Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on "Air"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 бер 2023
- Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were kids when they met in Cambridge, Massachusetts; they were Hollywood rookies when they won an Oscar for their screenplay for "Good Will Hunting." And now, in their joint production company's first feature, they're back together on screen in "Air," the based-on-true-events story of how Nike created a basketball shoe around a talented but untried NBA rookie, Michael Jordan. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with Affleck and Damon about their decades-long friendship, and about collaborating on a story of how heaven and earth were moved to sell a sneaker.

“If you love the people at work…you probably have a pretty good life.” Spot on by Ben!
notice Matt doesn't say much...is Ben gaslighting? Was he a huge pain in the ....with his drinking all these years?
I noticed too. I think he's gotten in trouble with what he's said recently but he's usually very verbose.
@@lynnhubbard844 Matt has always generally been the quiet and introverted one. UA-cam commenters become body language experts so fast😂😂
Sounds a lot like the different large UA-camrs we have today. From MKBHd, to LinusTechTips, to Wong Fu Productions. Even, MrBeast.
ok
Creating a production company together that aims to address the disparity in artist compensation is to be commended. Wishing these guys continued success!
Predictably PC and sad, actually.
@case barreoltt The only sad thing is this incredibly stupid comment.
@@casebarreoltt5990 yeah so sad that they help underpaid artists get what they are worth lmao
@@ashtonlikes9443 nah it's yet another virtue signal. These guys are washed up and begging for relevancy.
@@casebarreoltt5990 all actors are begging for relevancy, at least these guys are doing something that also helps others
Don’t usually see Ben so animated. The movie looks good. Definitely plan to go see it. These guys have not only survived Hollywood, but flourished. Kudos
Yep, Ben is boozed up or something.
He’s happy. When he was younger his interviews were always animated. He went through this leading man phase after and got kinda sad. But I’m glad he’s in a good place , with his children, his ex wife, his new wife, his understanding of the industry and alcohol.
he seems bipolar
Ben is most likely a person that has deep spiritual battles (which is mostly a Blessing), and also, an introvert for the most part. So, when introverts express themselves when accompanied by a good solid friend or loved one, he is more safe and comfortable and can do so with more confidence than usual, and that can look "offish" or awkward...just my 2 cents..lol
He is usually like this when around his husband Matt Damon
I LOOOOVE the idea of actors equity. It's time the team that make movies happen see royalties and what they deserve to.
"Actors equity." What about human equity? These people are pushing a Nike propaganda film and streaming it on Amazon. Literally 2 of the worst companies in history. That movie was paid off the backs of underpaid, overworked foreigners. Starring 2 men whose career was made thanks to a known sex#al predator. This is seriously one of the most blatant examples of tone deaf American culture.
Would you have it both ways so if it tanks they have to pay? Also lower set fee's as well I assume?
Not all movies make money, and most movies are paid for by people who expect a return on investment. This equity sounds like a great idea, and I am not against it, but it's not feasible. The people who spend the millions of dollars for a movie deserve whatever money they get in return, and heck maybe 10% of the net earnings should go to the lead actors of the movie, but giving a percentage to the full and crew is just not possible. You can always have an employee owned entertainment company, but they would have to be the ones who pay the millions to make the movie happen, and good luck on making a profit.
That's how and why United Artist was formed when Chaplin, Pickford and Griffith came together to give more power to the artist than the studio.
@@JACKOTACO Yes, but UA also went public back in the 1950's, and there is nothing independent about that. Nothing against them trying, and those three were awesome on giving it a shot.
Seeing these two guys together never fails to make me smile.
😑 ugh maybe back in 1997
ok
@@lizherbst7393 cynical much?
They have been secretly married since 1999. It will come out sooner or later.
Giving the film crews a bigger share of pie than normal making the production's objective so great! Go Damon, Go Affleck!
The Gospel:
(I am not a bot, I'm just someone who enjoys spreading the gospel. Much love to you all!)
The gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for our sins and rose again, eternally triumphant over His enemies, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe, but only everlasting joy.
Peter says in 1 Peter 2:24, “He himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.”
