Uh-Oh. Matt Damon, 44, opened his mouth again.
Matt Damon has always stood up for best friend Ben Affleck, and recently said there is nobody more misunderstood than the latter in the American film industry. The star of The Martian keeps saying things that get him in trouble.
“He just got cast as this person that he wasn’t”, Damon said, recalling Affleck’s dreaded Bennifer 1.0 days.
“Ten years ago, the public image of him could not have been farther apart from who he actually is”, Matt said.
‘It was just really painful. The former nanny felt blindsided by Affleck and was not able to take his up.
Matt admitted that he struggled with the criticism of the actor – who he won the Oscar with for the screenplay of Goodwill Hunting alongside.
They have both also been married for 10 years. Despite the media coverage over the destruction of his marriage and cheating scandal, Ben’s been a fan and critic darling for years – cementing his elite status with Gone Girl and Argo.
Recently they were spotted out lunching with a few friends together and have been making frequent visits to the farmer’s market with their three little ones.
Wedded bliss: Damon and Barroso, pictured at the Martian premiere in Toronto on September 11, are parents to four daughters.
“It’s just like any piece of gossip…and it put us in a weird position of having to answer, you know what I mean?”
