Matt Damon [1] stopped by The Daily Show on Wednesday to promote his clean water initiative with Water.org and WaterEquity, but one topic he couldn't escape was Ben Affleck's massive back tattoo [2] which the actor recently put on display while filming out in Hawaii [3]. Host Trevor Noah immediately went in asking the question on all of our minds when the Downsizing star took his seat. "I don't believe a friend would allow a friend to get a back tattoo of a colourful dragon," Trevor joked about Matt and his longtime BFF [4].
"It's not one man's job to tell another man what he can do to his back," Damon quipped. "You know, I support him in all of his . . . artistic expression." After sharing a laugh, Trevor shot back, "Fair enough. That's a good friend answer, actually."
Matt also confirmed that the reason why he and Ben are still best friends [5] is that "unfortunately, I can't seem to shake him," he teased. "I've known him since I was 10, so it's [been] 37 years." Matt and Ben wrote their 1997 hit, Good Will Hunting [6] together, which went on to earn them their first Oscars and kick-started their successful movie careers.
