In awith Affleck鈥檚 younger brother, Casey, Damon spoke about how the elder Affleck is under a media microscope.
鈥淚 can鈥檛 imagine living under that kind of scrutiny,鈥 Damon said. 鈥淎nd it鈥檚 been like that for 25 years, and we鈥檝e had parallel careers in a lot of ways and so I鈥檓 fortunate to have been kind of excused from that part of [it].鈥

Damon said despite the popularity of celebrity tabloid magazines 25 years ago, he credits his 鈥渂oring鈥 marriage to Luciana Barroso for protecting him from the attention.
鈥淟ike a guy who鈥檚 married, it鈥檚 so boring,鈥 he said. 鈥淲hat would sell those things were scandal and sex and all that stuff 鈥 and as long as you didn鈥檛 do any of that stuff, it wasn鈥檛 really worth their time to wait to take your picture and so I ended up kind of getting left alone.鈥
Affleck is currently married to singer/actress Jennifer Lopez. He was first engaged to marry her in 2003 before they split. Part of their breakup was reportedly because of the media attention paid to their relationship. Affleck has been outspoken about not being enamored with fame.

鈥淚 just wanted to get to work, and so I kind of hid for a few years while I got my bearings,鈥 Damon said. 鈥淟uckily, I fell in love with someone who was not in the business [and] who would tolerate that side of it, and that really helped me.鈥
