Duel of two stars

This couple is familiar from childhood. It is since that time they have become friends, "thick as thieves." What is success to date reached mates Matt Damon and Ben Affleck?










Career
Well, they both started off at the same time. Before a friend managed to sell them written the screenplay for "Good Will Hunting" of Miramax Films, they starred in films that did not bring any success, either. But his script Damon and Affleck made a big bet - one of the conditions of the sale was to get writers roles in this film, so a long time and could not sell it. Yet it was sold, as received, and after the release of "Good Will Hunting" friends tore their jackpot: they not only immediately struck fame, but also Matt and Ben got the "Oscar" and "Golden Globe" for best original scenario, as well as the prize National Board of Review for his special contribution to cinema, not to mention the total number of awards and nominations, which are assembled film. It is said that still, yes: more laurels went to Matt as the leading actor - Silver Bear for an outstanding individual contribution at the Berlin Festival and a nomination for "Oscar».























Of course, after such a successful career skyrocketed at both showered with offers, which can already sort through, but if we speak honestly, then Affleck is more prevalent Action ("Pearl Harbor," "Daredevil") and Damon - a complex psychological movies ("The Talented Mr. Ripley," "The Departed").
Awards and nominations roll in both, but more serious - Matt.







Result: 3: 2 in favor of Matt, I think it's fair.

Popularity
Actor's success can be traced by looking at kinopoisk, and ensure that movies with Damon is much more popular than the picture with his comrade in the top-250 "The Departed" took the 24th position in the ranking Affleck in the top part of a their joint the work of "Good Will Hunting", which occupies the 122 th place. Apart from the above mentioned, Matt has 2 "kinotopovyh" movie "Saving Private Ryan" and "Ocean's Eleven" (although the honor of speaking, there are better). Popularity in total, equivalent to: a month in RuNet information related to Affleck, ask for an average of 9801 times, with Damon - 9958.





Result: 3: 2. in favor of Matt.

Life
In this area, almost all Hollywood stars is a great variety until they find, in this case, there is only one (and that is not a fact).
Then friends and comrades did not lose time in vain. Matt met with the model Cara Sands, however, rumored romance broke through on the next movie partner Damon Claire Danes.



I do not beat Matt and office romance. On the film "Good Will Hunting" embark on an affair with Minnie Driver.









Also an actor, the two met with Winona Ryder.











But Damon got married only in 2005 after he met his future wife in Miami Luciani, where she worked as a bartender. They have three daughters: Isabella, Gia Zavala and Stella Zavala.











Affleck have had a serious relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow, but everything went wrong after the "Shakespeare in Love." A lot of what was said - and on the novel by Joseph Fiennes, Gwyneth, and the pressure of the press, which immediately sensed that something was wrong. However, the couple broke up.





And then - Jennifer Lopez. It was a very beautiful couple, who had become engaged in 2002, and two years later to leave. Ben said that romance with Lopez adversely affected his career - already talked about it only as a boyfriend Jay Luo. Her fame, in short, overlapping his own success.









But Ben has long been a inconsolable. Already in 2005, he married actress Jennifer Garner, The couple has two daughters.















Result: 2: 2. Here, none of the other friends will not yield.

Beauty
Honestly, neither one nor the other extreme outer sympathy I have no objections. However, we must pay tribute Affleck - still-yes, it is very cute and attractive. Damon soon, the guy from our yard :).











Justice and fairness it should be said that in a special issue of the magazine «People» 2000 Ben was named one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world.













So, trust the statistics «People», and as a result of external indicators Affleck won with the score 3: 1.

Acting
Again, not a fan of either one or the other. But! We proceed from the canons of acting: a good actor - is: diverse roles, playing a high level of Stanislavsky, ie "I believe!" And, of course, a good movie. So for these indicators Damon-and overtook his friend. In its active psychological dramas, thrillers, comedies, as well as very good in my opinion the draft fabulous fiction like "The Brothers Grimm."















We Affleck is the most spectacular part of the movie - "Armageddon," "Pearl Harbor," "Paycheck" (for all these works, by the way, was nominated and awarded a "Golden Raspberry"). Of course, Ben good actor, but these films did not reveal anyone's divine gift. So, something to strive for.

















Result: 3: 1 in favor of Matt



The overall result - 12:10 in favor of Matt Damon. Yet, you see, the actor must define the success of his acting opportunities and active manifestation).
