Matt Damon has recently admitted that Peter Jackson’s Beatles docuseries, Get Back, convinced him to make more movies with Ben Affleck.
Both stars reportedly reunited in 2021 for the movie, The Last Duel and after that they continued to collaborate for two more movies, first was Air in 2023 and the upcoming movie, The Rip which will premiere on Netflix in January 2026.
For the unversed, they have been friends for years and first teamed up together on Good Will Hunting, which earned them the Oscar award for Best Screenplay.
In a new interview with GQ magazine, Matt revealed he wanted to continue working with Ben as long as possible,
“Who cares if we oversaturate the marketplace with movies, we’re both in?” said the Oppenheimer actor.
Matt told the outlet, “We’re crazy if we don’t take advantage of the fact that we are both still here and able to do this.”
The Bourne Identity actor explained that his goal is “always to just make movies” that he and Ben think they will like.
In the same interview, the Armageddon actor also shared his thoughts on working with Matt.
“Every time I act with Matt is a humbling experience because I learn to appreciate further just how good an actor he is,” stated Ben.
While discussing Matt’s acting skills, the Gone Girl actor mentioned, “When you know someone as long as I’ve known Matt, you develop a pretty good sense of what is real and what isn’t and it’s almost impossible to catch Matt acting.”
“He is really a master of realism and it’s something I deeply admire about him. One of many things,” gushed Ben about Matt.
