Celeb mom crush: Matt Damon's proud mama

This week we're crushing on Matt Damon's mom, Nancy Carlsson Paige. Nancy became a celebrity in her own right when she served as her swoon-worthy son's date to the Academy Awards back in his Good Will Hunting days. Not only did Nancy's procreative genius grace the world with a guy who looks a-ma-zing in a tight T-shirt, but she also raised a son who not only defends his mama, but her entire profession (teaching). Any guy who respects his mom as much as Matt obviously does was clearly the recipient of some good mothering -- and we like them apples just fine.

Matt Damon speaks up for his mom's profession, teaching.

(Warning: Nancy maybe should have washed his mouth out with soap a bit more often, though, because Matt does use a naughty word in the video.)
