Looking back on his decades long career alongside best friend Ben Affleck before Good Will Hunting launched them to stardom, Damon said, "It’s just been an incredible journey. Some of the movies didn’t work, but ideally, in another 10 years, I’d like to just keep doing things that I can feel really proud of."
