I’m sure you didn’t know that these celebrities are not only best friends, but parents too.

Life is far more interesting than any movie – even with the most sophisticated script. So, we tirelessly search for celebrity family connections that no one would ever think of.

Another celebrity couple is ready to amaze you. It’s probably no secret that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are best friends. Their “union” is more than 30 years old: they met young boys in primary school and have been inseparable ever since. A kind of example of true male friendship.

Together they succeed. They went through hardships together, supported each other through love issues, starred in several films making them super popular, and even founded their own production company, Pearl Street Films.

But few people know that the actors are not only each other’s best friends, but also… distant relatives! It turned out that a dozen generations ago, their common ancestor named William Knowlton left England for America, giving birth to such wonderful and talented descendants. Centuries later, Damon and Affleck were born.
