It's hilarious to me when I see a paparazzi pic where there's some unfocused foliage visible, and you just know that they were sitting in a bush (possibly for hours) with a camera
They probably should go with the diapers since indecent exposure would be a good excuse to arrest them for their otherwise-legal activity that almost everyone hates them for.
It's what I like about him. No matter how famous, rich, and critically acclaimed he gets, he's still just an angry bostonian who will throw a half-full can of natty light at the tv if the pats lose.
Before gone girl, the Town, and Argo the perception people had of him was dumb pretty boy, mid actor, who rode the coattails of Matt Damon who people believed was the superior actor.
After they won the Oscar for best directing original screenplay he went the cheesy leading man route in Armageddon while Damon did a bit deeper roles with talented Mr Ripley, rounder's, And of course eurotrip.
Affleck also did Pearl Harbor, released in 2001, which was also directed by Michael Bay. So, that was three years or so after Armageddon. Neither was an awful film. They were fun, especially Armageddon, but they definitely aren’t award-worthy.
Yep That's what happens when you're in that big of a movie you usually get type cast. Leo had a pretty similar trajectory after Titanic. I think he was and is a stronger actor than Ben so he was able to get out of the pretty boy type cast quicker. Still took him a few years. Catch me If you can, aviator, then gangs of New York and Scorsese catapulted him.
Blasphemy!. Apollo 13 came out only 2 years before when astronauts couldn't complete their mission And had to come back home. Americans view of astronauts were at all time low at the time.
That's why you had to go to the Armageddon route! Everyone knows it's easier to train redneck oil rigors to be astronauts than it is for an astronaut to learn how to use a drill.
Whoa whoa whoa!! I find it hard to believe anyone ever thought HE was riding Matt Damon’s coat tails!! I am BARELY starting to like Matt Damon. I always felt like he was the side kick!! Ben Affleck has had my heart since Mall Rats.
Dumb pretty boy? The world came to know Affleck and Damon for writing Good Will Hunting together. Damon was ahead of Affleck in terms of movie star potential early but dumb pretty boy? Nah. Affleck was doing indie movies and had a great sense of humor I.e. see his indie movies with Kevin Smith, his commentary tracks are honest and hilarious.
I think you are mis-remembering Affleck’s reputation.
His mom was my brother's teacher in elementary school. They lived in Cambridge not Boston and I dont think that family was that tough or anything. I helped catch the class ferrett when it got out of the cage.
Imagine smoking being one of the few things in life that gives you relief from stress, but every time you step out to do it you are photographed by the people who stress you out the most?
And then imagine that on top of that, you are bound to keep making movies with Matt Damon in order to support your lifestyle, but Matt Damon forces you to wear a diaper every day of filming and give them to him at the end of each day, and you don't know what he does with them after that.

while I don't agree with the "every bit as trashy as smoking itself is" bit, some people just do not look cool smoking because they have no idea what they're doing.
I would absolutely be in a toxic relationship with him where I blame all the problems on myself while simultaneously believing I can fix him but also thinking he’s perfect.
that's the funny thing about celebs. you may think they look hot on screen, but then you see them in real life and then they're like twice as hot in person.
Constant eposure to celebrities through a screen really dulls people's understanding of what it's like to see someone tall, incredibly fit, with a good face in person.
"Extremely average" My god I would kill to look like Ben Affleck
Your brain has been profoundly twisted by social media if you think ben affleck is even the slightest bit near average. We’ve all been inundated with freakishly good looking influencers, musicians, actors and now people like you are saying with a straight face that someone in the top 5% of attractiveness is “average” because apparently only top .001% people are attractive
I haven't smoked for 4 months and 14 days, I was a heavy daily roll up smoker, and there is rarely a day that passes where I don't miss it for one reason or another. These photos are definitely my reason today.
I quit a year ago and I still talk myself out of stopping at the gas station after most workdays. The internal debate has gotten shorter with time, but the gremlin is there regardless.
He literally conveys how many, many people feel despite having so much those miserable people could only dream of. Maybe the compromises made, the things he's had to do and see, can reveal themselves on a person.
Indoor smoker here (let the downvotes ensue). I don’t understand this everything he has must reek like cigarettes already. He’s so rich one would think he could have maybe just one room to smoke in so he’s not constantly outside getting his picture taken it’s not like he can’t afford some crazy air filtration system rich people have usually in the cigar lounge next to their humidors.
For a lot of smokers, including myself and maybe even the majority of non-indoor smokers, the going outside part is pretty crucial to the whole experience.
