Affleck And Damon Are Cousins

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have more in common than just than being childhood friends and collaborators on Good Will Hunting – they are also tenth cousins, once removed, according to a new report by the New England Genealogical Society. Both are descended from William Knowlton Jr., an English bricklayer who moved to Ipswich, Mass., in the 1630s. (Photo: WENN)
