Matt Damon on Friend Ben Affleck:

Matt Damon opens up to Men's Health in the first-ever "Hot Issue" about his career and success as an actor and director: "My movies being really good or watchable always depends on everybody being really good, not just me." Matt also chats about working with longtime friend Ben Affleck: "When one of us comes up with an absolutely...horrible idea...the other person, without batting an eyelash, says 'That's a terrible idea.'"

Emily Blunt on Getting in Shape:

Emily Blunt, who plays a ballerina in "The Adjustment Bureau" reveals to Women's Health that she trained with good friend-and seasoned dancer—Amy Adams. "Amy is a gung-ho-a crack-the-whip kind of girl. Her advice is always 'Just do it! You can do it!'" Once she was in top form, Emily says her body looked like "an aerobics teacher...I had an eight-pack!"

Damon and Blunt on Working Together:

The stars also opened up to both magazines about working with each other. Matt, when asked about working with Emily, tells Women's Health, "There are a lot of great actresses her age right now, but Emily is just...unbelievable." Emily tells Men's Health, "I met Matt and he was lovely and very funny, and instantly, I thought, 'Oh, we could be like teenage boys together. Just be weird and stupid and silly.'"

"Both Matt Damon and Emily Blunt are talented, hard-working actors who often have to transform and shape their bodies to fit a specific role," said David Zinczenko, Editor-In-Chief of Men's Health and Editorial Director of Women's Health. "Much like our readers, Matt and Emily are committed to healthy lifestyles and both lead by example. I hope our readers are both motivated and inspired by their stories."
