As an introvert I understand. You want to express yourself but also want to be invisible.
Exactly
Wanting to express oneself through a medium and industry which is conducive to mass adulation and public scrutiny while desiring to remain anonymous and invisible does not work, I believe. To top it off, being married to a super high- profile celebrity makes it all the more impossible.
Yes. As an introvert myself I always say that my super power is invisibility and I would hate to lose it.
No introvert would put themselves out there like this for this long.
@@christopappageorge827 You got that right!
It's actually nice to hear him address this.
He knew about Harvey Weinstein and did NOTHING.
@@user-xh8gs6jg1e He knew about Harvey Weinstein and did NOTHING.
….he’s an actor.
He practiced this bit.
Woke means sleep.
I respect he is being so brutally honest. NOW I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY HE LOOKS SO DISPLEASED BEFORE the CELEBRITY ATTENTION, especially because JLO IS CONSTANTLY IN the PUBLIC EYE.
I’d like to hear him address the flight logs he was on
I don’t think I’ve ever heard a celebrity put it that eloquently. I can absolutely respect that
He has a highest iq amoung them
Yeah it’s like he broke some sort of wall
Both he and Matt Damon are great at this. I hope they make a film about the ride and what it’s really been like
The dude only bangs and marries celebrities.
That shatters his entire argument.
Certainly wouldn't say eloquently. Passionately, seemingly genuinely sure. He stumbled over a few phrases here. No hate, just no eloquence either
Dude is being bluntly honest
Except that he didn't mention so the cash he also gets
And speaking so much damn truth. Fuck
Don't go out with j lo 😂😂😂
No he loves the attention. Or he wouldn't be on a talk show giving a speech on how he doesn't like attention lol
Thanks captain obvious. You’re doing God’s work….
I like how he snuck in "I do not even love being here" lmao😂😂😂
Yeah lol noticed that too
I completely understand him. Introverts get to be misunderstood as rude or arrogant. He explained it very well.
I’ll bet he was rude and arrogant to the kids on the island
The most understandable and reasonable response ever.
Absolute horseshit (Ben's comments, not yours poster). They don't want the negative attention, but love all the benefits. The money, the women, the perks, the adoration.... By definition an actor HAS to be a narcissist. Your very existence depends on the focus of the public. There is no question the public's obsession with celebrities must be a nightmare, not to mention the paparazzi. But you can always walk away.... Many of them do. That's why I've got little sympathy.
Response to what?
@@Lucas-fo8cito fame as a whole.
Hes full of it 😂
Don’t be so gullible. He loves the attention. They all do. That’s not even a judgment or me saying they’re bad for loving the attention. But they do. This quote sounds good, and he gets to play the reluctant star, and I’m sure he and most of them get frustrated with certain aspects of their fame sometimes, but overall they choose this, they want this, and they’d rather have it than watch it go away. And don’t even get me started on the money. They (understandably) love that too.
It’s nice to hear his side of things instead of us assuming and enabling whatever the media/paparazzi paints him out to be in whatever pictures they take
All the introverts are nodding, all the extroverts think he's a liar.
I'm an introvert and i don't believe him. He has bad reputation and i'm sure he's lying.
I’m an introvert and I think he’s a piece of shit, hypocrite and liar.
@@julialovato1254no one cares what you think lol
@@RATKINGPLUG same about you and the guy i answered for 🤷♀️ no one care about us, the only person who care is your mom lol. Even if you have a partner, today you love each other, the other day you broke up
I’m an introvert, and I most definitely don’t believe him. 1. His actions show he’s lying. 2. He’s a self absorbed elitist. 3. He’s way too talkative to be an introvert.
Totally agree with not idolizing people for pretending to be a character.
In places like LA though, few people are that flat as to confuse you for your “characters” they may appreciate the stretch between the various characters because that is more of an acting challenge. However in this day and age, fame has increasingly become a liability to many. Because we have a military state which favors corporate interests so that fan chatting to you while getting an autograph maybe an PI or attorney looking to get deets to sue your ass.
@@pearpo Im sure the psychology of being an actor isnt great, but im generalizing and believe people shouldn't idolize people pretending to be something they aren't. That would absolve a lot of problems in general.
There’s an art to be being a great actor and it’s very difficult to portray a fictional character and/or an actual person and make it come to life. Being able do research where you have to understand every aspect of the characters persona from their mannerisms, their speech patterns, their demeanor, they way they walk, their world view is something that’s extremely difficult to do. Nobody should be idolized but they should be respected for the art they’re able to bring to life and move to people to laughter, tears, thought provocation, insightfulness, etc.
