He has been spending an increasing amount of time in Europe.

Matt sported a navy quilted jacket and skinny jeans and rested circular shades on his head.
He made sure to prioritise safety with a white face mask as he exited the local shop and crossed the road.
After the brief shopping trip, it is believed Matt and his girlfriend, 44, travelled to Kenya as she shared a series of airport snaps on Friday morning.

The couple were last pictured at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain in September to promote his new film The Great Fellove, which he has directed.
Matt has followed in the footsteps of Clint Eastwood and Marlon Brando by transitioning from acting into directing with the documentary film following the story of Cuban scat musician, Francisco Fellove.
It is Matt’s second feature as a director following his debut 17 years ago with the film City Of Ghosts.
A big fan of Francisco’s music, Matt and his pal Joey Altruda jetted off to Mexico City in the late ’90s to meet the singer and document the recording of his final album, Fellove & Joey

The musician passed away in 2013, so Matt decided to use his catalogue of old recordings to flesh out a documentary about him and unpack his influence on the Cuban and Mexican music scene.
He revealed to Deadline what it was like working with Francisco: ‘He was an amazing guy, I loved his music. Back in 1999 [when they went to make the record] he didn’t know who I was, he thought I was a cable wrangler.
‘I love Cuban music and I was interested in the story of it, the migration of Cubans who left for Mexico [as Fellove did], it was a very interesting time and place.
‘But Fellove was the story, his was the most poignant story for me. He’s an everyman. His success was marginal, only in performance does he live up to ‘the great’, he was a humble guy who came from poor roots. He was a real artist.’
