Matt Damon Says He 'Can’t Imagine' Living Under the Same Scrutiny as Ben Affleck: ‘I’ve Been Really Lucky’

Matt Damon opened up about the scrutiny his best friend Ben Affleck faces in the public eye during an appearance on the Radio Times Podcast in an episode released on Aug. 6.

I can’t imagine living under that kind of scrutiny," Damon said on the Radio Times Podcast on Aug. 6 while promoting his new film with Ben’s sibling Casey Affleck, The Instigators. Damon's comments come amid Affleck's reported marital strain with Jennifer Lopez, which has been hitting the headlines over the last few months.