@@vincew4297 There's a fine line between respect and idolizing. The fact people in general can't delineate between the two is the problem, thus the reason im saying people shouldn't be idolized regardless of talents.
@@ThePowerOfTheD so what people have you met that you’ve seen idolize actors
He is actually a really smart and well spoken person
Almost like it’s his job
Anyone who writes good Will hunting surely has a bit of that
Very smart and well spoken… his parents are very smart and well educated! Ben is so much more than just an actor!
And speaks very good Spanish lol
He's not that bright but he can read lines and make pretend real good.
He seems very sincere and open hearted!
Yeah let’s see him be sincere and open hearted about the flight logs he was on
No one is built for fame that's why so many famous people have bad endings. Respect him for acknowledging this.
Kim K is 😂
And J.Lo
I respect him for saying that, and as a fellow introvert, I can 1000% relate to the feeling of just wanting to do your thing and then be left alone.
He doesn’t have the balls to admit that he wants to reap the rewards of fame and fortune, but doesn’t want to experience the drawbacks of fame and fortune? You can’t have one without the other.
The part where he said “very profoundly”, is when he meant that he wants to be paid very profoundly. Not perform.
@@JohnPedderwell aren’t you a negative ball of energy
@@Luay91 not my fault that you can’t see his narcissistic tendencies. Wouldn’t surprise me if you’ve been a victim to one
Isn’t it part of his job is to be exposed?!? A person who keeps complaining is hard to watch!!
He wants to do movies but not be famous
I’m glad he addressed this. What an eye opener to understand he just wants to express something through his work and not be apart of the “famous part”. I don’t blame him one bit. No one wants to be on public display…
Of course he wants to be apart of the “famous part”. He visited the island after all. I’d like to see him address that
I love when he opens up like this. The people who don’t want to talk are the ones who should talk
💯
I’d love to see him open up about the flight logs he was on. But I doubt he’d do that
I met him IRL years ago in London, and he was quite sweet. We had a really interesting conversation whilst at a bus stop having a cigarette (he borrowed my lighter 😁). He defintely is a bit shy and quiet, yet very easy to talk to.
I met him IFL back in 2007. What a fu#*ing asshole!
I do believe that he's shy. It comes across
He smoking ? I doubt it
@@D.B.Cooper13you haven’t seen photos of him smoking?
@@D.B.Cooper13he’s been smoking for ages now
What he’s saying makes perfect sense. Respect for that
Yeah, the guy sitting in stage looking into a camera doesn't want fame.
He doesn't want to be criticized. That all he said. He doesn't like it when people say things he doesn't like.
He wants the attention and the money but criticism.... ughh.
No it doesn’t make sense, he wanted to be an actor… fame comes with being actor. If fame is not what he wants then he shouldn’t have became an actor
It's not true and self serving, but it makes sense.
But then he marries a woman who lives for fame. What's up with that?
what is up with marrying the woman you love? You don't know? Of course you don't, no one will ever marry you lol@@alexanderh9878
Bens a simple dude he just wants to go to work, smoke some cigs, sip on some dunkin and have jlo sit on his face
I see nothing wrong with that,
Who wouldn’t? Lol
Jlo would want to put it out there for all to see
Sounds like a dude from Mass.
Isn’t that what we all want at the end of the day? 😂
No amount of money would make me give up my non familiarity status , to be unknown is priceless ❤
I have nothing but respect for him to say that you want to do the job but you don’t want the other stuff to come with it perfectly understandable
But, that is his job.
bullshit, lol. then don't take multi million dollar paychecks. If that were true, he would do local plays.
I have nothing but disrespect for him. The guy was on the flights logs after all
I love his honesty. I can’t imagine being a celebrity. All that attention and no privacy. It would be horrible. I would feel the same way if I was in his position.
Right? It does not seem desirable to me at all.
People just hate on affleck for no reason. What he's saying is true, every job has a part that people hate to do, and he hates the celebrity aspect of it and you know what he's right, ever since his fame paparazzi has been way too interested in his personal life which has taken a toll on him obviously, I mean think about it, the amount of attention you get when you just wanna get home? Damn, that is horrible. I get where he's coming from
I dislike Ben Affleck since he pretends to know what he's talking about, is ignorant on important topics, and smears/slanders those who do know what they are talking about. He lost all my respect after his appearance on Bill Maher's show with Sam Harris. He is an actor. He knows nothing about the real world.
