Affleck, 40, confided in Damon about his insecurities saying he felt his movies were unsuccessful and he was more in demand for magazine shoots, reports femalefirst.co.uk. <img alt="Ben Affleck and Matt Damon" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/aug/Ben-Matt.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 365px;" /> Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Recalling a conversation Damon had with Affleck in 2003, he said: &quot;I would call him from Prague and say &#39;How&#39;re you?&#39;. He&#39;d go &#39;You know, I&#39;m in the absolute worst place you can be. I can sell magazines, but not movie tickets. I&#39;m in f***ing jail.&#39; &quot;I was like, &#39;It&#39;s going to be a long, long, long walk back up the hill.&#39; But he knew he could do it because he&#39;s a writer, he&#39;s a director, he&#39;s incredibly talented,&quot; added Damon. Affleck may have had a rough patch in the movie industry, but this year he hit the bull&#39;s eye when his historical thriller &quot;Argo&quot; won best film Oscar. Damon is happy for his friend. &quot;He just took a public beating for a long time. Now he&#39;s so beyond all of that s**t. Now, when I tell people how great he is, they don&#39;t roll their eyes anymore. They agree!&quot; Damon told Total Film magazine.u00a0
