Being one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, Ben Affleck and his family have more eyes on them than most day in and day out.
“I’m aware that it’s absurd and it’s ridiculous,” he said in an interview with GQ about some of the headlines that are written about him.

“There’s nothing newsworthy at all about the day-to-day events of my life or the conversation I have with one person or another person that’s photographed,” he continued. “And often it’s like the big trick is to say So-and-so does this amid that, imply some correlation between the two.”
It can be a lot for anyone to deal with, celebrity or not.
“In other words, some broad event is taking place in some way, whether globally or around this person’s life,” Affleck continued, telling GQ. “And look, here they are frustrated with the parking meter. I’m definitely aware of the cosmic joke of it all.”
So how does the Gone Girl star deal with it all? Affleck prioritizes the truth and praises his ex-wife Jennifer Garner for their coparenting relationship.
Despite whatever is being written about him, despite what the photos being taken of him depict, Affleck says, “Look, I know what’s going on in my life.”
“And also, really more importantly, my kids know.”
During their 10-year marriage from 2005 to 2015, Affleck and Garner, both 52, welcomed three children into the world: 19-year-old Violet, 16-year-old Seraphina, and 13-year-old Samuel.
