Ben Affleck Talks About Jennifer Lopez
On Friday, Ben Affleck appeared on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show‘. He opened up about the one thing Jennifer Lopez would want to change in him, despite her “never” admitting the same.
“She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak,” he said. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I go on and on and on. I talk in circles. She’s never said that to me, but that would be my guess”.
The ‘Argo‘ director also praised Lopez and called her “the most gorgeous woman in the world.” When Barrymore asked how she remains in a good shape all the time, Affleck said: “Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. She eats pizza, cookies, ice cream … everything.”

Affleck Recalls The Time When He Went Broke
In the same interview, Affleck talked about the initial phase of his career when he and his close friend Matt Damon, were struggling financially. They sold the script of ‘Good Will Hunting‘ for $600,000 and thought they were “rich for life”.
“[I thought], ‘My needs are over. I will never have to work again. I’m rich forever,’” Affleck said. However, their mismanagement of the money eventually made them broke. They paid $30,000 to their agent and $160,000 in taxes.
Both the struggling actors were left with only so much money to buy a Jeep Cherokee and a $5,000-a-month “party house.” “We were broke in six months,” he recalls. But he feels that phase was “really valuable” for the two.
