Nearing 30 uninterrupted years in Hollywood’s spotlight, Ben Affleck’s film resume is as impressive as it is long. GQ puts the American actor and filmmaker through his paces, as he answers one question for (almost) every film he’s done. After being turned down for the ‘big roles,’ Ben together with friend Matt Damon were inspired to write the script for Good Will Hunting. Fast-forward some years, Ben’s portrayal of Chuckie Sullivan catapulted him into a career trajectory like no other. Blockbuster roles such as Christian Wolff in The Accountant and Nicholas Dunne in Gone Girl sit nicely alongside his box office filmography — Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Armageddon, and Pearl Harbor to name a few. Affleck’s rollercoaster career has experienced both the highs and lows of any modern-day Hollywood maven (yes, we’re talking about Gigli). Here, Ben takes a ride on that rollercoaster and gives GQ an insight like never seen before.
