I met Matt Damon in late August at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills,
his favorite spot for interviews. Damon shows up right on time in loosefitting khakis, T-shirt, hiking boots and a baseball cap promoting his
upcoming movie "All the Pretty Horses," co-starring Penelope Cruz. After lunch, we drive in circles around L.A. When I ask to
see where he used to live, Damon shows me the small house in West Hollywood
he shared with Ben Affleck when he first arrived in the West in the early
'90s. The two-family, one-level home is where he and Affleck,
who took the couch after his engagement ended, wrote "Good Will Hunting."
Throughout the four-hour interview Damon is funny, eager to please and
self-deprecating. Following our talk, he returned home, ran five
miles, then spent the rest of the evening reading scripts. -- Craigh Barboza
