Matt Damon and Ben Affleck said they "flipped a coin" to decide who would purchase a hunter green color Jeep Cherokee Sport.
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck both eyed the same major purchase when they first found success on the big screen.While speaking with IMDb about their new movie Air recently, Affleck, 50, revealed that both he and longtime friend Damon, 52, "wanted the same car" and flipped a coin to decide which of the pair would purchase a black and green Jeep Cherokee Sport.
"It was the exact same thing actually for me and Matt, and not only that — we wanted the same car," Affleck said, after costar Chris Tucker admitted he wanted to purchase a vehicle after his early acting success.We both wanted to get the Jeep Grand Cherokee Sport – it was like the really dope, new truck at the time," Affleck, who directed and acted in Air, continued.
"We both wanted to get a hunter green one, so we flipped a coin and the loser got a black one and the winner got a green one," Damon noted, telling Air costar Marlon Wayans that Affleck lost the coin flip and wound up with the black Jeep.Then we ended up with, like, his-and-his black and green Jeep trucks," Affleck said. "And we'd always be like 'who's truck are we going to take?' because we lived together."
Damon joked that at the time, the pair said: "This is the biggest coin toss of our lives!"
The two, whose friendship dates back to to their childhood in Cambridge, Massachusetts, began acting in movies in the late 1980s and early 1990s before they won an Academy Award for writing their 1997 film Good Will Hunting, which they also costarred in.
