Matt Damon reportedly rallied around Minnie Driver after the actress survived a terrifying car crash in France. The Good Will Hunting exes have reportedly maintained a warm friendship long after their romance ended.

Minnie reportedly appreciated Matt Damon checking in after her serious car crash
Minnie shared details about the crash in an Instagram video from London. Another vehicle allegedly sped through an intersection before the collision.
“I got into a really bad car accident a few days ago with my friend Ben,” Minnie said. “We somehow walked out of it.”
She quickly corrected herself with a darker detail about their escape. “Well, we didn’t walk out of it. We crawled out of it.”
Minnie said the crash left her with a sprained neck and considerable shock. “I sort of cry all the time, but I’m going to heal,” she added.
Sources told RadarOnline that Matt quickly checked on his former girlfriend. The actors dated from 1997 until 1998 after filming Good Will Hunting together.
Their relationship famously ended decades ago, but their friendship reportedly survived. An insider said Minnie stayed connected with many people from her long acting career.
“Matt is on that list,” the source explained. “That wasn’t always the case, but they are very good friends these days.”
The insider also claimed Minnie had developed a friendship with Matt’s wife. That connection reportedly made his concern after the crash feel completely natural.
Matt allegedly offered more than a sympathetic phone call. The source claimed he had contacts among sports medicine doctors, physiotherapists, and trainers.
He reportedly offered to connect Minnie with anyone who could help her recovery. According to the insider, Minnie found his concern “very touching and much appreciated.”
The crash had reportedly left her deeply shaken after what the source called a “horribly close call.” Still, Minnie appeared determined to recover from the frightening experience.
For now, the former Good Will Hunting couple reportedly showed what friendship can look like after heartbreak. Sometimes, Hollywood exes really can put the past aside.
