Seeing him getting emotional telling his Adam Driver story and acting like a boy over Brady really melt my heart. I go through this video laughing and tearing up together with him. Ben’s an awesome storyteller and he’s got outstanding sense of humor. All the comedic timings are on spot. And finally he shows up on a talk show dressed this casual. Pairs well with his current state of mentality, light and fresh~~~ I’m loving this new look!!!
He struggles with addiction. I have the same struggle it makes you a fucken loser even when your not.. he feels like hes living a lie. Hes a good dude. Hes to hard on himself. I resonate with that
It’s great to see Ben doing well again. You can tell he was really struggling for the last few years, but how he opened up about his depression and addictions in the New York Times article was brilliant. I found myself relating to what he was saying. People want to continually hate him for past mistakes, but he’s trying to be a better person everyday. He’s got my support and utmost respect.
This is Ben Affleck not the dope who was always serious. If you watch all his past interviews when he was still married to Jennifer Gardner he’s just as animated. The struggling dude was quiet & would make eye contact.
@@astefani7363 well to be fair we don't really know. Could be a prescription or non prescription drug as well. He seems like a changed guy that wants to do the right thing. Wish him well..
You could look at his eyes at moments and feel his words. He showed us many emotions this interview. What they mean...we may not know right now but wish the best.

When people do something for your kids like that, it is a special gratitude. Especially after a divorce, sobriety issues, you work away and didn’t have a gift. Imagine being 8 and your hero sends you birthday gifts and video.
I love it when these "celebrities" show normal human emotions...like dad caring for son and stuff ....instead of bragging Abt their achievements and promoting the movies they are in!
They are all like that , at least most of them are like that, they are great human beings and live their life just like anyone else, they just happen to have more money, and their life is visible by us , their business is to entertain, and they keep as much of their private life hidden as possible ,since drama and problems sells more and gets more attention than what a happy story would .
@@jlbueno0611 LOL not even close. I live in LA, most famous people especially actors are some of the most vain people in the planet. They are completely disconnected from reality and have no idea how to even behave as normal people. Affleck is a rare breed to have been in the business so long but still be down to earth. But please don't act like that's the norm if you aren't around these people regularly.
This celebrity is especially "real". Ben Affleck has been fighting demons, battling alcoholism, etc. He's just a normal guy who loves his son, trying to do the right thing. Always seems to be very down to earth.
With Ben Affleck battling addiction, Adam Driver’s gesture meant more to him than it did for his son. I’m sure it’s not the first awesome thing anyone has done for his kids, but it probably came at a time when his insecurities as father needed it most, and he’s very thankful for it.
If you have Kids, have every battled through some tough personal issues, and bared your soul....How can this act of kindness not touch your heart? I needed that this morning. Have a great day everyone!
I really like this version of *Ben Affleck.* I know he had hard times in his personal life recently and he seems like he's in a good place. Happy to see him doing well 👍
Jesse Villarreal Ben has really had a lot of ups and downs, he had a lot of problems and depression but in the last year he is in great shape! With JLo next to him it will be even better, because she lives in good habits: she does not drink and does not smoke, we hope for him that he stops smoking.

Love these guys Ben, Matt and Mark and their love for the Patriots and Brady it’s just what makes New England different than any other part of the USA.
Ben looks genuinely happy in this interview, it's so nice to see. He's been through a lot lately, I hope he's better and will keep going forward. I feel like his character in the movie is inspired by what he himself went through. Anyway he deserves the best, I just love him.

This is actually how he normally is when he's sober and not struggling with his addictions, and how he's always been! It's really nice to see him he this way once again, it really shows he's healthy, happy and sober right now!! I'm very happy for him.
@@jimmylogan1866 Ben (in this interview) seems quite a bit more genuine and authentic than a lot of the other actors jimmy interviews on the regular, but thats just my opinion :o
"it's about a guy ...who's fallen on hard times, drinks a case of beer every day, works construction....separated from his wife ..obvs. in pain..." life imitating art? It was uncanny how immediately I was hit by the idea that the plot mimics his life ...
@@Memento--Mori You're right, you know, I think he may well be serious when he says this is the best acting he's ever done. I'm kinda looking forward to seeing this one.
I am happy to see Ben Affleck in a happy place. He's a top man and by how he talks about his son- a great dad. He's gone through a lot and I think now he's learnt so much from his past and is just being present and in the moment.
The story about Adam was so touching. You could see Ben talking from a very genuine place. So nice to see he was able to get his life together in order to show up for his kids. You can see he is not taking any moment with them for granted.
This was so entertaining :) Alcoholism is no joke, but it’s wonderful to see that Affleck still has a sense of humor. I think “The way back” will be an excellent film. We are rooting for you Ben!

