Matt Damon revealed wife Luciana Barroso Damon once had a crush on Ben Affleck. While appearing on SiriusXM’s ‘Howard Stern Show’ Jan. 12, the actor recalled learning that when Luciana first saw his 1997 film ‘Good Will Hunting’ she thought Ben was cuter. Matt explained, "After we’d been together for probably a few months, I met [Luciana’s] best friend from high school and it came out that the two of them went and saw ‘Good Will Hunting’ together and her best friend thought I was the cute one and she thought Ben was the cute one. So I’m like, ‘you got the wrong one!’” However Matt, who shares daughters Isabella, 19, Gia, 17, Stella, 15, and Luciana’s daughter Alexia, 25, from a previous relationship, claimed once Luciana got to know Ben, the crush didn’t last. Saying, "Finally, she met him and all that went away.” Full Story: https://www.eonline.com/news/1427293/matt-damon-wifes-crush-on-ben-affleck-after-good-will-hunting
