| DAMON: AFFLECK IS SICK OF FAME
Hollywood star Matt Damon claims his pal Ben Affleck never wants to see his face on a magazine again -- because the publicity he's attracted this year has made him "sick of himself."
The "Daredevil" star's axed wedding to Jennifer Lopez in September and the subsequent press investigation into the state of their relationship has taken its toll on Affleck, and he sympathizes with movie fans across the world who are bored with reading about him.
His good friend Damon says, "Ben told me he doesn't want to see his picture on the cover of another magazine. He said all this recent publicity is making him sick of himself.
"Ben understands why some people are sick of seeing so much being written and photographed about him and that's really frustrating for him."
And Damon refutes accusations Affleck used his romance with J.Lo to raise his profile.
He adds, "Ben didn't go into the relationship saying, 'This will get me a lot of coverage.' Ben was already getting plenty of work as an actor. He didn't need this kind of celebrity and he certainly never courted it." | |
