Matt Damon Details Friendship With Ben, Casey Affleck: ‘Underlying Understanding of Who We Are’


Matt Damon practically grew up with old neighbors Ben and Casey Affleck and the actor opened up about the ‘understanding’ of their strong friendships.

“Part of being an actor and putting yourself in those positions and getting rejected constantly, knowing that somebody else is living that same life and making those same sacrifices, that shared sense of experience, that’s why we would clump up and hang out together and talk about it,” Matt admitted. GettyThe pair’s acceptance speech at the prestigious award show is still a fan favorite as the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed boys lit up the venue with their excitement. When their names were called, Matt and Ben kissed their dates, mothers Nancy Carlsson-Paige and Christopher Anne “Chris” Boldt, before rushing to the stage.
