Matt Damon admitted he 'can't imagine' living with the 'scrutiny' Ben Affleck faces. The 'Instigators' star and Affleck have had 'parallel careers.'
Matt Damon is happy to be labeled 'boring.' Damon, 53, noted he's 'really lucky' to have avoided 'scrutiny,' unlike his friend and fellow actor, Ben Affleck. 'I've been really lucky in that way… especially when I look at Casey 's brother, Ben,' he said during an appearance on the Radio Times Podcast. 'I can’t imagine living under that kind of scrutiny.
As Damon rose to fame, he used work to essentially hide from the paparazzi and scandal that dominated tabloids at the time. He eventually met his wife, Luciana Barroso, who did not work in the entertainment business. 'That really helped me because all of that magazine culture that was so huge — and all that stuff 25 years ago — kind of ignored me because it wasn't that exciting of a story, right? Like a guy who's married, it's so boring.
Meanwhile, Affleck seemed to never be able to get away from the paparazzi. There was an interest in the actor's relationship and ended engagement to Jennifer Lopez. There was also interest in Affleck's marriage and subsequent divorce from Jennifer Garner. Affleck made headlines again after he and Lopez rekindled their relationship in 2021 and married the following year. However, there seems to be trouble in paradise, landing the couple back in the spotlight.
While it is unclear what caused the reported rift between the couple, it seems they often butt heads over parenting style. 'They've had fights about differences of opinions on raising their kids,' a source told Fox News Digital. 'They have very different parenting styles.' CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