@@BobHoskins905 lmao seriously? He said that Muslims are people too? Was that the hot take you hate him for? Damn. And listening to Sam? The guy who doesn't mind if hunter Biden has dead kids in his basement? That the guy? Sure man, get on with your hate
@@BobHoskins905what??? Where do you think he Is born?? On Mars ??? He had a life before becoming an actor
@user-bp4zt8fg1e ah yes, cus defending a religion is bad, and defending it's adheres even worse right? Especially defending against Sam 'I don't care about dead babies in hunter's basement as long as I can hate on trump' harris, am I right?
Seriously the gall on you people
@user-bp4zt8fg1ewhat did he say? I only know him from some movies but that he openly talks about religion, now this is interesting
I can see why the two Jens fell in love with him. He's attractive, as real as a celeb can be, honest, self reflecting, funny, intelligent...
I’m the same way. People who are introverts aren’t people that are painfully shy or socially inept, we don’t need people to feel that good. We enjoy being around people for a short time, usually have a great time, and can be last rhe leave the party. But we need days after to be alone or with our loved ones to recharge. We find many ways to entertain ourselves and feel happy. So kudos to Ben for being so honest. I can’t even imagine the terrible life of being a celebrity and being commented on on every aspect of my life. No wonder they’re nasty to the paparazzi - I would be, too.
This is true best I've heard it described is introverts charge their own batteries and extroverts charge their batteries when they're out with people
Glad to see some people actually know introvert doesn’t mean you’re shy or have social anxiety. It also doesn’t mean you hate people.
Beautifully said.
I agree it must be stressful for him but I don’t feel bad for him, it’s a choice.
If he didn’t think the pros outweighed the cons, he has enough money to disappear somewhere remote until the public forgets about him, then come back and just have an almost normal life,no paparazzi, only a handful of mega fans stopping him for pictures
Very correct 💯
Will never forget that last scene from Good will hunting. Just brilliant acting from Ben and Matt
Was that the one about the gay guys who read poetry in a cave?

I like him even more now. Lol
That’s why he said it lmao textbook narcissist
@@Butchass6969Everyone is a fuckin psychiatrist these days.
@@Butchass6969 Nah, think about it. He isn't a head line hunter. About the only time you see his name is because Jennifer Lopez is attached to it. He isn't out campaigning for some politician. Of course he has done some talk shows. Kinda goes with being an actor. He actually been pretty quiet throughout his career. I like Ben Affleck. Tom Cruise, there's your text book case.
I like him even less. He is full of shit. Sounds good, thinking its what people want to hear.
@@Butchass6969ya for real 😂
So refreshing to actually hear this. Good on him for being honest.
"I don't like it. You can keep it." I love that. Well said, Ben. All of it. Very well said. ❤
Tell him to give back all his millions......to a charity perhaps
@Paul-sl9zm Pretty sure he's donated. His money comes with his *Career* That's what a stable career is. He can donate as much as he wants. However, He still has to make a living for himself, ya dig? He's a man with a family. And he's got his head on straight. And he's sober. *THAT'S* What matters. He doesn't enjoy his fame. But he *does* enjoy his craft. 👍🏽
@@blackdogbrown
He enjoys his craft.....but wouldn't do it for free, he obviously loves the money that comes along with it, yet has the audacity to complain about fame. Quit films then, act on stage in local theatre productions if you truly love the "craft"
@Paul-sl9zm You sound super ignorant. Do it for free?? No one does anything "for free." Especially not a career with a family to support. In the words of the Joker from TDK, "If you're good at something *never* do it for free" TF?? What do you think the writer's strike was all about?? 🤦🏽♀️ And Ben doesn't just "act" he writes scripts, and he makes films! He already started small in the very beginning of his career. He did the "theater thing" already. As have MANY famous actors, Denzel, Sir Patrick, James McAvoy, Sebastian Stan, Hugh Jackman, etc etc etc.
You *do* know there are a lot of actors out there that hate the "fame" part??? Many have spoke on it. They want to act and be left alone. That's why many thrive on privacy. Tom Holland himself has recently spoken of this.
The biggest issue for Ben is that he married a freaking extrovert narcissist, and he has to keep up with appearances. He hates everything Jen loves. Before he married Lopez, he was very private. Which was a great thing because throughout his career, he's been wrongly criticized.
