In a recent exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, Hollywood heavyweights Matt Damon and Ben Affleck opened up about the unique experience of being labeled as Oscar winners. The dynamic duo, who previously took home the prestigious award for their work on the screenplay for “Good Will Hunting,” discussed how it’s “never normal” to have that title attached to their names.
Affleck, who has continued to have success in both acting and producing, shared his thoughts on how winning an Oscar can impact one’s career. “It’s definitely a badge of honor,” he explained. “But at the same time, it’s important to not let it define you as an artist. You have to keep pushing yourself to create new and exciting work.”
Damon, who has also found success as an actor, producer, and writer, echoed Affleck’s sentiments. “Winning an Oscar is a huge accomplishment, but it’s not the end-all, be-all,” he said. “We’re constantly challenging ourselves to take risks and try new things, regardless of any accolades we may have received in the past.”
Joining them in the interview was the talented Cillian Murphy, who recently won his first Oscar for his performance in a different film. Murphy spoke highly of his experience working with Affleck and Damon on their latest project, “Small Things Like These,” which is set to hit theaters on Nov. 8.
“It was truly an honor to work alongside Ben and Matt,” Murphy gushed. “Their dedication to their craft is inspiring, and it was a pleasure to collaborate with such seasoned professionals.” With three powerhouse talents like Damon, Affleck, and Murphy coming together, “Small Things Like These” is sure to be a must-see film that will captivate audiences worldwide.
