The full story from Variety:
Driver was asked what the rudest thing anyone in the industry had ever said to her (without naming names).
“The producer did not think I was hot enough to be in that film and did not want me in the film,” Driver said.
“… I really owe Matt Damon and Ben Affleck … [They] fought very hard for me to play that role (Good Will Hunting) and I am grateful to them to this day,” Driver said.
Driver said the comments didn’t really bother her because “‘hotness’ is a perception, and it’s really a point of view, and this dude was no picnic to look at.”
