Recently, Ben Affleck said publicly in an interview with The New York Times: "Divorce is the biggest regret of my life. In the interview, he also admitted that his alcoholism caused the "marriage problem", forcing him to quit the "Batman" movie and remove the role of Batman.
How serious is Big Ben's alcohol addiction? On Halloween last year, he was photographed walking out of a party drunk, wearing a screaming mask, and he couldn't stand still with the car door.
On this day, Big Ben had just attended a masquerade ball at the La Peer Hotel in West Hollywood, California, and was published by the TMZ website, which can be said to be miserable.
Apparently, abstinence from alcohol has failed again.
The 47-year-old Ben Afu was originally an actor, director, producer and screenwriter with a great future, but because he could not quit his addiction to alcohol, he played a good deck of cards and his career almost stopped.
In 1997, "Mindcatcher", co-written by Big Ben and good friend Matt Damon, won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay, and Ben Afu, who was only 25 years old, became famous in Hollywood and had a proud life.
"Mindcatcher" was nominated for nine awards at that year's Oscars, and comedy legend Robin Williams also won the best screenplay award and the best supporting actor award, and on August 11, 2014, he hanged himself in his California apartment at the age of 63.
In 2007, his feature film debut, Missing Persons, won the National Critics Association Award for Best Directorial Debut for his brother Cassie Affleck.
Cassie Affleck, it's worth talking about. The Affleck family and damon's family have been neighbors since childhood, and when the three brothers broke into Hollywood together as adults, Cassie did not have many other talents and has been living under the aura of two older brothers.
Until the tragic father whose faults caused the three of his own flesh and blood to be buried in the fire in the 2016 movie "Manchester by the Sea", Cassie won the Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, the British Academy Film Award, the Independent Spirit Award, the National Critics Association and other best actor awards, and finally raised his eyebrows.
The friendship between the three people has not changed to this day, and it is really rare.
Self-directed and self-directed "The Thief of the City" and "Escape from Tehran" won Ben Afou the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, the British Academy Film Award for Best Director, the Directors Guild Award for Best Director, the Golden Globe Award for Best Drama Film, the British Academy Film Award for Best Picture, and the Academy Award for Best Picture.
"Escape from Tehran" is based on the true story of the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis, and although the movie is good, it once again proves Ben Afo's poker face, and there is really no acting talent.
The best-selling novel adaptation film "The Vanishing Lover", released in 2014, can almost be said to be the true color of Ben Afu, but the heroine is a snake and scorpion beauty, not the bodhisattva heart of his ex-wife Ghana in reality.
In 2016, Big Ben played Batman in the movie "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", which was his second time to play a superhero, although Big Ben made a lot of visible efforts for this, but the limelight was all taken away by Henry Cavill who played Superman, and the narrative rhythm of the film was also criticized, and the final box office was not bad, and the reputation was polar.
Ben Afu's past emotional experience is not much, but it is vigorous again and again.
He and Gwyneth Paltrow were divided for three years.
Looking at the state of Daben at that time, when he was young, he also loved to drink
In the 18 months with Jennifer Lopez, the two were once engaged, and also left the worst couple cooperation in history, "Gigli".
The 2003 film cost $75.6 million, grossed just $7.2 million, and had a worse Rotten Tomatoes, at 6 percent, and was ranked seventh in his mind by the late roger Ebert.
His marriage to Jennifer Garner was once regarded as a model by Hollywood, and as a result, the two were separated on the second day of their 10-year wedding anniversary, shocking Hollywood.
Ghana's sister's career in the early years is also very good, in 2001 with the American drama "Two-Faced Female Spy" to become popular, won the Golden Globe Award and the American Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress, but unfortunately after marriage, she concentrated on her husband and children, and only came back to the big screen in recent years.
A month after the divorce was announced, the tabloids revealed ben's affair with her 28-year-old nanny, Christine Ouzounian, after which Garner admitted it in an interview with Vanity Fair. But she also said they had been separated for months before the news came out about the nanny and that "she had nothing to do with our decision to separate."
The nanny sister also attracted widespread media attention for uploading photos of herself sitting on her social media of Ben Afu's good friend, the husband of supermodel Giselle Bundy, the private jet of rugby star Tom Brady, and wearing Tom's championship ring.
Ji Niangniang also came out later and said that she didn't know why her husband wanted to let this nanny get on his own plane, and it was estimated that she was angry enough to choke...
This blind derailment is also full of question marks, man!
In 2015, Ben and Jennifer Garner officially separated, divorced three years later, and the two have three children: Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and Samuel, 7.
