OK, in a manner of speaking, anyway. But it wouldn’t surprise me either way. In a recent interview, Affleck states that he doesn’t want to work with his wife in films, but for good reason:

“Jen is a great actress. I would be profoundly lucky to work with her. But something tells me that people don’t want to see real-life couples together at the movies … I think audiences have a hard time suspending disbelief. They already know a whole bunch of things about the relationship you have with the other person and if you try and thrust you and another person into a fictional relationship, I think it is distracting.”

The only thing audiences have a hard time suspending, Ben, is their restraint to choke the living shit out of you anytime you open your mouth. But maybe that’s just me.

    I’m confused, Sarah, what part of his statement is wrong here?

    doesn’t he also say in the same interview that if he could work with any actress, he would want it to be his wife?

    grasping at straws much

    that makes sense to me! most people seem to hate one of the two of them, so that’d be pissing off just about everybody.
