In a recent interview with USA TODAY, the dynamic duo opened up about their new Netflix movie, 'The Rip,' and shared some fascinating insights into their enduring friendship.

In 'The Rip,' they play Miami cops facing an ethical dilemma, a role that required them to shadow real officers and go on ride-alongs. Ben Affleck shared, "Some of the other officers were surprised to see us, but it was a great experience to see their work up close."
When asked about their most underrated films, Matt Damon praised Ben's performance in 'The Way Back,' while Ben Affleck highlighted Matt's roles in 'Stillwater' and 'The Informant!' He also mentioned 'The Good Shepherd,' calling it "a beautiful, subtle examination of intelligence services."
But the real gem of their friendship lies in their mutual admiration. Matt Damon confessed, "I've always been his biggest fan because we were each other's biggest fans when no one else believed in us."
Ben Affleck agreed, adding, "Biggest and only! And his talent has only grown with age."
