Ben Affleck and Jon Hamm were hard at work on the set of their new crime thriller, The Town, in Boston, Massachusetts yesterday (October 10).
While bank robber Ben could be seen picking up some last-minute pistol techniques courtesy of a former police officer, 38-year-old Jon took it up a notch as he handled an automatic rifle like a pro as an FBI agent.
Meanwhile, it appears that Ben and BFF Matt Damon are more than just pals — they’re family!
According to the New England Genealogical Society, the A-list stars are 10th cousins, once removed.
Researchers found evidence that Ben and Matt both descend from William Knowlton Jr., a bricklayer who came to the states from England in the 1630s and settled in Ipswich, MA.
The pair grew up together outside of Boston and skyrocketed to Hollywood superstardom after taking home the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for 1997’s Good Will Hunting.

Two of the hottest men in Hollywood.
Wow finally some great shots of both Ben and
Jon Would love to see Jon put a gun on Ben’s
head..Like the bank robber scene…Tom’s movie way more exciting than this one is…when is Ben going to be on a car on the highway and jump from a moving car to car..The only one that has has a gun is Jon… When are we going to see the whole scene ..Tom’s you see the actual event as it happens…
This was the same day that he had lunch with Jen
and his daughters.. who is that woman that he is smiling at?? Wow we see the guy from the
bank heist aiming his gun again…and the way
that Ben is telling him to put it down…Lets
get to work Ben bring out Jon and you doing a
scene to together..Since this is suppose the big
shoot out…
He already did a big scene with car chases and explosion on a bridge and Fenway park.Just because there are no pics doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.Trust me this movie is going to be better than Tom Cruise’s flick.He’s movie is based on a best selling book and we know Ben can direct.Can wait to see this movie.
Ben has gun envy? Are you trying to compare gunfire or size.Because if it’s what I think it is .Ben wins hands down ;)Just ask Jen Garner
Looks like Ben is Directing.
Why would Ben have Gun Evy? Ben wrote the screen play for this movie and choose the size of the guns for the scenes. I don’t get this question.
I don’t want to see Tom’s movie. There are to many pictures of scenes on the inernet. I feel like I am watching the movie already.
