Yesterday Matt Damon was the star of Redfin Neighborhood Watch – and today he told E! News he is grateful to live next to his buddy, Ben Affleck, saying, “I never looked up at the sky and asked for this life and I’m very lucky that I got it.” Ben lives just up the road on San Remo Drive, which gives their girls a chance to play together often.
Matt and Ben live next to another A-list star that made headlines today: Tom Hanks. Tom will soon go from Saving Private Ryan to Saving Mr. Banks, as today Disney announced the production of Saving Mr. Banks, the account of Walt Disney’s twenty-year pursuit of the film rights to Mary Poppins. Hanks is set to play the role of Walt Disney, the first time the legend has ever been depicted in a movie. Filming will take place in Los Angeles, so it’s a good thing Tom owns a home in Pacific Palisades. If you’d like to live in this star-studded ‘hood, check out the listings below. Trust us – these are The ‘Burbs you want to be in!
