Matt Damon thinks Ben Affleck has ruined his career

Actor Matt Damon has said that believes fellow actor, and friend Ben Affleck made bad choices, and that's why his acting career is ruined. 'The Bourne Ultimatum' star said that he thinks Ben's career has gone south due to his choice of film roles and the media attention from his romance with actress/popstar Jennifer Lopez.

In 1997 Matt Damon and Ben Affleck made their big break into Hollywood after they wrote and starred in Good Will Hunting. The film won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Damon was recently named the highest paid actor. He has starred in box office hits including 'The Departed' and all three of the Bourne films.

Ben Affleck starred in the war drama Pearl Harbor, which saw pretty good reviews from the critic. He co-starred with then-lover Jennifer Lopez in Gigli, which did quit badly at the box office.

He picked things that in hindsight weren't a good choice. I also think that if you end up on the cover of gossip magazine you're (expletive), Damon says. When people see you all the time there's no mystery about you any more and no-one's going to wants to go see your movies.

The pair are allegedly planning to work together on another film in the future.
