Esso49 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Who cares ? Just another overpaid actor who thinks they are somebody, but in terms of what they give back to the world, are actually nobodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben looks rough in that photo. Maybe the stress of dating his new girlfriend: https://people.com/movies/playboy-model-shauna-sexton-poses-topless-reveals-what-appreciates-man/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 It can be a real challenge to be extremely successful as an actor and director, be at the pinnacle of one's career, have tens of millions in the bank, be tall and good looking, and highly respected by one's peers. He may not be a great actor, but he sure is a great director. What a shame. What can one say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as some of you like the play down the significance of movie stars, in today's society, they are the new Gods. The equivalent to Zeus, Jupiter, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo and Hermes to the ancient Greeks. Like it or not, these people are idolized by hundreds of millions. And he really does care. He puts alot of time and effort into charity, unlike some cold hearted individuals who completely lack a charitable bone in their bodies, like Trump. In addition to his successful film career, Affleck is also a passionate advocate and philanthropist. In March 2010, he founded the Eastern Congo Initiative (ECI), the first U.S.-based advocacy and grant-making initiative wholly focused on the mission of helping the people of eastern Congo support local community-based approaches that create a sustainable and successful society in the long-troubled region. Affleck is also a longtime political activist, as well as a strong supporter of many charitable organizations, including Feeding America, Paralyzed Veterans of America, A-T Children¹s Project and the Jimmy Fund. http://www.feedingamerica.org/about-us/partners/entertainment-council/ben-affleck.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krataiboy Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Losing his looks, judging by the photo. Probably early onset of mid-life crisis which usually doesn't hit us Beautiful People until our fifties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TGIR Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 New Gods? Give me a break. A "god" is supposed to be other-worldly, not an ordinary human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeeKay Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 It's like a horse race. Him and Matt Damon broke together but Damon is like Secretariat and Affleck is a Sham pardon the pun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argo: Best Picture Oscar (Affleck and Clooney producers). Addiction is tough, sad to see this news. Jennifer Garner's new film looks awesome: Peppermint, where she channels Liam Neeson.
