Kevin Costner recently reminisced about his time filming ‘Field of Dreams’ and the memorable encounter with then-unknown actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. The ‘Good Will Hunting’ stars made a cameo as extras during a scene shot at Fenway Park in Boston, their hometown.

During an appearance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live,’ Costner shared his vivid memories of the duo’s enthusiastic presence on set. He recalled how Affleck and Damon exuded a contagious energy, leaning in sync and displaying a shared enthusiasm for the experience.

When Kimmel reached out to Damon for his recollections, the actor fondly remembered the encounter, highlighting Costner’s kindness and approachability. Damon reflected on the significance of meeting someone like Costner, who had achieved the career success they aspired to.

‘Field of Dreams,’ which premiered in 1989, has since become a beloved classic, celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. The film garnered four Oscar nominations and left a lasting impact on audiences and industry professionals alike.

Similarly, Affleck and Damon achieved Oscar success with their screenplay for ‘Good Will Hunting’ in 1998, solidifying their places in Hollywood.

The enduring legacy of ‘Field of Dreams’ was recently acknowledged at the Oscars, further cementing its status as a cultural touchstone. As Costner, Affleck, and Damon’s paths intersected on that iconic set, little did they know the indelible mark they would each leave on the film industry.
