Despite Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s longtime bromance, Affleck suggested that Damon has repulsive living habits and isn’t the cleanest roommate.
During a recent interview, the “Justice League” actor detailed his relationship with his friend and noted a few shocking details.
“Matt is a beautiful guy, I love him. He’s my best friend, he’s been great to me my whole life, he’s a brilliant guy… I would not suggest living with him,” Affleck said on “The Late Late Show with James Corden.”
The 50-year-old added that Damon’s a “great actor” and that he has the strong ability to “focus” or tune things out.

“One of the things he blocks out is the idea when you finish with something that it has to be washed or thrown away.”
Affleck continued to explain that he and his brother Casey went on a “strike” after becoming fed up with their roommate’s mess.
“After cleaning up after the guy for years, you know what ‘We are going to go on a sit-down strike,’” he and his brother decided.

“We’re just going to wait and see how long he will go before he actually gets up and goes: ‘God, I’m covered in garbage!’ and he went weeks, two weeks without touching the apartment.”
Affleck went on to say that he came home one day to find Damon in shorts and a T-shirt, playing a video game and surrounded by “concentric circles of garbage.”
“… Pizza boxes – I look down at this sushi thing that’s like a week-and-a-half old and there’s maggots.”
