As you might have read yesterday, after a great deal of soul-searching (and no, he didn't find one) Ben Affleck has finally identified why his films have been doing so badly, and guess what? It's all Jennifer Lopez's fault.
Polishing his brass neck, he complained about the press to... Details magazine, pouring his heart out with no sense of irony, or style.
"It was probably bad for my career," he boo-hooed. "What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody."
Now I may be wrong, but I seem to remember that Affleck was a terrible actor prior to beginning his relationship with Lopez in 2002. And after they split in 2004, he's been an even worse actor, so where's the logic, Mr Teak?
For any Ben fans out there, one word - 'Daredevil'. A performance so wooden that the film would have been far better had they removed all his dialogue and subtitled the word 'TIMBER!' every time he opened his mouth.
