Actors and longtime friends Ben Affleck And Matt Damon blew all the money they made from the 1997 film Good Will Hunting in just six months.

During a recent interview “The Drew Barrymore Show” To promote their new movie Air, Affleck revealed that he and Damon shared a bank account to boost their acting careers. However, when the two sold the screenplay for their Oscar-winning film, Good Will Hunting, Affleck said he felt at the time he “never had to work again.”

“We sold [the film] for $600,000. We split that up, $300,000 each, and then the agents got $30,000, so we had $270,000, and we paid about $160,000 in taxes, so we had $110,000, each bought $55,000 Jeep Cherokees and then had $55,000 left over ‘ Affleck said to Barrymore.

“Of course we decided to rent a $5,000-a-month party house on Glencoe Way near the Hollywood Bowl, and we were broke in six months,” he added.

Affleck also shared that the support he and Damon had for each other during their early beginnings as actors was “really valuable.”

“We were friends and wanted us to be successful, and we love each other, so it seemed like, ‘Let’s do this together,'” he said.

Early March, Damon confirmed in a podcast that he shared a bank account with Affleck, which they used to fund audition travel in New York.