@blackdogbrown
You sound super triggered 🤣
Writing an entire essay in Ben's honour.
Ben would be working construction in Boston of it wasn't for his talented best friend Matt Damon.
Respect him for saying this, such facts!!
I love when people people are transparent. Good for him.
I I love love when when people people people people are are transparent transparent. . Good good for for him him. .
I squared your sentence lol lol lol lol
You can tell he is being completely honest here. He does strike me as someone who does not like the fame and attention, as a result people may misunderstand him.
Ben Affleck is insanely talented and I totally get and respect his feelings here. Not everyone is a people person and I wish society would respect that with actors.
talented at what?
He is in Matt Damon shadow !
How many awards have you won? How many movies have you directed?
He might not be a superstar, but he is talented.
If he were a woman saying the same thing would you be giving her that same respect? Women say this all the time and they're insulted for it.
@@megowopwop8545I dread to to think of all the sleep he loses over the fact that his talent does not exceed that of some faceless goon who makes bitchy remarks in the UA-cam comments section.
Ben doesn't owe me anything more than the art and entertainment he's already given me.
First of all, you big dummy, he doesn’t owe you anything to begin with, he doesn’t owe you entertainment. Saying that is just stupid. Second, you’re feeling sorry for a rich celebrity that does nothing more than mimic.Whoa!!! Have some perspective. Please. I suppose maybe you mean something that I don’t understand because I don’t know who you are. The reason I say that is because when I call you a big dummy if you knew me, you’d know that that would be me just pointing out the obvious. It’s sad that I have to say that out loud but in today’s society when you read a post like that, it’s pretty clear most people are thinking. Delete that thought most people are not thinking at least not with their own brain.
Well said
@@tyleryurasits9352 Thank you! I feel the same about any actor, artist, musician, writer, athlete, comedian, entertainer, etc.

Respect his honesty.
He's too dumb to punch his way out of his paper bag
And people will still willfully ignore these facts and insist that he’s furious all of the time and that “he’s so unhappy” etc. hits home for me cause I’m introverted and relate deeply
He's so blatantly honest. Have to love him ❤
Ben, his sincerity, mannerisms, and voice reminds me a lot of the great James Caan. Two excellent actors.
You gotta be kidding Affleck is likable but not even in the same universe as James Caan as an actor
@@bto330levels
Johnny Depp feels the same way, but he’s so appreciative of his fans. He gives his time and energy to them but he doesn’t like press and he doesn’t like talking to journalists and he doesn’t trust Hollywood and he definitely doesn’t like being famous because he likes to just cruise around and be left alone to do his own thing
You can tell Johnny depp is genuine
Ben affleck is a phony
I admire that Johnny is so humble he's never even watched his own movies
@@skyclad89how is not watching your movies being humble? 🤡😄
@@DonovenGrey Humble: having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance.
That's just the way I see him. Not conceited. Not sure how that makes me a clown, but ok. Have a nice day.
It's actually when they were starting to were craving the tension and fame and all that they don't have that they have it, they get all the money, but they don't want the attention. So how does that work
Tell us how ya really feel Ben-
“I don’t even love being here…”
That was really eloquently honest
Well said. I've never heard him like this before. Really humanises him.
The irony is his humility and honesty just makes you want to meet and talk with him even more.
What a catch 22.
He wants the millions and access to Jlo but not the part that makes that possible. Oh and he still wants to express himself "PROFOUNDLY" Just don't try to talk to him or ask him questions. Throw money at him, respond in a way he likes to his profundity, and go tf away. So humble.
Actually, it makes him seem more insufferable.
So glad you explained this so honestly!! You are so talented!!!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!!🎄
A true artist feels this way
I love this man! He's always just himself!
Ben is one of those actors in Hollywood that's a real person that just wants to work and make good movies and I think Matt Damon is the same way love these guys!
Matt Daaamoon
His trajectory has been pretty amazing tbh
Ben: I'm not a narcissist and hate being a celebrity
Also Ben: marries the fakest celebrity on earth
They’re both from Cambridge, MA my hometown. I’ve always heard wonderful things about Matt Damon, positive things about Ben Affleck, and negative things about Casey Affleck. My exes mom was in the same grade as Casey and knew him from a very young age. One of my mother’s closest friends is very friendly with Ben and Casey’s mother. Back when Bennifer first started she apparently was not a big fan of JLO although I’m sure things have changed now
He said all of that so well. Impressive
Such an eloquent and intelligent man.
that last line is so real, i just want to do my JOB and forget about the celebrity part
There are way bigger celebrities who maintain their privacy really well that it makes me wonder why those who complain about being harassed, can’t maintain it themselves. I never see Pitt or Clooney or DiCaprio getting swarmed to the point of freaking out.
