Ben Affleck calls out to his longtime best friend Matt Damon for being a filthy roommate when they lived together in the early days of their careers.
The “Air” director shared on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” on Thursday that he and his brother, Casey Affleck, who was living with Damon at the time, once decided to go on “strike” and didn’t clean up to force it. The “Bourne Identity” star will go after himself.
Ben, 50, said they wanted to “wait and see how long it would take” before Damon, 52, realized, “‘God, I’m in trouble'”.
But the “Argo” director said the plan backfired because Damon had “two weeks without touching the apartment.”
Ben said he found his friend one day playing a Sega Genesis hockey game surrounded by “concentric circles of trash,” including an old pizza box and leftover sushi containing “worms.”
The “Armageddon” star claimed that the “Jason Bourne” actor was unaware of the mess he was living in and told her and Casey, 47, “‘Hey guys, what’s going on?’
“We were like, ‘We’re sending’. We are sending. You are very good. We can’t beat you’,” Ben said to Damon in response, forcing him and his brother to clean the floor once again.
The “Missing Girl” star revealed that she believes the “Martian” actor is able to get through his day without paying attention to the dirt that surrounds him because he has the extraordinary ability to “keep things out” mentally.
Ben praised Damon for being a “beautiful” and “intelligent” man, but concluded that he “wouldn’t recommend living with him”.
“God bless his wife Lucy. [Barroso]. There is a place for you in heaven too,” he added.
Ben and Damon moved to live together in Los Angeles to help save money as they both tried to get their acting careers off the ground.

The “Good Will Hunting” writers also had a joint bank account while living in Boston.
Ben told James Corden on Thursday that they had decided to split their funds to help pay the bills and “be able to take the train to New York to audition for the next time.”
“I was so excited when ‘Bourne Identity’ came out,” the “Town” actor joked.
But Ben realizes once again that Damon isn’t the most responsible when it comes to paying bills on time.
When the “Justice League” star asked her “Last Duel” co-star why the lights were off, she said she needed to remind him that “the utility company needs money to continue financing our electricity.”
I joked, “Matt hasn’t paid any bills to date.”
Damon’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Ben’s words.