So Christ died not only to forgive sin, but also that it might die in the lives of His people.
~Quoting John Piper~
ALSO
My friend put together a great PowerPoint about the Gospel and Jesus being the prophesied Messiah. I'd like to share if you're interested, just reply and I can send you the link. May Jesus Bless you!

It's great to see Ben doing well. I'm happy for him.
Two good men, two nice men, two mentally gifted men, two very good actors, and two good friends for life. I like both and have enjoyed the majority of their movies. We need more Afflecks and Damon's.
Loved these two wonderful actors,two great directors. Good at what they do.
There good looking to.
But are they really good men? Ben abused alcohol to the extent it destroyed his marriage and Matt scammed a bunch of people w/crypto ads.
the only better bro duo is Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
@Billy, why do you call them “good” men?
I don’t know about Matt, but Ben cheated on JLo and he cheated on Garner.
And Ben is not doing a lot to make this a better world, considering the bucket loads of money he and his narcissist diva wife have. He is busy flying around in private jets on holiday next to the diva in her real fur coats, he is reportedly buying a 64 million dollar house with the diva.
And it is thanks to Garner, not to Ben, that his children are doing fine despite the divorce from their mother and his alcoholism and him exposing them to the diva.
This is the Ben I’m used to seeing. His love of producing films brings him so much joy.
Thank you so much I really appreciate your support!🙏
Its so cool to see these guys still friends after all these years!!!
You can literally tell on Affleck how happy ,content he is! Good for him.
He finally got the love he wanted !
seems to me he still desperatley trying to convince himself that he is happy. the guy has issues
@@arresthillary9502 and a long family history of alcoholism, plus! By the way ..li love your name! And I second that opinion.!
@@arresthillary9502 give the guy a break!
@Arrest Hillary do you know him personally? Let the man be happy.
It’s crazy they both had such different but prolific careers since GWH….Damon was a box office force and afflack became a critically acclaimed director
Illuminati
Affleck is a very good director and when his heart is in it a good actor... Damon is almost always great in his roles... Viola Davis is fantastic....looking forward to this movie.
He does best when playing himself. Gone girl the way back even chuckie!
It's so important to see friendships like this. I think back to people like Jack Benny and George Burns, and later, Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, and Bob Newhart and Don Rickles, and Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. These friendships really do stand the test of time and get deeper as the years go on. They give me hope for the future with my own friends.
A marvelous absence of talent, these two. Neither has the slightest sense of what it means to perform in front of an audience.
Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein
LOL those are certainly three replies to cherish
Donald Trump and Steve Bannon
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ Amen.
Those two are like brothers ❤️
Ben is a great person unfortunately misunderstood and an amazing filmmaker...can't wait to see this great movie!
Love these guys. 7 Oscar nominations in 25 years between them, a dozen huge franchises, and wins for Best Screenplay and Best Picture - not even acting - overall. Real, true, committed filmmakers. In it for the long-haul. Look at how both spoke about the movie business a decade ago. Two decades ago. Three decades ago. They saw it coming and stuck with it through all the changes, still focusing on making great stuff together. I wish we had more of that.
Here we have Affleck’s ancestor. Yet here we have Hollywood virtue signaling.
There was Cuffey, whose value was estimated at $500 in handwritten estate records still on file with the Chatham County probate court. There were Henry and James, valued at $1,000 apiece. And Robert and Becky, worth $600 as a couple. They were among 24 slaves willed to Benjamin L Cole with instructions to turn them over to his three sons once they reached adulthood.
Evidence that Cole owned slaves drove Affleck to ask PBS and Harvard scholar Henry Louis Gates to remove his relative from a TV programme exploring Affleck’s family tree. After Affleck’s actions became public in April, the Argo actor and director identified the relative as Benjamin Cole on Twitter.
A publicist for Affleck offered no further comment. The AP used historical public records to independently confirm that Cole was Affleck’s ancestor.
