Matt Damon vowed never to date celebrities after going out with stars like Winona Ryder and Minnie Driver.
In an interview with Boston Magazine, the Saving Private Ryan star said:
“If you’re with somebody who’s in the business, it becomes exponentially more severe, the attention does. So I think if you don’t date anybody who’s in the movie business, you’re one step ahead. And if you don’t live a garish or obnoxious lifestyle, people tend to lose interest.“
Matt’s friend Ben Affleck’s previous relationship with Jennifer Lopez demonstrated what a celebrity relationship could potentially morph into.
“It kind of magnifies exponentially the whole part of this thing that I don’t like, and that really gets in the way of doing my job and interferes with the life part of life. I mean, just look at what happened to Ben,” he told the Washington Post.