@@TrewlPatrol probably because people online will shit on them if they did say something about it, and call them an asshole or whatever. either way no one should have to seriously struggle for a bit of privacy. like he says acting is literally just their job, not pandering to strangers. its just weird to some people and hes being honest so i gotta respect it
Did anyone else notice his energy throughout this whole conversation?
This guy is back. 👌
Yes !
I've literally never heard him like this. I feel like he's reached a new place he hasn't been before.
I like him. He seems genuine.
Such an intelligent man who explains his situation very well, very eloquently
I felt the same way, once back in high school I wanted to be an actress and then as the years went by I realized how terrible fame was and that I’m not particularly a person that likes to draw too much attention to myself. Now I’m pursuing being a writer/ movie director, the other day I came to realize that if I was going to reach the level of success of my idols that would come with the fame too. It doesn’t mean I won’t create work it just means that if I want to become a Scorsese there would be compromises I’d have to make. There’s different ways of dealing with fame.
I also want to be a director. But I’m not sure where to start. I live in the Midwest and it’s weird that we watch movies all the time, but then we act like being a director is impossible. I know it’s not impossible, I just don’t know where to start.
Do you have any ideas or advice on that?
It’s not often I run into someone else with the same dream.
@@prestonowens4594I wish both of you great luck!I also want to become a director btw
@@prestonowens4594 unless you plan on taking film classes or going to a film school… The best way to do anything involving the entertainment industry is to just start creating. Find someone who has a project, or wrote some thing that you think would be fantastic if you put on film, and work with them to create a visual representation of their writing… Then just look into as many directors as you can, interviews, books, etc.… Any and all information in regards to directing alongside actually applying your passion of directing into any project you can get your hands on… it will all start coming together. The real trick that seems to be the thing that no one talks about is just start doing it. I don’t mean with just directing, but anything in life that you really want to go for. Just start doing it, and ask questions as you go. Nobody knows everything right at the beginning… In fact, most know nothing, but your willingness to get the ball rolling, as well as learn as you go, will eventually get you to achieve your dreams.
@@prestonowens4594write a story, film if, screen it for people, get their feedback, do another one and try addresses the consensus of your shortcomings, repeat 2 or 3 times then you have demystified the process, then apply at a film school or if you think you are goof, submit to a festival.

Thats the beneft of his job, not celebrity.
Having "millions" doesn't make you happy. Not everyone cares about money. It just helps, but it's not *everything* .
@user-gb6mq2cf4h Money isn't "everything". It doesn't buy you love or happiness, and if YOU'RE the type of person that believes "Money is the most important thing in life" then we have nothing to discuss and you can take your money-hungry self elsewhere. 👍🏽

dude seems on the verge of tears, and I commend it.

I like Ben Affleck, may God bless him, sending love and blessings from Morocco North Africa
I can totally relate! His wife loves attention but he is more introverted and reserved. People take clips of their exchanges out of context not knowing the inward struggle for shy people in public.
Totally get it. Even when I see a celebrity in Baltimore, I just usually walk by and nod. I don’t want to make a scene. I wouldn’t want to be harassed while out shopping, dinning out or running errands. As for me, I don’t need to know their business.
Same here. I loved in NYC for awhile and I always just let them be. I'm an introvert too and I can't even imagine what a nightmare it most be to have people constantly in your face.
Imagine not being able to to got 7 11 spontaneously to pick up some potato chips without people mobbing you for your autograph and selfies
O well it comes with the fame
Yeah, they should think about that before the fact. Big babies
going from a regular joe to a celeb as quickly as they did, its been said its jarring. until one of us has been mobbed by 100s of people trying to talk to you at once, we shouldnt judge that part of it. at least he knows this about himself and expresses it. he doesnt try to pretend hes happy about it.
Dude it’s 2024 who goes to 7/11. There are things called sheets, Wawa, Cumberland farms
Unlike most actors he doesn't have an ego that needs to be fed. Respect.

I couldn’t agree more. Actors certainly shouldn’t be idolized
As an introvert Entertainer myself... it's really a deep-rooted need for validation, affection, Etc some people grow up with that, then some people don't.