After the divorce, Daben briefly had a brief relationship with SNL producer Lindsay Shookus and Playboy magazine model Shauna Sexton, the former of which broke up and got back together, but did not go too far.
Lindsay Shookus is a career woman herself, a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has been nominated for an Emmy Award nine times and won three cups in more than a decade.
It is said that Ben Afu and she had an affair in each other's marriage, but after both of them recovered from singleness, Yi Found that the man had serious personal problems, decisively chose to break up, and after the breakup, he won an Emmy Award, and he was also a strong woman.
So, is alcohol the real culprit behind the once-hot Oscar winner's broken marriage, family separation, and career suspension?
Not exactly, I'm afraid.
Over the past 20 years, Big Ben has been treated in drug rehabilitation centers several times. In July 2001, Ben Afoo spent 30 days at a rehabilitation center in Malibu, and it was Charlie Sheen who personally took him to a drug rehab center, according to People magazine.
After marrying Garner in 2004, Ben Afu did not receive any rehabilitation. He told The New York Times that when he first separated from Jennifer in 2015, his alcohol consumption was normal. "When my marriage was on the verge of breaking down, I started drinking more and more. It was 2015, 2016. My alcoholism caused more problems in the marriage. ”
In March 2017, he was revealed to have secretly entered a rehabilitation center to treat alcohol addiction and underwent 40 days of treatment. "I want my kids to know that there's no shame in asking for help when you need it, and I want them to be a source of strength for people who need help but don't dare take the first step," Big Ben said. ”
But in August of the following year, Ben Afu entered the rehabilitation center again, this time it was Ghana who personally sent him there.
This time to quit drinking, the ex-wife came to Omoto's house with a Bible and a lawyer and personally sent him to the rehabilitation center. Halfway through a hamburger chain, I also specially brought a copy for Daben, arrived at the rehabilitation center, and got out of the car to plead with the paparazzi to give Daben some private space. So I said earlier that Ghana is a true bodhisattva.
In a 2016 interview with Vanity Fair magazine, Garner said of her marriage to Affleck: "It was a real marriage, not to show affection in front of the camera, it was my top priority, but it was finally over."
In an interview last year, Ben Afo said that as the mother of his children, Garner remains the "most important and central person" in his life.
In an interview with The New York Times, Big Ben also said: "The biggest regret in my life is divorce, this shame is poisoning, there is no positive effect, only let me suffer in self-depreciation and self-loathing." ”
It can be seen that Daben's spiritual dependence on his ex-wife still exists, so he blindly cheated and repented, and emotionally, Daben did not grow up at all, let alone mature.
Abandoning Batman's move now doesn't look thoughtful, it's more like an escape. Ben, who had already gotten the script at the time, asked a friend for advice and got the reply: "This book is not bad, but if you want to act, I think you will drink yourself to death." "One sentence hit him, and it was just like that... Abandoned.
All the problems were thrown out of the pot, and when I found that I was wrong, I found that I was wrong step by step, and now I am stuck, and alcohol is just a catalyst.
Here Ghana has long been revived, has starred in several well-known works, in 2018 left a name on the Walk of Fame, when Daben once again recovered treatment, also missed this important moment.
The three children grew up in the blink of an eye, but the father did not...
It's hard for middle-aged male gods to turn over, but it's not impossible, such as Brad Pitt, who just won best supporting actor at this year's Oscars.
Pete's marriage is so vigorous, but also because of the problem of alcoholism is deadlocked, but even if the alcoholism is serious, Pete chooses the script with a unique vision, the acting skills are always online, and the producer is quite successful.
As early as 1995, Pitt won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Film and the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor nomination for the first time for the science fiction film "Twelve Monkeys", and later won the Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actor in a Film and Supporting Actor for "Burning Love Years" and "Babel Tower". In 2007, Pitt won the Venice Film Festival for "Death of a Sharpshooter" and was twice nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his outstanding acting skills in "Return to Childhood" (2008) and "Penalty To Gold" (2011). Finally, this year, he won the first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood".
With such confidence, life can turn over.
What's more, Pete is far more mature than Big Ben in personality, can you imagine Jolie rushing to Pete's house and dragging her ex-husband to the rehabilitation center? inexistent.
The impact of alcoholism on Big Ben has penetrated into all aspects of his life and work, and with the arrival of the midlife crisis, it is really an old house that burns to the ground.
Coincidentally, Omoto's latest film, "The Way Back," which will be released in March, is the story of a high school physical education teacher battling alcohol.
Can't help but pour cold water: it's 2020, why should we watch a fallen giant baby tell his story?
