As boyhood best friends they were always together.

And even now Matt Damon and Ben Affleck like nothing more than a good old catch up.

With Ben's wife Jennifer Garner in New York for work the two took the opportunity to enjoy a sushi lunch in Hollywood on Thursday.

Old friends: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon spent some time together on Thursday in Los Angeles while Ben's wife Jennifer Garner was in New York City

Matt, 43, was dressed cool and comfortable for his lunch wtih his 41-year-old childhood friend Ben.

The Bourne series star wore loose blue jeans, a grey hooded sweater and a trucker's cap for their lunch at Katsuya.

Ben kept it casual also in dark blue trousers and a brown long-sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

The two launched their careers - and won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay - with their debut 1997 film Good Will Hunting, in which they both also starred.

And they are now working together again.

It was announced in October that they will pair up to executive produce the sitcom More Time With Family for CBS.

This isn't the first television producing venture for the two.

Previously, the duo worked together on the reality show Project Greenlight in 2000 and Push, Nevada for ABC.

The pair are also said to be planning a biographical film about infamous mobster James Joseph 'Whitey' Bulger Jr, who spent 16 years on the run and is now serving two life sentences after being convicted of crimes including seven murders.

Offscreen the pair are also family men.

Across the country: Ben's wife Jennifer Garner meanwhile arrived at JFK Airport in New York City on Thursday

Ben has children Violet, eight, Seraphina, five, and Samuel, two, with wife Jennifer.

And Matt and wife Luciana have daughters Isabella, seven, Gia, five, Stella, three, and 14-year-old Alexia.

While they were enjoying some male bonding, Ben's 41-year-old wife Jennifer Garner was at JFK Airport in New York City.

The mother-of-three flashed a wide smile as she made her way through the airport bundled up in a black coat and grey scarves.

The pretty brunette had her hair down and was clutching a blue purse and a shopping bag as she presumably was headed back to Los Angeles.
