Hollywood actor Matt Damon received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Wednesday.
"The Bourne Ultimatum" star became the 2,343rd celebrity honored with a star in the popular tourist district on Hollywood Boulevard.
Speaking at a ceremony to mark the occasion, Damon recalled his days with close friend Ben Affleck when they were struggling to be actors.
"Ben and I lived in a really, really crappy apartment about five blocks away from here."
"We used to walk up and down here, and look at these stars and ... I hoped, I dreamed that this would happen but I ... thank you, thanks a lot."
Damon, 36, won a screenwriting Oscar with Affleck in 1998 for "Good Will Hunting," in which he portrayed a troubled university janitor who is a mathematics genius.
He has also starred in "The Departed," "The Good Shepherd" and the "Ocean's Eleven" franchise. He stars as the amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Identity" and its two sequels.
