Matt Damon breaks silence around buddy Ben Affleck's divorce
Matt Damon has broken the silence around his friend Ben Affleck's divorce from wife Jennifer Garner. The duo were at the premiere of their HBO show Project Greenlight.
The new Batman Ben Affleck may still be keeping mum about his split from wife Jennifer Garner but his childhood friend Matt Damon says he is doing "great".
The 42-year-old Argo star and Damon, who came for the premiere of HBO series Project Greenlight, got clicked together, but Affleck again made a decent escape avoiding any personal questions, reported People magazine.
However, Damon, 44, did speak about his friend. "He's great, he's great. He's got a big smile on his face," he said.
The Departed actor, who co-wrote the Academy Award-winning screenplay of Good Will Hunting with Affleck, also joked about the latter's upcoming birthday on August 15.
"Yeah, I wish him well, but he's forty-three, it's kind of like, meh. What is forty-three? It's not forty, it's not forty-five, it's forty-three. It's a forgettable birthday," he said.
