Ben Affleck has become the main character of the new issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. In a large-scale interview, the actor spoke about his relationship with his wife Jennifer Lopez and the fight against alcoholism. Ben also answered questions about his career in the film industry, which has not always been easy.
I became – unwittingly – the face of actor’s alcoholism and the fight against addiction. And the best part about it is that sometimes people call me and say, “Hey, can you help me?”. And I’m so glad to do it. The main trick of the 12 steps is that they want you to help other people, because in this way you help yourself. And often I tell addicted people that if I were them, I would not publicly talk about addictions. You don’t have to be someone’s role model. No need to tell anyone.
Ben Affleck has been treated for alcohol addiction several times. The actor spoke publicly about his problems in social networks, interviews and various shows. Among other reasons, he cited difficulties in work and difficulties in marriage with actress Jennifer Garner, with whom he has three children, as reasons for alcohol abuse.
Also in an interview, Affleck said that Jennifer Lopez helps him run social networks. The actor noted that he is very cautious about his statements because of the negative experience. Ben shared that in many of his interviews, the words were misinterpreted by journalists.
She thinks my experience has made me very cautious. And she’s right. I see these things as very dangerous, I think that if you say even one wrong thing, your career will be over. I had a really painful experience when I did interviews where I was very candid and everything ended up being turned upside down and the opposite of what I really meant. So she told me today, “Relax, just be yourself. Have fun. You’re a really funny guy, real and sincere, you just seem so serious.”
Recall that the wedding of Ben Affleck and J. Lo took place at her husband’s estate a month after the secret ceremony in Las Vegas. The actor and singer met in 2001 and soon began dating. They were engaged, but the wedding was canceled, and soon the stars broke up. Later, Affleck married actress Jennifer Garner, and their marriage lasted 13 years: they have two daughters and a son. Lopez was married to Marc Anthony and they have two children together. Earlier it became known that Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck chose a dream home worth 2.5 billion rubles. The mansion is located in the exclusive area of Pacific Palisades in Los Angeles.
