Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What am I, you?
You are entirely the "what, have you no common sense? look here!" person. Don't even front. I can get witnesses.

Unrelated to everything preceding, Matt Damon sure has worn a lot of different faces over the years. He's got a lot of different personas under his belt for a guy I wouldn't call properly middle-aged yet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been having the debate with my family recently about when middle age starts. I guess we came down on 45, but I could still make an argument for 40. I've sort of decided we should reclaim "middle aged."

Our wings are not tired.
I think it starts about 5 years older than whatever my current age is at any given time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I used to say that, "Middle age is always ten years older than you are."
I'm 47 now, so that doesn't work as well anymore.
x-posty!
(But I first said this at the first f2f.)

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
No one by either of those names!
Thanks, Jesse!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think it starts about 5 years older than whatever my current age is at any given time.
My brother just turned 45 and I got him a funny book entitled something like Old Age Is 15 Years Older Than You Are Now in addition to his gift. As a pick-me-up. Or pick-him-up. Or to snark. Definitely one of those.

I remember turning 30 and someone told me I was "now middle-aged" and I wanted to sock him in the face. I didn't though. Because that's no way to treat the elderly (that's what I told him).

Matt Damon, subjectively, is way younger than George Clooney, who is on the young side, subjectively, of middle-aged. At 42 and 51, that sentence has almost all true words.
