Ben Affleck, Matt Damon & Chris Tucker Talk Fame, Friendship & Their Buzzy Nike Film 'AIR' | PEOPLE

In the new issue of PEOPLE, Matt Damon, who costars with his longtime friend Ben Affleck in the new movie 'AIR,' reveals how he leaned on Affleck after they rocketed to fame more than two decades ago following the success of their 1997 drama 'Good Will Hunting.'

"It's been really helpful to check in with Ben throughout this whole surreal process over the last 25 years. I think the shock of becoming famous is so... I mean, that messed me up for a couple years," says Damon.

Their new film 'AIR' tells the story of how Nike co-founder Phil Knight (Affleck) and executives Howard White (Chris Tucker) and Sonny Vaccaro (Damon) bet their company's future to persuade then-NBA rookie Michael Jordan to partner with them.

Watch Damon, Affleck and Tucker talk friendship, fatherhood and their buzzy new film now playing in theaters.
