Ben Affleck is still pissed he was FORCED to be “sexy” for his role in ‘Armageddon’

Oh. That was trying?

Jeez, he really needs to stop being interviewed for awhile.

Oh, wow, I forgot he used to have rat teeth...but he was still hot.

He always has such a sour disposition. It is very unattractive, imo. He seems to be a very unpleasant person to be around, much less to have to live with.

I saw that movie once on cable years ago but that terrible love scene with him walking an animal cracker up Liv Tyler stuck with me it was so bad.

Gummy rat teeth. He constantly whines. It's the unsexiest personality trait after racism, which is just another form of whining.

Anyone who is anyone hasn't been him on their radar for over 20 years.

He looked better.

I'm not sure what he's complaining about.

Ummmm he was big again from 2010-2014 r7

They were right to "fix" him, he became a very well-known movie star. It's nothing different than what other actors of all genders have had to endure for fame. Geesh.

What does he think J. Lo has had to do for her body and image?

So he has veneers?

No I think they’re his teeth. Rich people can pay to have their teeth moved.

There are rumors about him and other actors setting up people in a gambling ring or something wild like that. A nefarious group that lure easy marks into gambling games so they can take them for a large amount of money. Idk if it is true, but it sounds very shady.

Does he really think his pre Armageddon looks would have gotten him JLo?

R13 yes, years ago but he no longer does. Him, Tobey Maguire and others.

[quote] Ummmm he was big again from 2010-2014

Fat?

I haven't paid any attention to them at all so idk if he and Jho are still in a pretend we are still in our 30's relationship. Did the media stop paying attention too?

He's fun after a few drinks.

His career has been a gift. He should be Ben Affleck, the forklift driver.

R5 that scene was such a famous scene.

R19- Instead of gratitude he acts as if a heavy burden has been unfairly put upon him. And yet he stays when he could leave the business and live a quiet, private life. Entitled ass.

[quote]Gummy rat teeth. He constantly whines. It's the unsexiest personality trait after racism, which is just another form of whining.

Well, he did get that episode from [italic]Finding Your Roots [/italic] about his slave-owning ancestors quashed, so there's that.

R22- Omg! I had forgotten that! Thanks for the laugh!

I wish he would release a greased up topless calendar.

So long as we don't have to see his bottom parts. What with his flat ass and pencil-like legs...

This dropped today too

This is what you get when you have an innumerable number of half ass media media sites like Uproxx or HelloGiggles etc. They're only capable of producing prodigious who-the-fuck-cares articles.

OR

You the incredibly pretentious sites like The Hollywood Reporter or Entertainment Weekly with their laughably serious "roundtable" series as though they're "Meet The Press" or something. Like in the link below, the dolt from EW talks about watching "Once Upon a Time..." and how it "profoundly affected him" and he got choked up when hew drove around Los Angeles thinking about the movie. For fuck sakes, it's a movie! The way the interviewer simps for the people he's interviewing is awful!

R27 cool.

[quote] What with his flat ass and pencil-like legs...

Or nonexistent bosom.

If he feels like his beautiful new teeth are such a burden, he can always pull a Johnny Depp and just let 'em rot out. Will he whine then, too?

He should be more embarrassed about Pearl Harbor.

R11 He's very lucky then, because there are very few Veneers in thw world and they are very valuable.

He needs to be gagged

Michael Bay may be an asshole but he needed a heartthrob and pre-Armageddon Affleck wasn't going to cut it. This was post-Titanic.

Plus, we all know Affleck wanted to be a star so this bitching and complaining is a turn-off.

We don’t need to know everything, Ben. For someone that sure hate the press. He sure uses it a lot. Why is he on Daily Mail every damn day?

"Chasing Amy" was a shitty film, too, Ben.

[quote]He needs to be gagged

With Matt's cock.

[quote]No I think they’re his teeth. Rich people can pay to have their teeth moved.

That ain't how it works in Hollywood.

He left out the hair plugs.

It's like how Norma Jean became Marilyn the Stah!

He really needs to shut up, everything he's saying lately is just making him look like an even bigger douchebag than I thought he was.

400 Chasing Amys. How terrifying.

"400 Chasing Amys" seems like a direct threat to me.

Why R42? Is your name Amy?

Revival of Cats, now that's a direct threat to everyone!

Ben Affleck was the biggest famewhore on the planet the year Armageddon came out. This was his GQ cover:

Actors whining about having to work out with personal trainers while their personal chefs curate their meals is annoying.

Never forget that it was shooting Ben Affleck which directly led to Herb Ritts’s death.

If he doesn't want to look "sexy" he can always get fat. Not fat like he was a couple years ago, but Brando-late-in-life fat. Shamu fat. Go for it, Ben! Show everyone how much you just don't care, you rebel, you!

Yeah...what exactly was sexy about watching him put animal crackers in Liv Tyler's vagina or this shitshow of a scene ⬇️

OP- He should only complain about the roles when this QUEEN was forced to be STRAIGHT.

LOL - what a burden that must have been for you, Ben. He reminds me of those lazy straight guys who sit on the couch drinking every night and the wife has to FORCE him to look presentable when attending special events like weddings and funerals. And it's always a battle for them.

