DYK Matt Damon's Wife Luciana Barroso Had 'Huge' Crush On Co-Star Ben Affleck? Here's What The Rip Star Said

Netflix's crime drama, The Rip, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, dropped on the OTT giant on January 16, and it has taken over social media. The duo play Miami cop partners Lt. Dane Dumars and Detective

Sergeant JD Byrne, putting their friendship to the test. After discovering millions of dollars hidden in a safehouse, the officers start to question whom on their team they can trust, including each other. The duo had been promoting the film enthusiastically, and at a recent interview, they made a big revelation. Long before Damon married wife Luciana Barroso, she watched Good Will Hunting and walked away with a crush on the 'wrong' actor.

Matt Damon makes hilarious revelation

On The Howard Stern Show, Damon shared, "After we’d been together for probably a few months, I think I met her 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 [Luciana] thought Ben was the cute one." Damon continued, "So she admitted to me. I’m like, ‘You got the wrong one?!’ She told me that 23 years ago."Affleck jumped in, pointing out that he has since worked with Barroso many times over the years. She most recently served as a producer on their Netflix conspiracy thriller, The Rip. "She’s a great producer and a really good friend. And I never got that vibe from her. So I think something I did in real life rubbed it off," he said. Damon jokingly added, "Finally, she met him and all that went away."
