"For us it was always 'Daredevil' - that's the comic we read when we were kids," Damon told nydailynews.com.
"But when that one came along (in 2003) I chickened out, because I couldn't tell. I hadn't seen the director's work and I didn't know. So I just said, 'No.' Ben was like, 'I gotta do it.' And the movie ended up doing very well, even though I don't think Ben was ultimately very proud of it," he added.
