Ben Affleck reacts to Jennifer Garner’s Vanity Fair Interview

We recently covered Jennifer Garner’s controversial Vanity Fair interview in which the actress talked about her divorce from actor Ben Affleck. She took the opportunity to share her emotions and the struggles experienced while the two lived together.

Now the Batman v. Superman star opened up to The New York Times about said interview, acknowledging everything Garner said and effectively supporting her decision to speak up. He also commented that being scrutinized by the media is especially tough now during these hard, turbulent times.

“It never seems like a great time to have your privacy invaded,” Affleck stated. “Obviously this is a particularly hard time.” He further stressed that him and Garner are “on great terms. I just saw her this morning, so that’s the reality that I live in.”

Following further questions, including allegations about his supposed affair with their nanny, the actor dismissed it but respected her decision to express her beliefs publicly.

“She felt like she wanted to discuss it and get it out there and get it over with…” This followed by, “Look, I already talked about it — I don’t want to do it again,” the actor commented.

According to the 43-year-old actor, Garner and their children will pay him a visit on the set of the upcoming Justice League film, followed by a vacation to Europe together. He later added that regardless what takes place in his personal life, his work is most important.

“Even in the tough spots, if your movies are good, people will see them, and if you’re not good, you can’t get away with it.” He explained this while acknowledging that constantly having to prove himself (professionally) is a requirement that never goes away.

“You’ve got to realize, this line of work, it’s rooted in a feeling of needing to audition all the time.”
