Matt ‘thrilled’ for Ben’s movie awards triumphs
Ben Affleck is storming through the Hollywood awards season with his movie Argo, and no one could be happier than his old friend Matt Damon. Matt said: “I’m just thrilled for him. I’m really happy. I’m not at all surprised, because I’ve known him for so long and I know how talented he is. It was tough to watch him get kicked in the teeth for all those years because the perception of him was so not who he actually was. I always felt a knee-jerk need to defend him. It was just upsetting. It was upsetting for a lot of his friends because he’s the smartest, funnest, nicest, kindest, incredibly talented guy. And the perception of him was the opposite. So that was tough. It’s taken him a long time. It wasn’t one thing that got him out of the penalty box. He had to dig. He did a lot of really good work over a long amount of time. The last movie he did (The Town) was great. And the movie before that (Gone Baby Gone) was great, too. Finally people now are ready to go, ‘Wow, he’s at the very top of the food chain.’”
