On making Air and working together again…

“That was one of the things that we kind of wanted to do. The idea of, like, why aren’t we hanging out and spending more time together, since we managed to stay friends this whole time?” Ben said.

“Plus, we hit our 50s. I mean, you can see the end of the tunnel!” Matt added.

“I find the most wonderful thing about it was I loved coming to work every day. I love seeing Matt. First of all, he’s a genius. Having him as the anchor of your movie just makes it so…” Ben went on to say.

I loved it. I loved it. I miss it every day since. It was the best, like, work experience of my life, without question,” Ben said.
