![]() He added, “I do think it disincentivizes people from making their lives better.” (He has a point.)Ībout being meme’d all the time, though: “At a certain point,” said Affleck, “I am who I am.” That raises a whole other thing about whether or not it’s wise to acknowledge addiction because there’s a lot of compassion, but there is still a tremendous stigma, which is often quite inhibiting.” “ they were like, ‘He’s drunk.’ And I thought, that’s interesting. Nobody ever once said I’m drunk,” he said. I’ve gone to award shows and been drunk, a bunch. “I’ve gone to events and been pissed off.

You’re actually a fun guy who is real and genuine and you just seem so serious,’ Do I seem serious?” he joked. ![]() “Once they start golfing, you just don’t ever see them again.”)īut back to hype-woman J.Lo, who’s been encouraging Affleck just not to be so serious.
