Matt Damon and Ben Affleck recently showcased their long-standing creative partnership in the 2022 film Air, which detailed Nike’s efforts to sign Michael Jordan. In an interview with People magazine, Damon shared that his relationship with Affleck is the most important thing to him, and admitted that his career would be much more difficult without his friend’s support.
He explained that having someone to confide in over the past 25 years has been crucial in dealing with the unusual aspects of fame. It’s not surprising, then, that when Affleck was asked to name his three favorite movies in 2021, he included their 1997 hit Good Will Hunting.
He completed his top three with the films he directed, Gone Baby Gone and The Town. Though those films represent important achievements, Affleck continues to expand his work as a filmmaker and actor, frequently using his production company, Artists Equity, to create stories focused on complicated relationships and human experiences.
