Ben Affleck Saved By Matt Damon
Ben Affleck believes that best friend Matt Damon saved him from being a “loner”.
The handsome actor, who starred alongside Matt in ‘Good Will Hunting’, claims he had reached rock bottom when he began school at the University of Vermont and admits he begged Matt to come rescue him.
He revealed to Parade magazine; “I felt alone. Two weeks after I got to Vermont, I called my girlfriend’s room, and some guy answered the phone!
Then, when I was playing an intramural basketball game, I fractured my hip. I was miserable.
I was now on crutches in the coldest university in America, living in the dorm farthest from the main campus, and I didn’t know a soul, nobody!
I ate alone and skipped classes for five weeks.
Then I called Matt, who was at Harvard University. I told him, ‘You’ve got to pick me up! I can’t walk that well. Come and get me now!’
Matt was there in six hours. That was the last I ever saw of the University of Vermont. I never went back. I don’t think I have any credits. It was not money well spent.”
Ben also confessed he can’t stand to be parted from his daughter Violet, whom he had with wife Jennifer Garner.
He said; “The best thing that ever happened to me is Violet. She is happy as hell and talks like crazy!
She has the ability to make me smile and feel so good and be so charmed that, when I’m not with her for a while, all I want to do is go home, just to be around her again.”
Meanwhile, Ben recently admitted in an interview with Details magazine that dating Jennifer Lopez was “bad for his career”.
He said; “It was probably bad for my career. What happens in this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work.
I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and the media mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that.”
