 Casey Affleck says childhood friend Matt Damon was a 'show-off' when they were kids Casey Affleck said there was no doubt Matt Damon would make it in Hollywood, because as a kid he never let anyone forget it. During a masterclass at the Zurich Film Festival, the Oscar winner, whose older brother Ben was Damon's childhood best friend growing up in Cambridge, shared a lighthearted story about their school days and called Damon a bit of a show-off. He recalled that they all had the same great theater teacher in a big public school who made kids fall in love with acting, and Damon was the outgoing one who would do talent shows and stand out.  He said it was clear where Damon was headed while the rest of them were still trying to figure it out. Damon and Ben Affleck famously grew up blocks apart and chased Hollywood together, later writing and starring in 1997's Good Will Hunting which won them an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

 U.S ceasefire plan for Sudan could lead to Libya-style partition, adviser says

The remarks come a week after Reuters reported that army leader General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's visa to attend the UN General Assembly in New York had been withheld because he had ​not yet accepted the proposal.


The proposal, put forward by US Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos, would impose a 90-day ​ceasefire, followed by negotiations to end the war and resume the move to civilian rule.


Amjad Farid, an adviser to Burhan on political ​and international affairs, told Reuters that the army-led government had presented its proposed changes to the deal, chief among them an internationally monitored withdrawal of the RSF from urban areas, but the US had appeared to ignore them.


"Mr Boulos seems to be putting pressure on us to accept a ​de facto partitioning of the country similar to Libyan model," he told Reuters, speaking from New York where he attended ​the General Assembly.


"Our concern is that the approach Mr Boulos continues to advance appears to accommodate the militia’s continued existence and preserve a place ‌for ⁠it in Sudan’s political future," he added, referring to the RSF.
