Oscar-winning actor Matt Damon has revealed that he stopped using "homophobic slur" only after his daughter told him that it was not only wrong but also "dangerous". "The word that my daughter calls the `f-slur for a homosexual` was commonly used when I was a kid, with a different application," Damon said to Sunday Times of one of the four daughters whom he shares with wife Luciana, reports aceshowbiz.com.

"I made a joke, months ago, and got a treatise from my daughter. She left the table," he added. The "Jason Bourne" actor also shared: "I said, `Come on, that`s a joke! I say it in the movie `Stuck on You`.` She went to her room and wrote a very long, beautiful treatise on how that word is dangerous. I said, `I retire the f-slur`, I understood."