Has there ever been a group of actors and celebs who are so affiliated that the first questions to each is about the other. Mark damaon afllack and brady deserve a boy band title. All of which gets attention when the other does something .
Sure Brady can go elsewhere and probably get more $$$ and/or better offensive weapons... but only New England can give him the unconditional love of Batman/Daredevil, Marhky Mark, Captain America, and Jason Bourne!
Hey Jimmy, you should Affleck, Walhberg and whats his face all together on your show and do a Tom Brady triva and see who really is his best friend. I am a Pats fan and i would love to see those three go toe to toe You can call it Brady's Best Friend in Boston?
This is a genuinely good idea, a panel of famous Bostonians grilled about Boston sports? I vote add Chris Evans, John Krasinski, Rachel Dratsch, Amy Poehler, and Conan o'Brien! Screw it, why not get Dropkick Murphys to be the musical guest, and get Tuukka Rask to fill in as security for Guillermo.
Andrew Silberstein that's actually how regular, sober Ben Affleck is though! When he's drinking and really struggling he actually gets very somber, is way more mellow than he normally is, has a shorter temper, doesn't joke a lot - nowhere near how much he normally jokes around, doesn't take others jokes or jabs about him well, doesn't even respond well to questions to him or interviews in general, looks super uncomfortable and very closed off, whereas here you can see him being very comfortable and open about himself, stories, his emotions, etc. If you're older and have been around since Ben and Matt hit Hollywood and have watched their movies and their interviews and whatnot, you'd know that this is how he is normally, when he's sober, and that he's a quite jovial, upbeat, jokester kind of guy that really does laugh a lot and have a good time and is almost hyper like. The alcohol quite literally depresses him, his attitude, emotion, character and how he acts overall! That's why it's so easy to tell when he's struggling with his sobriety, because he's a completely different person than he normally is, barely resembles himself at all, is very serious and closed off, barely cracks any jokes, doesn't laugh and kid around, is very sullen and short tempered and bitter. He looks good here, really really good!! He is his genuine, sober self here and I'm really happy for him!! You have to remember, everybody's alcoholism and/or drug/substance abuse manifests itself in completely different ways. So while for you, when you've been drinking, you're more upbeat, joking, laughing, a more hyper personality, etc and is an indicator to your family, friends & loved ones that you are most likely not sober and are struggling once again, vs when you're sober and are more calm, laid back, etc, that's not how others alcohol & drug issues manifest and what signs and symptoms their family, friends & loved ones look out for as an indicator there's an issue with sobriety. It sounds like you and Ben are the opposites - you being hyper, upbeat, joking and laughing a lot, etc is an indicator to your loved ones that you're struggling with your alcoholism, whereas, for Ben, that's what he's like when he's sober and is an indicator to his loved ones that he's doing well at the moment, is healthy and sober!! If you go back and watch a lot of his interviews on talk shows, red carpets, press tours for his movies, etc, you'd see really quick that this is how he normally is on an every day basis when he's sober, vs watching interviews when he's been struggling with his alcoholism and he's somber, doesn't joke and laugh about, is more closed off, short tempered, snippy and bitter. Ben looks really good here, very healthy, happy & sober, back to being dedicated to working on projects he's passionate about and being a present father and the best father he can be! I'm super happy for him!! Edit to add ; Congratulations on your sobriety and good luck to maintaining your sobriety and being as happy and healthy as possible!!
Twinkle Toes Jesus Christ man, why would I read all that lol. It was just a simple observation. I Didn’t think you’d write a New York Times OP-ED on it
When your trying to be a good father and bond with your son and you’ve tried everything and nothing works then you have this happen where your son thinks your the greatest person ever is a major brake through I understand it’s a really awesome story.

I love Ben Affleck. He’s so genuine and such a sweet guy. And a good dad.
Awe that Kylo Ren/Adam Driver story was too cute, he got choked up a little talking about it. Also his love for Tom Brady is adorable.

