Actors Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have been good friends for a very long time. Their friendship goes back to their childhood days when they grew up together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. They met in school and bonded over their shared passion for acting and filmmaking. So far, the two have starred in 9 movies together.
Despite being great friends, Ben Affleck hates one thing about Matt Damon. In his latest interview, Affleck explained that Damon was the worst roommate of all time because he never paid the bills on time and lived around piles of garbage.
Ben Affleck revealed that Matt Damon never paid the bills on time
Actor Ben Affleck recently appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden and talked about his good friend, actor Matt Damon. He explained how he never paid any of the bills on time,
“Matt’s never paid a bill to this day, that I know of. We’re like, ‘Why are the lights not working?’ and that’s because the utility company needs money to continue to fund our electricity.”
Although Matt Damon is his best friend, Affleck explained that he wouldn’t want anyone to live with him.
Matt Damon never cleaned the house
Affleck further talked about an experiment he conducted with his brother, Casey Affleck, to check if Matt Damon would clean the house. They basically stopped cleaning the house and wanted to check how long would it take for Damon to actually notice how dirty the place is. Affleck said,
“We’re just gonna wait and see how long he will go before he actually gets up and goes, ‘God, I’m covered in garbage.’ Matt’s there in his shorts and his T-shirt playing the ’92 Sega hockey game in the middle of what was the living room, just surrounded by concentric circles of garbage. Pizza boxes … I look down at this sushi thing that was a week and a half old and there’s maggots.”
Matt Damon just ignored the garbage and continued to live like he used to. Affleck further said, “God bless his wife, Lucy. There’s a place for you in heaven.” Matt Damon got married to Luciana Barroso in 2005.
