Los Angeles - Matt Damon says he never came between his best friend Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
There were reports that Matt advised Ben to dump J Lo after they broke up last year.
But Matt told B magazine that he didn't get involved in their relationship.
He said: "Guys tend to be like: 'Man, make your own choices, do what you want, I back you up.'
"It's a very old friendship so it's not conducive to the kind of tabloid stories that want a rocky relationship."
Matt also said that he got on well with J Lo and thought she was "great".
"I spent four or five afternoons or dinners with them and she was fantastic. She really loved him and he really loved her," he said.
But he admitted that Ben found it difficult to deal with the pressue of the high profile relationship.
"I really felt for him because if you're on the cover of a magazine, it's generally to promote a movie... He was so embarrassed." - Ananova.com
