Matt Damon glad his life is more 'boring' than Ben Affleck's
The Oppenheimer actor drew a contrast between his and Ben's life trajectories, saying he "can't imagine" a life like his former co-writer's. Matt, 53, and Ben, 51, won an Oscar for writing and co-starring in their 1997 movie Good Will Hunting. Matt explained in a joint interview with Ben's brother Casey Affleck for the Radio Times podcast, "25 years ago, the gossip magazine culture was huge but they ignored me. I wasn't an exciting story; the guy who's married, it's boring! Scandal and sex, that's what people would read magazines for. I've been really lucky."