And the fact that they both worked together with Robin Williams. Their screenplay earned Williams an Oscar for Supporting Actor, they both are really one of Hollywood's best duo
No one can deny that what these guys did is remarkable. One was 25, the other 27 when they wrote one of the best scripts Hollywood had ever seen. A tour de force, a stroke of genius from two creative minds. Even if they've reached their peak at that moment, you gotta give respect where respect is due.
Love hearing ben affleck talk about work/life balance
balance with J Lo???????
He's a joke.
But why J Lo?? He’s better than that!
Now it turns out that they know more about Ben's life than he himself, they live with him, and that it's impossible for Jennifer to balance Ben's life, even though Ben said that Jennifer takes care of him, are they stupid, haters or both 🤪🤪🤪
Ben sounded manic
i love them. Ben is so genuine, I think he doesn't know what is to be fake or superficial. Good for him. It's very refreshing.
You do realize he’s a professional actor, right?
Genuine!!?? Fake Ben Affleck!??
Ben is such a talented director. This will be great.
Man Ben turned out to be a brilliant director. Just amazing. The Town was amazing. Argo too. Their friendship is inspiring.
We need our friends more often than we think. I don't know why life becomes so isolated once we have families
Some people are destined to be isolated, some don't have the luxury of friends but they do live life in solitude and peace
@@wolverineiscool7161 I actually understand you sadly. But we all end up in solitude peace as we age. We don't think about it now but people die off one by one and then we are alone for however long. Relationships arent permanent, no matter how good they are, that's why we have to cherish the moments ❤️
I actually have more friends now after having kids. I become friends with my kids friends parents.
I know right, I think when our kids see us doing passionate things in life, it allows them to seek that for themselves and gives them the space to do so. It is a balancing act of this.
Sounds like you are not comfortable with yourself LOL, wrong mentality
These two guys together are awesome!❤️😊👍
Nah
They are AMAZING examples of decent humans: friends for life, good dads, wildly talented and creative...how lucky are we to enjoy the results of such a partnership... can't wait to see this film!!!
Are you nuts? Ben Affleck is an unpleasant human.
Not sure how good of a dad and husband Ben has been.
Bens not decent he's a groper and exposed himself to Christine Applegate
@@SBoss281 have you met him? Cause I have and I know a lot of people who have and he’s the sweetest! (Jen too)
@@Honeybees1005 IT'S not YOUR business,!!!!!.😡🙄😳 .
Can't wait to see this.
Ben did an outstanding job directing 'The Town,' and 'Argo.'
This looks like a winner. Especially with Viola Davis, and Chris Tucker.
Matt Damon adds another stellar dimension. 👌
Win Win for sure......a winner.
One of the best friendships in the industry. Happy for them both.
He will forever be remembered as the perfect Batman we almost got.
Yeah I thought he was solid as Batman. Wish he could have directed his own solo Batman movie.
Matt and Ben have proven over the years that “friends are better than money”
Lovely to hear Ben so animated, in his absolute happy place, creating, directing and hanging out with a mate. Matt and Ben forever! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Ben sounded manic
Urghhhh Ben….
@@adorejunk yep, for sure
@@adorejunk yeah whats your read? btw i saw him in other interviews filmed within hours or days of this and he seems to be fighting off a cold or rough flu ( i hope) like his entire upper nose is red unlike peeps with a blow habit and everybody i know in LA who has kids has been sick 8 times these past 4 months and so i think what we are sensing is him trying to push through his promotional tour comittments being super super sick.
Thank you all for your comments and support much love to you all ❤️
The interview is well done, interesting and pleasant.
The Nike Jordan’s story is a good opportunity for these two friends to be reunited on screen...
Ben Affleck is radiant at the mention of Jennifer Lopez; first the smile then Matt Damon's laugh says a lot about their complicity...
They share their lives with very beautiful devoted women.
Happiness and Success to both!
Ben and Matt are so real and down to earth, unlike so many Hollywood actors. They’re great family men, great actors and they have such a rare friendship, and such respect for each other. It’s always so good to see them together. I can’t even imagine how anyone could have anything bad to say about either of them.
Thank you all for your comments,love and support I really appreciate 🙏
Kind of sad when he said, "we are 50 now and we can see the end of the tunnel."
