Hollywood actor Matt Damon revealed that his wife, Luciana Barroso, considered Ben Affleck the attractive one in ‘Good Will Hunting’ before they even met. The couple, who met in a Miami bar in 2003, learned that Luciana’s friend found Matt appealing, while Luciana herself favored Ben. Despite this revelation, Matt and Luciana’s relationship blossomed, leading to their engagement in 2005.
During an interview on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show, Matt shared the amusing anecdote about his wife’s initial perception. He humorously questioned Luciana’s choice, recalling her admission that she found Ben more attractive 23 years ago. Despite the past mix-up, Matt and Luciana’s bond grew stronger over time, with Ben also praising their enduring friendship and partnership.
Reflecting on the past, Matt mentioned that Luciana’s initial preference for Ben did not affect their relationship. He highlighted Luciana’s role as a producer on his and Ben’s latest film, ‘The Rip,’ emphasizing her talent and friendship. The couple, who tied the knot in a private ceremony in New York in 2005, have built a beautiful marriage and family together.
Ben Affleck, who was previously married to actress Jennifer Garner, also praised Matt and Luciana’s relationship, describing it as a “gorgeous marriage.” Ben, who split from Jennifer Lopez in 2024, jokingly suggested reconnecting with Luciana’s friend to complete the circle. However, Matt, a father of four daughters, including one from Luciana’s previous marriage, playfully pointed out that the friend is already married.