Makes sense, who wouldn't want a great acting career, money, and no paparazzi. Sounds amazing.
Isn’t that what everyone wants? A great career, money, and no paparazzi? Don’t we all deserve to keep our personal life separate from our work? It’s a pretty basic request.
@@lazysod3 It's an unrealistic request in Hollywood. He should have picked a different career and married a non-celebrity if he wanted privacy.
@@B-ch6uk It’s not unrealistic. The majority of actors are able to do their work without paparazzi invading their personal lives. Most people do nothing to get on the cover of tabloids. It also doesn’t matter whether it’s realistic or not. It’s perfectly reasonable to point out when people in society are acting poorly, and anyone feeling entitled to someone’s personal life is certainly poor behavior.

Must respect for his honesty
"im shy" decides to be an actor 😂😂
Yes, it's possible. I don't care for crowds etc. But if I have to get up for a big speech or something , I do. Then I just want to be left alone for awhile after.
Different people, different needs.
I get what he's talking about. I'm an introvert too. Years ago I considered getting into acting but I was worried that they might expect me to do things I wasn't willing to do.
Yeah Ben, we know. We know.

The only time I hated you was in Mallrats, but that was the role and you played it beautifully. My mother has met you. She says you are shy, but very polite (and extremely good looking). You are underrated and you deserve more credit for your work. From me, you get it.

And him along with it
Proved a point I was making in other comments about when women say they don't like the fame, they are criticised. Affleck says it? Instant respect and belief in his words.

@vdoggydogg3922 you can love the money and hate the fame at the same time. I'm sure He understands that both go hand in hand, he just doesn't like it. Everyone has things that they hate about something that they love. I completely understand what he's trying to convey here.
He is a very skilled player of the world's smallest violin. I wish he was a great actor.
Everyone hearing, I get out of speeding tickets, restaurant eservations, I don't want in line at Disneyland . . .and wondering how disappointed you got it all without giving anything to society that is actually profound. You are an entertainer. That's it.
Great to see someone have so much respect for the acting industry...
@@obsidianwarrior5580he gave them more respect than they deserve.
He is a wealthy, famous entertainer. Sad. 😭
Actaully I like the way he explained it. This is a job and I think thaf after the performance, doing your duties, etc. you should be left alone like everybody else and not followed everywhere like some kind of prey. We are all humans.
“He is also the only person Ben Affleck has ever been faithful to. Please welcome Matt Damon” Ricky Gervais
Perfect explanation of the fame paradox. I need it, so I can do my job, but I don’t like the invasion of privacy. I would be exactly the same
He doesn’t like his privacy being invaded, but he invaded the privacy of children (and a lot worse) on the island with JE
The most valid take ive heard from a celebrity in a while
You just said a "celebrity" had a valid take on not wanting to be famous... do you know what the word celebrity means? I cant imagine thinking of someone who only furthers the wealth gap as a stand up guy. This guy cant even fuck J Lo right...
No, that’s from working he’s worked for the Money, fame is a byproduct of his working- there is a difference.
Raw honesty right there.
Ben: I’d like to just do my job and leave the celebrity part.
His current job: Celebrity
Nah, his job is actor/director/writer.
Thank you! I thought I was the only one here who was disgusted by this tone deaf malarchy. I’m really just an everyday person who hates being famous but hey, since I am I will live the high life in all the beautiful places the rest of the world can’t afford to step foot in.
His current job: actor, writer, producer.
@@Elizabeth-490Did you even try to understand what he said? I’m sure he’s fully aware that being famous is a byproduct of this profession and that he lives a privileged life but it doesn’t merit the invasion of privacy he receives from paparazzi and the media. The man just wants to act and direct movies lmao
@@Elizabeth-490 it means nothing if u cant enjoy that without cameras in your face 24/7. the people living the best lives are the filthy rich people no one really knows
WOW. I didn't know there were so many problems being rich and famous.
The worries of choosing food over medicine don't seem so bad anymore.
Thanks Ben.
This is such a small brained take from this. He is just talking about his own experience and doesn't even compare to anyone else's.
@@jarod9135you said it perfectly! How did they take that from this whole clip? People really just operate with blinders on sometimes! What a simple minded way of taking an honest opinion from someone and somehow making it about you.
Honesty a beautiful thing 😊
“I don’t want to be famous” but I became a Hollywood actor.
