Ben Affleck + Matt Damon
Best buds Ben Affleck and Matt Damon grew up together in Boston and catapulted themselves into the spotlight in 1997 with their Academy Award winning film ‘Good Will Hunting.’
Damon went on to earn critical acclaim and a wide fan base with subsequent roles in movies like ‘Saving Private Ryan,’ ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley,’ ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ and as Jason Bourne in the Bourne Trilogy. Affleck also made some good film choices with ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ ‘Armageddon’ and ‘Gone Baby Gone.’
Affleck’s duds — like ‘Gigli,’ ‘Daredevil’ and ‘Jersey Girl’ — almost torpedoed his career, but directing movies like this year’s ‘Argo’ have earned him the respect of his peers once again.
