Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s friendshipis one of the most interesting and longest-lasting in Hollywood.

The duo eventually sold their script to Miramax for $600,000.

In 1997, production started on the film, and its release earned Damon and Affleck praise and fame.

The movie was so well received that it earned the pair an Oscar nomination.

However, some other attendees at the event reportedly found Damon and Affleck’s choice of Oscar dates strange.

“And I remember, how everyone had made such a big thing out of it.

As if this was such a novelty.

Of course, our moms were gonna go.

That was really innocent and not faked,” he added.

Since then, many other stars have chosen to bring their mothers to the Oscars with them as well.

Years later, Damon and Affleck still love spending time with their mothers.

Of course, they have also had much individual success, as well.

Affleck returned to the Oscar stage when he won best picture for his film “Argo” in 2012.

As for the iconic duo’s personal and work relationships, they’re both doing fine.

“It was so lovely to be working together.

It was just so much fun.

I don’t know.

It kind of felt like just us and getting to do the thing that we wanted to do.

I loved it,” he added.
