While appearing on the latest episode of ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ with Jamie Ding, Affleck admitted that Matt Damon inspired him to prepare well for one of the show’s high-budget questions. While competing against Larry David and his daughter Cazzie David, Affleck and Ding kept the money high, reaching the USD 250,000 question mark.For the question, Kimmel asked them, “During the annual Spanish festival El Colacho, the men in demon costumes run and jump over what?” While answering the question, the ‘Batman’ actor revealed that his old friend Matt Damon may have indirectly inspired him to read about the question. She shared, “So when Matt was on this show, I was sitting there like, ‘I can answer that question. I can answer that,’ you know, like trying to reassure my insecurities, and he got this question about this New Year’s Eve thing in Spain, and, like, what do you eat with grapes is the answer. And I don’t know that.”He even shared that he researched a bit about Spain and the festival customs connected with it because of ‘The Odyssey’ actor. He explained, “Because I said at the beginning, well, I speak Spanish, and I know a little bit about the Spanish-speaking world, and I thought, ‘Oh God, that would be embarrassing.’ And I googled these customs and things that happened. And this is one of them.”He concluded, “It’s a Matt Damon tip. Thanks, Matt”, to which Kimmel joked and responded by saying they had to edit it out of the final cut of the program.During the game, they were also asked about a famous fast food chain and one of their specific items, where Affleck admitted that he ate a lot from there. However, the duo still can’t answer the question and have to use one of their lifelines.The final two questions for Affleck and Ding will air on Wednesday, July 29, at 8 PM ET on ABC.
