Matt Damon shared a surprising anecdote about his wife, Luciana Barroso, admitting she originally fancied his longtime friend, Ben Affleck. Twenty-three years ago, Barroso saw 'Good Will Hunting' and found Affleck more appealing than Damon. She confessed this to Damon several months into their relationship, a detail he recalled during a recent interview.
Damon and Affleck, who have been friends since childhood, have a remarkable creative partnership that began with their Oscar-winning screenplay for 'Good Will Hunting'. Damon's relationship with Barroso started in 2002, and they married within two years. They have since welcomed four daughters, and Damon is a stepfather to Barroso's eldest daughter.
Affleck commented on the couple's enduring marriage, describing it as a "gorgeous marriage and friendship." He noted his privilege in witnessing their relationship's milestones over the past two decades, playfully suggesting that his own interactions with Barroso may have positively influenced her perception of Damon over time.