Makes perfect sense to me.
He should have stayed in Boston and served clam chowder to tourists then.
Way to misunderstand, exactly as he said people would. Are teachers expected to love grading papers? Are chefs expected to love cleaning dishes? Just because something comes with the job doesn’t mean you have to love every part of it. His job as an actor is to give a performance, it’s totally valid to not enjoy the paparazzi/invasion part of it. If you love everything about your job, good for you. But it’s totally okay for people to love what they do and to find issues with other parts.
I agree. He is full of $h!t. Why not exclusively do Broadway plays or be a local actor? He was the one who wanted to start in nationwide or worldwide movies that would (GASP) make one famous. How stupid.
"I don't want the fame. Just give me the millions of dollars."
Uh...literally doesn't work that way so YOU have to make a choice.
@@TheDylanHoang True nut nobody wants to hear a wealthy person complain.
Nobody wants to hear a poor person complain
Oh man I still remember when South Park made fun of him and I wonder if he still thinks about that.
Ewwwwwww Ben affleck splooge!
He should have a talk show called "Dialogue " with Matt, Ben, and Brady
He’s got to know the rules of the game in order to win.
It’s part of the package, can’t have one without the other.
And he has every right to say he doesn't like it. Good on him. He told us why he doesn't like it, and you choose to conflate his point into a posture that doesn't reflect his point at all. You gave a perfect example of why he said, "Fame? I don't like it at all... You can keep it."
A perfect example.
I agree. People who sign up to be famous complaining about being famous. I can't stand it. There is no excuse to be ignorant now. Because of fans and paparazzis, everyone should know by now what comes with being a well known actor or musician. I don't feel bad for him. I am not a fan of Ben Affleck, so I wouldn't stop to see him even if he was on fire, but this was the life he chose. He got up and said that he wanted to make movies that would earn him millions. Well, guess what? That comes with fame, and fame is a very extroverted and demanding status. I don't feel bad for him.
If it wasn't for the fame he wouldn't be making millions a picture. The more popular you are (famous), the higher your demand.
@@tarag7292 including yourself do you know anybody who doesn't complain about their job? Anybody?
@@Sketcher93 I guarantee you that they wouldn't be complaining half as much if they were making what Ben Affleck makes.
Oh puleez.
So he only likes being famous when it suits him. Gotta take good with bad or get out 6 business
Very true but of course youtube Zombies fail to grasp that in life you have to take the good with the bad at any job.
You think morticians enjoy bagging 3 day old leaking decomposed bodies? No, but the pay is fantastic.
Your name fits
@richardmayora1289 thanks put some thought into it😀
He hit the nail on the head for most people who assume someone has narcissistic tendencies. I can’t tell you how many times I hear people say someone else is narcissistic and it’s not even near its definition. The word literally felt like it became the new thing to say for 2023-24.
I totally respect that. It's like once your in and your famous your famous and all that comes with it. I couldn't be famous because I'm not even famous and hate attention at times.
I’m pretty sick of celebrities saying they don’t like being famous but continue to do everything they can to remain famous
Because they act? Because they are the type of artists that requires being on a screen…hummmm…ok
@@thespiritualninja7339 there are plenty of places to act where you don’t exploit yourself for fame. Plenty of actors that aren’t famous. You don’t accidentally become famous and stay that way unless you want it. And if you hated fame that much you wouldn’t do things that continue the fame. 🙄 if you believ him you’re fantastically gullible
EXACTLY He literally married a person whose the opposite of what he's describing
Should've worked it out with the other Jennifer if it's true🙄
@@Thepathof77 I just don’t think he can control it, his obvious disgust for the constant exposure seems authentic.
He’s a hypocrite!!
Will I find that interesting cuz you picked the most marketed woman on the planet to be in a relationship with where everything is built around social media and marketing her brand
And your basically a shity actor
Lol "picked her" like you choose who to be with out of a lineup based on the perks. Have you thought that maybe they were together because they liked each other? Papparazzi follow him anyway so whats the difference lol
@@gvngbvngiggy of course ...words weren't so literal
Yeah, but something I noticed back when they were together the first and then again now that they're married JLo has gone out of her way to be a more private person.
When she was with Combs, he's a rapper and rap producer so the public life is his scene. Marc Antony, another Hispanic pop star. Most musicians tend to live the night life. But both times with Matt she's shyed away from that kind of life.
@@ComaAlpha good point.
