Matt Damon Interviews Ben Affleck About 'The Tender Bar' & Film Career | Entertainment Weekly

I like how whenever Ben is complimented in an interview, he always thanks the person.

[marky]

Ben did what most people are not willing to do, he openly articulates his successes and failures with openness and humility. These two guys are a super duo and a reminder that friends are there for each other no matter what happens in life. Great interview!

[johnbcooper]

I want to see a massive interview with Ben and Matt just going through each others careers.

[cjgee]

I love these guys. They’ve stayed friends since they were kids and they continue to support each other. They’re good people.

[CLBOO]

The ending is so heartwarming. They’re very blessed to have each other. I mean not so many people alive have a friendship that lasts this long and true.

[nathelondon]

Nice to see that two great actors are still friends after all this time.

[grimmywizard]

These guys are not just actors, they understand every aspect about filmmaking. Grew up together, made Good Will Hunting all by themselves and bagged an Oscar for it, did various great roles and became big af and are still just as good as friends. Love them both!

Fantastic! FINALLY a real and intelligent conversation with zero affectation. This interview shows Ben Affleck in his very best light with his dear friend Matt Damon. No comparison to the pretentious talk shows ~ this was an elevated inspiring conversation.

[marge]

I love Ben Affleck, he deserves more attention, he's a great actor, writer and director! Wish him all the best.

[Golden]

I love the friendship, comfortability and chemistry they have with each other.

[shatsberg]

I'll watch anything with Ben Affleck.
He was the bomb in Phantoms.

[belmabalacano]

Real friendship still exist even in Hollywood with its shifting interests, agendas, motives and they didn’t let its corrosive influence ruin their friendship. It must be each other’s longest relationship, from age 8 and 10 respectively. Wish them success and happiness in their future endeavors. Wonderful interview btw.

[candycarter]

I love Ben Affleck. Always have, always will. This interview is immensely sweet because of the interviewer, but immensely interesting because of the interviewee.

[neildavidvandenbergh]

What an absolutely fantastic interview. I too appreciate how humble and down to earth these guys seem, in spite of how gifted, experienced, and established they are. Thanks so much for posting! 🙏

[mishka-bonggujjufoodiecoup]

What you witness is genuine and profound friendship between these two movie legends!

[debbiedoodiedandi]

Sometimes I feel bad their careers are so linked together, since they're constantly asked about each other in almost every interview they do (especially Matt, who's constantly asked about Ben's love life). But then you watch an interview like this and the conversation is so relaxed and engaging, it's one of their best interviews. It's good to see how strong their bond still is after all this time

[jkhoover]

Wow! This is the most honest interview I've ever seen. I really appreciate the honesty on Ben's career, (successes and failures) love life and personal life. This was amazing.

[kristiannelson]

Ben is incredibly self-deprecating, almost too much. He is a brilliant director himself. Argo and The Town are brilliant films!

[cqtaylor]

Matt & Ben: there's never been a friendship/acting duo like this, and the fans would be fortunate to see another pair like them again.

[michaelshearer]

Tender Bar is one of the best films I have seen in quite some time. I absolutely loved it, Ben was amazing, as well as Tye Sheridan. George Clooney knocked it out of the park as director on this.
