Ben Affleck sat down with the New York Times to reveal he was an alcoholic and his biggest regret in life is divorcing Jennifer Gardner.
The Hollywood star said problems with alcohol destroyed his marriage and made him gave up an idea of directing The Batman.
“I showed somebody ‘The Batman’ script,” Affleck recalled. “They said, ‘I think the script is good. I also think you’ll drink yourself to death if you go through what you just went through again.’”
He confessed to drinking more and more when his marriage was falling apart.
“I drank relatively normally for a long time. What happened was that I started drinking more and more when my marriage was falling apart. This was 2015, 2016. My drinking, of course, created more marital problems,” he said.
The actor said Bradley Cooper and Robert Downey Jr. supported him much and he feels a great sense of gratitude to them.
