He’s the most brilliant person in any room, the most charismatic, the most generous. He’s just a complicated guy. I always say, when his sun shines on you, you feel it. But when the sun is shining elsewhere, it’s cold. He can cast quite a shadow.” While Ben Affleck spoke about his divorce on ‘The Howard Stern Show‘ in December 2021.