One of the best interviews with Ben that I have ever seen... very human.
Thanks for the support. It's my out most pleasure having you here, thanks for your support you have been giving me all these years, I won't be here if not for you my lovely fan. I hope you find joy and happiness in my movies? I will have to call you My Super Fan
I love him so much ❤❤❤I'm so glad he's doing better
Has there ever been a group of actors and celebs who are so affiliated that the first questions to each is about the other. Mark damaon afllack and brady deserve a boy band title.
All of which gets attention when the other does something .
Sure Brady can go elsewhere and probably get more $$$ and/or better offensive weapons... but only New England can give him the unconditional love of Batman/Daredevil, Marhky Mark, Captain America, and Jason Bourne!
What about Jim Halpert?
And Skip Bayless!
He could come to Arizona for a season... and make it the last season for Fitzgerald and get the last ring and the first ring easily 🤷🏻♂️
I love Adam Driver, he's my favorite actor right now.... he's super talented, humble and great with his fans.
Say what you want about Ben, but he is a loving father.
Ben seems like such a catch, he’s funny, down to earth, just overall cool and nice, but above all he’s so hot, I’m envious of JLo.
This is the best/healthiest I can remember Ben Affleck looking in an age--- dude, keep it up whatever is working for you.
Hey Jimmy, you should Affleck, Walhberg and whats his face all together on your show and do a Tom Brady triva and see who really is his best friend. I am a Pats fan and i would love to see those three go toe to toe
You can call it Brady's Best Friend in Boston?
Omg this is such a good idea!! It needs to happen :D
Plus I'm a Pats fan too so it would be really fun for me and all the other Pats fans out there!
@@rgrex1 make sure people shate this and Jimmy can see it.
They should also add Chris Evans and John K.🤣
This is a genuinely good idea, a panel of famous Bostonians grilled about Boston sports? I vote add Chris Evans, John Krasinski, Rachel Dratsch, Amy Poehler, and Conan o'Brien! Screw it, why not get Dropkick Murphys to be the musical guest, and get Tuukka Rask to fill in as security for Guillermo.
Affleck is buddies with cheater Tom Brady, have lost respect for him and you.
hmm i think hes sober, he looks healthier, keep up the good job
Andrew Silberstein yeah he’s either drunk or ACTING happy. Seemed really overdone. His attempts at humor were pathetic. So damn hyper
@@jst2889 Or... he is just happy?
Andrew Silberstein that's actually how regular, sober Ben Affleck is though! When he's drinking and really struggling he actually gets very somber, is way more mellow than he normally is, has a shorter temper, doesn't joke a lot - nowhere near how much he normally jokes around, doesn't take others jokes or jabs about him well, doesn't even respond well to questions to him or interviews in general, looks super uncomfortable and very closed off, whereas here you can see him being very comfortable and open about himself, stories, his emotions, etc. If you're older and have been around since Ben and Matt hit Hollywood and have watched their movies and their interviews and whatnot, you'd know that this is how he is normally, when he's sober, and that he's a quite jovial, upbeat, jokester kind of guy that really does laugh a lot and have a good time and is almost hyper like. The alcohol quite literally depresses him, his attitude, emotion, character and how he acts overall! That's why it's so easy to tell when he's struggling with his sobriety, because he's a completely different person than he normally is, barely resembles himself at all, is very serious and closed off, barely cracks any jokes, doesn't laugh and kid around, is very sullen and short tempered and bitter. He looks good here, really really good!! He is his genuine, sober self here and I'm really happy for him!!
You have to remember, everybody's alcoholism and/or drug/substance abuse manifests itself in completely different ways. So while for you, when you've been drinking, you're more upbeat, joking, laughing, a more hyper personality, etc and is an indicator to your family, friends & loved ones that you are most likely not sober and are struggling once again, vs when you're sober and are more calm, laid back, etc, that's not how others alcohol & drug issues manifest and what signs and symptoms their family, friends & loved ones look out for as an indicator there's an issue with sobriety. It sounds like you and Ben are the opposites - you being hyper, upbeat, joking and laughing a lot, etc is an indicator to your loved ones that you're struggling with your alcoholism, whereas, for Ben, that's what he's like when he's sober and is an indicator to his loved ones that he's doing well at the moment, is healthy and sober!!
If you go back and watch a lot of his interviews on talk shows, red carpets, press tours for his movies, etc, you'd see really quick that this is how he normally is on an every day basis when he's sober, vs watching interviews when he's been struggling with his alcoholism and he's somber, doesn't joke and laugh about, is more closed off, short tempered, snippy and bitter.
Ben looks really good here, very healthy, happy & sober, back to being dedicated to working on projects he's passionate about and being a present father and the best father he can be! I'm super happy for him!!
Edit to add ;
Congratulations on your sobriety and good luck to maintaining your sobriety and being as happy and healthy as possible!!
Twinkle Toes Jesus Christ man, why would I read all that lol. It was just a simple observation. I Didn’t think you’d write a New York Times OP-ED on it
@@jst2889 haha the level of ego to think somebody's going to read a novel
This guy deserves soo much more. Thanks alot for giving us the most badass batman on screen.
When your trying to be a good father and bond with your son and you’ve tried everything and nothing works then you have this happen where your son thinks your the greatest person ever is a major brake through I understand it’s a really awesome story.
11:40 broke my heart seeing the reset from being on to being back to sad.

He is emotive storyteller.
Like, who?
aj pat Ben Affleck is! Or do you not know what emotive means??
@@twinkletoes6290 I thought that you're referring to Matt Damon. Like, both of them are amazing storytellers, as evidenced on their work on Good Will Hunting.
I knew i loved ADAM DRIVER (the marriage story movie was his best performance in my opinion)and Ben Affleck just made me love him more.
Adam driver story @7:33 ☺️you’re welcome

Beat part of Ben is he owns his issues. God give him strength. He looks like a Prince.
Awww. He is such a Dad and loves his kids.
