在好萊塢明星中，馬特?達(dá)蒙跟本?阿弗萊克相交甚密幾乎無人不曉。二人因為出演《心靈捕手》而共獲奧斯卡獎，馬特?達(dá)蒙也表示一直覺得兩人相處就像家人一樣。上個月，“新英格蘭族譜社交團(tuán)體”公布的一項研究結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)，原來兩人在幾百年前真的是一家人。研究人員稱，他們二人均是17世紀(jì)英格蘭伊普斯威奇市一名磚瓦匠的后代，是相隔十代的表兄弟。馬特?達(dá)蒙對此表示很欣喜，并稱還有些嫉妒本?阿弗萊克，因為他們這段親戚關(guān)系只是阿弗萊克龐大家族譜的一小段，這次研究還發(fā)現(xiàn)他還和現(xiàn)任美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬，以及已逝的戴安娜王妃是親戚呢。

Matt Damon was delighted to find out he is related to his best friend Ben Affleck - because the actor has always felt like family.
Researchers from the New England Historic Genealogical Society delved back through the pair's ancestry and uncovered a common 10th great-grandfather, William Knowlton, a bricklayer who hailed from 17th century Ipswich, England.
The society said that Affleck has lots of other famous relatives, including U.S. president Barack Obama and the late Princess Diana.
The news broke last month and Damon admits he felt giddy when he read the reports, because he has always believed he is linked to Affleck.
He tells the Boston Herald, 'I always felt like we were kin. He always felt like kin. I remember when I got that story on my phone, I e-mailed it to him and at the same time he was e-mailing it to me.'
But Damon couldn't help feeling envious when the research revealed Affleck is also distantly related to U.S. President Barack Obama.
Damon adds, 'And then, it turns out, Ben is even related to Barack Obama! I'm very jealous.'
Affleck and Damon were friends growing up in the Boston area and teamed up as writers and co-stars for the 1997 film “Good Will Hunting.”
