but he has not bought a house there nor is he moving there.'

Taking a dip: He was said to be moving in next to his friend and fellow actor Chris Hemsworth (Damon and his wife on vacation with Hemsworth in 2012)

It was reported earlier this month by The Sunday Telegraph that Damon had purchased a property next to his good friend Chris Hemsworth.

Damon and Hemsworth appeared alongside one another in the most recent Thor film, in which Damon had a cameo.

The actor was also spotted visiting Hemsworth, his model wife Elsa Pataky and their children with his own family multiple times last years.

That report then led to a claim that the move was motivated by Damon's disdain for President Trump's policies.

'Matt’s saying the move with not impact his work – as he will travel to wherever his projects are shooting,' a source told Page Six.

'He’s also telling friends he wants to have a safe place to raise his kids.'

The Wall Street Journal revealed back in September that Damon had entered into contract for the penthouse apartment at The Standish.

That luxury building is located in the tony Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, whose residents include Mary Louise Parker, Michael Shannon, Lena Dunham, Paul Giamatti and artist Matthew Barney.

It is not known how much Damon offered for the apartment, but the asking price for the six-bedroom pad was $16.665million.

If the final sale price is anything close to that it will be a new record for Brooklyn, besting the previous high of $15.5million that was paid for a townhouse in 2015 which is located just a few blocks away in the borough's Cobble Hill neighborhood.

The apartment building's website promises residents the finest in modern appliances and luxuries throughout their multimillion-dollar dwellings.

'Kitchen cabinetry in a refined Shaker-style aesthetic' and 'enhanced with premium Bertazzoni-Italia and Bosch appliances and natural brass Fantini fixtures' according to the listing for available apartments.

'Bathrooms feature rain showers, travertine and mosaic accents, and Fantini fixtures in natural brass' reads the site.

'Undermount sinks and freestanding tubs in select residences add an extra element of simple, elegant practicality.'

Politics: Damon's publicist issued a statement denying the claims after a report claimed that the actor was moving to the town of Byron Bay because he 'disagrees with Trump's policies' according to Page Six (Damon and Bill Clinton above in 2009)

The apartment building is also located right on the Brooklyn Heights promenade, offering views of the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan, Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges, lower Manhattan and Freedom Tower.

The building got its name due to the fact that it was the former site of the Standish Arms Hotel.

It was then owned by the Jehovah's Witnesses for 26 years, who snapped up a good deal of real estate in the neighborhood before selling most of it off over the past decade.

There is also one other perk too in that it is just a few blocks from the prestigious St. Ann's school, where Damon can enroll his three youngest daughters: Isabella, Gia, and Stella.

The building also has a four-bedroom apartment available for just over $7million and two one bedrooms which are a relative steal at a little over $1million each.
