Married with kids, but nothing affects their friendship: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have become neighbours Ben Affleck and Matt Damon have become neighbours
The two childhood friends are living by one another again after Damon purchased a $15 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades district in Los Angeles right near his pal's property.
Affleck is thrilled that Damon has made the move with his family -- wife Luciana and daughters, Alexia, Isabella, six, Gia, four, and 23-month-old Stella -- although he admits the pair's expectations about parenthood have changed a lot over the years.
Ben, who has three children with his wife Jennifer Garner, told the Boston Herald newspaper: "We're closer than we were in Central Square (in Cambridge, Massachusetts)".
"We've got the kids back and forth in the yards.
"The weird thing is, when we imagined hanging out with our kids together, it would be like playing football and baseball. But it's all these girls playing princess!"
Damon's new home boasts six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, swimming pool and sprawling garden.
The two friends famously won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar and a Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay for their 1997 movie 'Good Will Hunting'.
- Meanwhile, Ben has admitted that he is “not very present” with his family.
The ‘Town’ actor admits his wife Jennifer Garner does “everything” with their children -- Violet, six, Seraphina, three, and six-month-old Samuel -- because he is often not around, but does try and do things with them whenever he can.
He said: “I am not very present in the rest of my life. My wife’s very patient. She does everything. If I have time, I try to spend time with my kids, even if just to be a physical presence, the bath, whatever”.
However, the 40-year-old star does not believe he could be a full-time stay-at-home father because he loves his work too much.
He said: “I don’t want to be a stay-at-home dad. Work is very important to me. I like to work. But I need my work to mean something to me in order for me to not be home with them”.
Work still makes Ben anxious, and he admits he often thinks about it when he is with his family. He added to Details magazine: “My mind is always going, ‘How are we going to light that show tomorrow? What’s the master shot for that scene? Is there even going to be a master?’ ”
Ben and Matt - best buds forever
