TIFF bromance alert! Are Ben and Matt breaking up?
Paging Matt Damon! We don’t want to set off any unnecessary alarm bells (OK, maybe we do), but based on this snap of Ben Affleck and his current leading Mad Man, Jon Hamm, Damon may want to step in and do some BFF damage control before it’s too late.
Consider the evidence: Damon and Affleck are both in Toronto for TIFF, but have yet to be spotted together. Meanwhile, the Affleck–Hamm bromance seems to have advanced far past the flirtation stage. (Would it be premature to call them Afflamm? Hammfleck?)