I'm still deeply connected to my gradeschool best friend. It brings me great joy to see others who also managed to maintain that relationship.
Hey folks, haven't talked to your long lost best friend in years? Call them today. Yeah. Or if the blue. Trust me. You won't regret it.
Nice to see Happy Affleck these days 😊
Love seeing Ben & Matt working together again on something..looks good! Now let's get Marr Damon that overdue Oscar!
He already won an Oscar.
Lets get Jennifer Lopez that overdue Oscar!
Damon deserves an Oscar for his acting, not just screenwriting.
Overdue???

The 2 best friend between Ben Affleck & Matt Damon together again since 1997 hit movie Good Will Hunting
8:19 “If you don’t like who you’re working with, and if you having difficulty or trouble at work! I think it’s one of the things that can really cause depression, anxiety and pain for people!”
I just loved Good Will Hunting and saw it many times over the years. If you have never seen it please check it out! I wish they would have made a sequel to see what happened in their lives. So excited for these two getting together again! "Hey everyone, how do you like me now?" Love them!!
I enjoy watching the friendship between these two talented actors.
Actors Equity is a LONG time coming! I’m glad these two are in charge. I’ve a lot of friends in the industry that literally don’t get by and the idea of them being hired for production for Matt and Ben projects lifts my heart and makes me smile… like, my friends will be okay… ❤
The dynamic duo. How fortunate they are to have a confidante and collaborator through thick and thin that helps the other be their best. Rare and Priceless.
I can't wait to see this.
I have to add that it hurt my feelings when it was said Good Will Hunting is 25 years old, haha.
Right
It doesn't hurt if it's true
Great to see them both telling stories that matter and reflect and celebrate the human spirit.
Another hit! Can't wait to see it. So far, rave reviews!
These guys deserve to be where they're at. They've worked hard all of their lives.
Gracie & Burns; Affleck & Damon. Such collaborations are rare as comets, wonderful to watch, Hopefully, never burn out, and make everyone envy those who can endure the personal, familial and professional arguments that fracture or up-end less stable friendships.
Been watching these two since I was a kid and I’ve grown to live these guys. Respect for everything they’ve built. Thank you for the inspiration.
One of the best interview I seen from both Ben and Matt.
Love to see these two together, their friendship is legendary, but mostly I like seeing Ben being sober and doing what he likes best, blessings to all~
These two got the Hollywood's greatest promance. And hopefully they'll stay that way until the end😌
I just saw the movie and it made me feel really good when I left the theater and have been thinking about it all day. Now I've just watched several interviews with them and it just feels so uplifting.
Imagine having a friendship like this that's awesome
I’m watching this movie right now and I LOVE it!!! Love the music and I You guys this movie is amazing!! Makes me proud to be Generation X and also I love Matt Damon and Ben Affleck together again.!! I remember 1984 like it was yesterday.
Two great guys, smart and talented. I’ve enjoyed watching their careers.
Love the ending with 'the love of what you do' coming to the front. These guys are great and the actors' equity production company is brilliant, showing a piece of their hearts. As Ben talks about his work and life and loving what you do, being surrounded by the people you want to be around and actually appreciating it, tells me a lot about his character. It also echoes what I have heard Phil Collins say repeatedly about his career. Luck is big part of it. (yet you must have the goods!) But then loving what you do, shows up.......again, and again, and again. The definition of success.
Ben Affleck looks so laid back and happy being around Matt Damon.
He is his lifelong best friend, they are like brothers.
He always looks happy when around other men.
@@lms1190 🤫🙄
Will never forget them in Dogma they played their characters together so well and they were young!! Definatley one of my favorite movies.
These guys are breathing much needed life into theatrical for this genre of feel good movies. I know this isn’t a biopic but it is great story telling and I cannot wait to see it in my cinema.
‘You’re gonna make it look like she’s doing it as a favor to me, but actually she is’. 😂
More like the other way around.
They are really be a good friend. Love the way that Ben was talking about. Can not wait to see you guys on air !!
Good for them. I cant wait to see the movie and their future collaborations.