Most of us make an effort not to look like shit when we go to our jobs, and i'm talking jobs that don't require being shown on a giant screen to the public. He needs to grow up.

He is the whiniest actor on earth.

Wow, both Ben and Matt have sabotaged their own careers.

Ben and Matt have both proven themselves to be enormous Massholes.

Don’t like your job? It’s a burden being treated special? QUIT. Stop giving fucking interviews. Perhaps he has brain damage from all the liquor and drugs.

R53- That's why they're the perfect GAY couple

It's amazing that someone as messily unsober as him has never been pictured with his wiglet askew

I wonder if DLers ever think before posting. He was on the cover of many magazines to promote Armageddon because it was in his contract to do so. He did many interviews to promote the film because that is part of his contract.

Many of you seem to talk without knowing how the system in Hollywood works

R57 hahahahahahahahahaha yeah, okay.

Congrats to 2022 SAG Award nominee Ben Affleck.

R58 you don’t know that they’re contracted to promote the big studio films they’re in?

I heard he stinks

[quote]400 Chasing Amys

They've already written the soundtrack.

He is such an average looking guy. Not sure what the physical attraction is.

Seriously, he needs to shut up for a while.

For his own good.

And ours r64.

R4 is Jennifer Garner

R4 I think someone should set him up with Paulina Porizkova. They seem like they have a lot in common. She's only a few years older than JLo.

Does he really think the world was just waiting for him to be a Serious Actor?

[quote]Ben Affleck is still pissed he was FORCED to be “sexy” for his role in ‘Armageddon’

For the love of God...

Can Hollywood and Jennifer Garner please stop making this man's life a living hell?

I can see why he’s with J Lo now. They are both narcissistic assholes.

Sorry, but how can he not understand the industry he's in?

I keep wanting to root for him—I love a self destructive mess! But then he opens his mouth. He need to stop giving interviews—STAT!

Why can't he and Damon just STFU?

^ maybe his face buried in Matt's ass while Matt's face is buried in the pillow would shut them both up.

Oh, boo hoo. He cashed the check, didn’t he?

I’d love for someone to force me to be sexy everyday.

It must be so burdensome, to be blessed with good looks and Hollywood connections. Such a cross to bear. getting leading roles in box office blockbusters and being on the cover of magazines. Ben has truly had a difficult life.

This latest trend of performers rehashing past grievances in the guise of "opening up" or "relating" to current social issues is beyond annoying.

I despise him and Matt so much. They are the first celebrities who made me realize that it’s all just a machine. The entertainment industry, I mean. I’ve come to dislike so many people in showbiz. I’m guessing that social media has played a role in this. It’s so easy to use it to find dirt on people. Plus, they sometimes make tone deaf comments as well and they get caught and called out on it. Something happens to entertainers when they make it. In some ways, it was better before the internet. Folks still had a mystery about them. So much easier to embellish and hide things simultaneously.

I feel like this needs to be shown to every actor in Hollywood at least every couple of weeks.

But, this does explain Mark Wahlberg's industry appeal- an American rough trade type who doesn't bitch and moan.

Is this a humble brag? Not a good look.

Every half decent-looking actor/actress fixes their teeth and gets the buff bod. Affleck could’ve passed and gone back to being a stevedore or whatever “mythical” life he lived before he got lucky in Hollywood. He wouldn’t have been missed.

Did/does he think he was instead hired for his great acting?...

he hit the lucky jackpot because GOD KNOWS that there are countless actors out there way better looking, way better bodies and way better actors!..

R83 but do they have that “it” that makes a movie star? There is a difference between an actor and a movie star.

I can't stand this QUEEN - he's DUMB too.

He's been a guest on Bill Mahr's show and he couldn't keep up with the conversation. It was above his head. I did not know before seeming him on Bill Mahr's show how DUMB he was.

R84.. well surely some of them DO have the "it" factor if they were only given a chance, which 99% never do get for whatever and various reasons...

R84- Obviously John Travolta had IT in the late 1970's with Saturday Night Fever and six months later he had another hit with Grease and Urban Cowboy in 1980 but after those his IT factor disappeared.

R87 ummmm that’s not how it works. Having flops doesn’t mean you don’t have that “IT” factor.

One of those guys who is good looking but I’ve never found him remotely attractive. Maybe it’s his personality?

Well being good looking doesn’t mean you’re attractive sexually.

R90- A perfect example of this would be Christopher Reeves- he was good looking ca. 1980 but had NO sex appeal.

He’s a very good looking guy. But Casey is or at least was cuter.

Affleck in my little ole opinion is the DEFINITION of "generic".... EVERYONE on this board knows darn well that their are countless frat boy looking types in the u.s. alone with that similar look much less guys who are literally drop dead beautiful...

Does Affleck have great eyes? nope? Does he have great anything in regards to facial features? I don't think if I passed him on the street and he was john doe, I would give him even a second glance much less more...

I will admit he looked good in the Batman suit, but who wouldn't?

Here's Michael Jackson to cheer Ben Affleck and his rat teeth up!
