Actor Matt Damon says his long time friend and colleague, Ben Affleck, used to feel like a failing actor. Affleck, 40, confided in Damon about his insecurities saying he felt his movies were unsuccessful and he was more in demand for magazine shoots, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Recalling a conversation Damon had with Affleck in 2003, he said: ‘I would call him from Prague and say 'How’re you?'. He’d go ‘You know, I'm in the absolute worst place you can be. I can sell magazines, but not movie tickets. I’m in f***ing jail.’ ‘I was like, ‘It’s going to be a long, long, long walk back up the hill.’
But he knew he could do it because he’s a writer, he’s a director, he’s incredibly talented,’
added Damon.