Old friends are the best! They keep you grounded and they know the real you. They know where the bodies are buried!!!
Wow this man is a totally different man. What Love can do. He said it himself. I'm so happy for him & Jennifer Lopez🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️
I would say we would all wish we he had that best friend from childhood who still sticks with us decades later. Me and my best friend from HS were inseparable. Then he got married and had a child and we drifted apart. It sucks.
One of my most fav Hollywood friendships. Two people just building each other up. Sheer awesomeness!!
We just saw Air today....it's absolutely incredible for so many reasons! Perfect story telling, inspiring and up lifting. 🔥
So happy to see Ben happy, he deserves it, worked hard for it he's had great success but also a hard time with his own struggles. Damon seems so level headed and very smart, great chemistry they've always had. Wishing them continued success, they've made some great films (Gigli and the last Bourne movie aside though 😅)
These guys are magic together.
Huge yay!! Sooo happy you're working together again. And that *you're* happier!!
I'd thought that this was what you should be doing--creating, making your own movies!! To be fulfilled and happy. Both of you!
Watched the wonderful "Good Will Hunting" again last week. So much there!
Cheers!!
They’re happy together. Authentic guys keep each on the right track
Loved Good Will Hunting.
Man's enjoying his life as he should! 👏🏾 Nothing but up.
I lost my best friend of 35 years to covid last year (he didn't believe it was real) and I really miss my friend.
😔 my condolences
Ben Affleck & Matt Damon have great chemistry. Perfect Couple!😬Looking forward to "AIR" !💫
Two great actors and friends in one movie, I look forward to it, for real, like these men
Their friendship inspires me.
Big it up for the boys...and the movies is going be a smash!!
Such a cool friendship!
So nice to see them still buds after all these years. Love it! Can’t wait to see the movie ❤️
Thanks for your continuous love and support itstroyarenee ❤️❤️
For how long have you been a fan of mine itstroyarenee??
God blessed you, Batffleck, by giving you Jason Bourne to be on your side all these years. You are the duo that keeps inspiring.
Can’t wait to see both movies.
I love Matt as an actor and person. He is one of the best actors around, and most importantly, his personal life is private. Ben is a great director. He is seen happy and relaxed. I hope he finds happiness and what he is looking for with JLo. I think he likes a private life, but he hasn't found it yet. All the best for both of them. I am down to see the movie! Love Sunday Morning!!
He loves his life with the woman he chose! His words. No need to psychoanalyze
I think he likes the paps too much.
Love it! Share your success with others! 💙💙
I'm gonna have to watch this. I love both actors. Good to see them working together again.
Ben and Matt back at it again! Can’t wait to see them take on the skies in #Air🛩
Nice to see this day after so many difficult times ❤ Blessings to them and theirs in this new era of success 🌺
Legit can’t wait for this movie as someone from Massachusetts interested in basketball and sneaker culture.
Cant wait to see this, I was fortunate enough to get to see Jordan live one time and when he was announced the place erupted. That logo is now part of basketball history.. "sometimes I dream that he is me.."
Here are two FABULOUS ACTORS, not only doing for themselves, BUT doing for those who work so hard to make these films truly come together financially especially. They both seem truly "GENUINE"! Ben's thought "If you love the people you work with...then you probably have a pretty good life" is could NOT be better said. So looking forward to this movie for sure. Arlene
Imagine how many great talents lost or didn't get what they deserved just because they weren't given enough chances or even enough for what their work was worth. Absolutely great for these guys to do something about that. 👍👏
Matt Damon was beautiful in his 20's and he's still beautiful in his 50's.
One of the best duos of all time!
A wonderful interview. I've been a fan wot Ben and Matt for decades, and yes, I am looking forward to watching "Air" in the movie theatre...
Great friendship and partnership.
Can’t wait for this movie..our son played basketball in a rural area.. he still has the full Wheatie cereal box and had the Jordan shoes which he played in….
Close Friendship between these 2 is Great 🌹
This is the happiest I've seen Ben in some time.
He’s great and happy! That’s awesome
Yeah
You British?
Unstoppable as well. Can't wait to see that.
