Matt has spent a lot of time periodically holidaying in the area with his wife and children over the past few years, and fits in well with the locals.
Last year, Matt reportedly rented out the $4 million ($3.07m USD) property directly next door to Chris Hemsworth’s property to use as his home base during his visit.
In 2014, Chris, 37, his stunning wife Elsa, 44, and their children India-Rose, 8, Tristan, and Sasha, 6, became one of the first working Hollywood families to permanently relocate to Australia.

Matt’s purchase follows rumours in 2018 that he was preparing to relocate with his family to Australia.
Page Six claimed his move Down Under would ‘not impact his work’ as he was prepared to ‘travel to wherever his projects are shooting’.
However, a representative denied these claims at the time.
