AIR, the new film starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, directed by Affleck, reunites old friends with a seal of approval from Michael Jordan. It's no secret that Affleck and Damon have been friends for decades, first meeting when Damon was 10 and Affleck was 8. In previous interviews, both actors have expressed that they each had a love of acting at a young age. During a Q&A after the AIR screening in New York, Affleck joked that he's been commanding Damon since high school. He said according to IndieWire:

"It's not the first time I've held him. It might look like the first time he's directed me. I mean, we did a high school play where he was like, 'Dude, I think you should do it this way.'" has been leading me for about 40 years."

The pair have worked together before, with "Good Will Hunting" being their first role. Damon, then 27, and Affleck, then 25, co-wrote the film while they were roommates. Affleck previously said, according to Forbes magazine:

"We rented this house in Venice Beach and 800 people came and stayed with us and got drunk. Then we ran out of money and had to get an apartment. It was like everything was exciting. So we lived in Glendale and Eagle Rock , and we lived in Hollywood, West Hollywood, Venice, near the Hollywood Bowl, everywhere."

Affleck dhe Damon jo vetëm që ndanë një apartament, por edhe një llogari bankare. Gjatë një episodi të “The Bill Simmons Podcast”, të dy zbuluan se kishin një qasje “të gjithë për një dhe një për të gjithë”. Affleck tha, “Ne do të ndihmonim njëri-tjetrin dhe do të ishim aty për njëri-tjetrin. Ishte sikur, ‘ti nuk do të jesh vetëm. Unë nuk do të jem vetëm, le të shkojmë atje dhe ta bëjmë këtë së bashku. Sipas Us Weekly, Affleck dhe Damon përdorën publikimin e “Good Will Hunting” për të siguruar një apartament të ri përpara se të kishin ndonjë kredi për emrat e tyre. Affleck kohët e fundit pranoi se ai shmangu punën me Damon pas suksesit të “Good Will Hunting”, sepse të qenit gjithmonë i lidhur si dyshe do të ishte “kufizuese”.

Affleck gjithashtu reflektoi mbi rëndësinë e miqësisë së tij gati 40-vjeçare me Damon në media, duke thënë:

"I think the reason it works is that I trust him and I love him and I know this is someone with integrity. In this business, failure is hard, and success is confusing and can make you lose your bearings." . Having that friendship as a touchstone over the years was really meaningful."
