I’m sure you didn’t know that these celebrities are not only best friends but also relatives.

Life is much more interesting than any movie – even with the most elaborate script. So we tirelessly look for family ties among celebrities that no one would think of.

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

Together they will succeed. They went through hardships together, supported each other in love troubles, starred in several films that made them very popular, and even started 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 turns out that a dozen generations ago, their common ancestor named William Knowlton moved from England to America and gave birth to amazing and talented descendants. Centuries later, Damon and Affleck were born.
