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
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..

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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.
I have always loved this guy. One of the few actors who is genuinely beautiful!! When he smiles and laughs is just Awesome!! Wish him well on him and his family.
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.

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!!

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.
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.

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!

@@gabrielp9646 exactly he played they character three times the first cinema crossover and they didn't even let him get one and Robert Pattinson out of nowhere gets it 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
@@gabrielp9646 not for a super hero been Affleck is the better Bruce Wayne and Batman and does Pattinson have any Oscars at all?? What was the last thing he was even nominated for
I think it was Ben who wanted out. His three times were spread over how many years? And he was staring down a potential trilogy of stand alone films... He wasn't a fan of having to stay in that type of shape as it was. The idea of having to maintain that for another 7-10 years was probably very unappealing. Add to which, he clearly prefers more simple, dramatic stories and films that have less demand as far as press tours, fan events, etc... All of which is disappointing, because I thought he was a great Batman, but he was also going through a divorce, pouring his heart and soul into 'Live by Night' (writing WHILE he was on set doing Batman) and it hurt him when it was largely ignored on the press tour for it because everyone just wanted to talk about Batman, plus addiction issues, etc... I think, ultimately, it's just another example of the cost being too great, despite the potential outcome being pretty great as well. I respect him for stepping away from it for any of those reasons, and plenty more I'm sure.
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.
Ben telling the story about his son and Adam is really touching. Both incredible actors. I've got a lot of respect for both of them. 🤟🏼

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
Omg so good to see him relaxed and chilled again!!!
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
I got emotional when Ben got emotional about Adam. 😭😭😭
One of the best interviews lately, hilarious😂
Even if it's TV and pretending and all that... He seems so much happier than he did for the past 4 or 5 years it's really nice to see
Ben Affleck is such a sweetheart!! It's good to see him doing so good right now.
Jimmy cracking up when Ben Affleck roasts Matt Damon... Classic!
Love you Ben!!! I laughed so much during this interview! Thank you for the inspiration!!

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.
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.
Happy to see him energetic and happy, wishing him good health
He looks so healthy and happier, I love you Ben! ❤️
We need Ben Affleck AND Matt Damon on the show!! Also that story he told about his son and Adam Driver was absolutely beautiful!!
Always loved me some affleck ever since seeing him on the actors studios. That smile ahhh
It's so good seeing Ben going these shows, so good to see him! ❤
I’m glad more people will know how great of a person Adam is. He really is a sweetheart
Adam seems to be so humble and kind! And Ben! What a wonderful story!❤️👏🏼 can’t wait for their movie!!!

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.
Loved this whole interview ❤️

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 love Ben so much and am so happy to see him doing well...I am hoping he will get in the directing chair again he is truly talented!

Such a gorgeous man .I'm truly saddened he isn't batman anymore .he made a great batman .
GREAT to see him being so enthusiastic about life and work
I love him so much ❤❤❤I'm so glad he's doing better
I’ve missed the Matt Damon stuff!! It’s been a while!! :)
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.
This guy should have three solo Batman films
He should have at least one that´s decent.
@@gabrielp9646 exactly he played they character three times the first cinema crossover and they didn't even let him get one and Robert Pattinson out of nowhere gets it 👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿
@@SuperNinjasoccer No offense, but Robert Pattinson could make Ben Affleck cry, run away & hide under a table with his acting skills... xDxD
@@gabrielp9646 not for a super hero been Affleck is the better Bruce Wayne and Batman and does Pattinson have any Oscars at all?? What was the last thing he was even nominated for
I think it was Ben who wanted out. His three times were spread over how many years? And he was staring down a potential trilogy of stand alone films... He wasn't a fan of having to stay in that type of shape as it was. The idea of having to maintain that for another 7-10 years was probably very unappealing. Add to which, he clearly prefers more simple, dramatic stories and films that have less demand as far as press tours, fan events, etc...
All of which is disappointing, because I thought he was a great Batman, but he was also going through a divorce, pouring his heart and soul into 'Live by Night' (writing WHILE he was on set doing Batman) and it hurt him when it was largely ignored on the press tour for it because everyone just wanted to talk about Batman, plus addiction issues, etc... I think, ultimately, it's just another example of the cost being too great, despite the potential outcome being pretty great as well. I respect him for stepping away from it for any of those reasons, and plenty more I'm sure.
Waaw thats really nice of Adam driver☺️👏🏾 Ben is one of the best actor dads 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
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.
Ben affleck deserves an Oscar for when hes talking about adam driver and the presents. What a top bloke
