Matt Damon Talks The Rip, Boston Sports, and More on Skip Intro

Matt Damon produces and stars alongside Ben Affleck in the thrilling heist drama The Rip.

The duo teamed up with writer-director Joe Carnahan to bring the script to life — inspired by true events from Miami Police Department’s Tactical Narcotics Team.

Damon shares how his public friendship with Affleck was good “baggage” to bring to their onscreen friendship, and his shock after hearing how much Affleck’s Spanish had improved.

The Oscar-winning actor also reflects on the trajectory of his early career, the highs and lows of being a Boston sports fan, and the profound gratitude he experienced while working with Christopher Nolan on the upcoming film The Odyssey.
