Ben Affleck Blames J.Lo For His Crappy Career

details_benaffleck.jpg

It was probably bad for my career. What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and Internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody. I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and [the media] mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that. Then, in concert with some movies that didn’t work…

- Ben Affleck on dating Jennifer Lopez

On Gone Baby Gone:
“I feel like (Gone Baby Gone) is the linchpin for my life. My career. I have a lot riding on it. I want [the film] to work. Badly. I mean, a shitty movie comes out on 2,800 screens? I’ve been there and it’s embarrassing.”

On why he likes directing:
“That’s why there’s something really great about directing-about having authorship over something. If you don’t like this movie, I’m the guy to see. I’m the guy to criticize. I take some measure of comfort in that. It’s fair, at least.”

On his directorial debut:
“Listen, I’ve gone out and directed a movie and made it really f—king good. If the movie’s good, people will like it and go see it. All the rest of it is bullshit.”

On what’s at stake with his new film:
“It’s pretty simple. If people don’t go see it – I’m f—ked.”

On his decision to direct:
“I guess I just thought, I’ve seen it done enough. I’ve been on the sets enough. I’m a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor. I guess I just thought the sum of these parts would come together and I’d be able to do it.”

On living in L.A.:
“I’d be surprised if I’m still living here in a couple of years. Professionally it would be difficult. But that’s not as important as that other thing.”

Like JLo and the media forced him to grab her ass in a music video. He went along with it because JLo was the it girl of the moment and he wanted everyone know that his dick was wet. Typical of a horn dog to blame the woman for his down fall. Yeah she was there, but he went willingly.

Ben has never been a great actor to begin with, why blame Jennifer for his shortcomings?

I read what he said and I don’t see where the indication is about him blaming Jennifer Lopez for his lackluster acting career. He was blaming the media (i.e., tabloids) for giving too much attention to his relationship with her.
On what’s at stake with his new film:
“It’s pretty simple. If people don’t go see it – I’m f—ked.”
Haha…gotta love that bluntness.
