“I have my Homey D. Clown suit and my Men on Films hats all in a little man cave,” the comedian/actor, 64, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue. “My house is my house so all the stuff’s in there. And if I need to stroke my ego, I’ll look at it.”

So has he put it on since the show wrapped in 1994? “I haven’t put on the suit,” he admits. “But I would if they want to make a movie.”

Damons, who stars alongside his son,Damon Jr., in the new CBS seriesPoppa’s House, chatted with the magazine for One Last Thing:
