Ben Affleck's movie career is hot these days. He starring in the David Fincher movie adaptation of Gillian Flynn's bestselling novel, Gone Girl, he is also up for the iconic role of Batman in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman movie. But his personal life, has been in the limelight lately as well with rumors of an impending Ben Affleck Jennifer Garner split.
The 42 year old actor recently sat down in Details magazine for its October cover story to talk about his movie career, and to clear things up about his personal life. He relates to the men's magazine that he was very much interested in doing the Nick Dunne role for Gone Girl. He says, "I don't read too many airport husband-and-wife-killer thrillers, but my guess is that what set this apart is that Gillian is very skillful, obviously. And it points more specifically, more elegantly, and more directly at this theme that we all kind of identify with, on some level, about marriage, about relationships, about what we show one another. And that was adeptly wrapped in the shell of a thriller. But underneath it was something thematically more resonant than your common thriller."
The actor also addressed the infamous Ben Affleck Jennifer Garner divorce rumors. "See, that's tabloid sh*t. That's all bullsh*t. They completely lie. I mean, I can show you 10 articles of Star and OK!-those magazines feel totally comfortable absolutely fictionalizing every single element of the story," Affleck says. "And there's nothing you can do about that. My only hope is that people with any common sense recognize that those stories are false. And, I don't know, there are worse stories..."
To further dispel these divorce rumors, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have in fact appeared in their own delightful ALS Ice Bucket challenge video. The actor is shown being dumped with an ice bucket by his Alias star wife. Ben then proceeded to grab Jennifer and jumped in the pool with her, while their kids could be heard laughing hysterically in the background.
