Ben Affleck: biography, personal life, films

Ben Affleck's childhood and youth

Few people know, but the famous actor Ben Affleck's name is Benjamin Geza (Ben) Affleck-Boldt.
He was born in Berkeley in 1972. Celebrates his birthday on August 15th. His father worked in the medical field, and his mother was a teacher. Tim, Ben's father, a Scotsman, tried to build an acting career from the very beginning. He boasted that he maintained friendly relations with Blythe Danner, Dustin Hoffman and the mother of actress Gwyneth Paltrow. However, his career went downhill due to excessive drinking. As soon as he realized this, he moved to California and became a physician. His wife and two sons were left alone. Ben's parents divorced in 1984. After that, they, along with their mother and brother, settled in Massachusetts.

The actor’s mother, Christine, raised her children and assumed that Ben would become a teacher, just like her. When an opportunity presented itself, she played a major role in her son’s life, sending him to participate in the TV series “Mimi’s Journey.” The boy was only 7 years old at the time. From that moment on, filming became his main aspiration. In addition, on the set he met his best friend, Matt Damon, who, like him, dreamed of being a famous actor. They appeared everywhere together - went to auditions, participated in extras, waiting for something worthwhile to turn up.

The guys lived close to each other - just a couple of blocks, attended school together and studied in a theater club. Matt recalled that for some reason acting teacher Jerry Spas paid special attention to Affleck. The friend got more responsible roles and lengthy monologues.

As soon as Affleck completes his secondary education, he applies to the University of Vermont. He made his choice for a rather dubious reason - he was infatuated with a girl, Cheyenne, who lived not far from the university. But as soon as he realized that this girl was not interested in him, he immediately abandoned his studies and went to Hollywood.

His mother thought that her son would not succeed and would return with nothing. She was partly right - having received a large sum for the first time, he and his friends rented a cottage by the ocean and organized a party. Affleck wanted to continue his studies for higher education. To do this, he enters a liberal arts college located in Los Angeles.

Personal life of Ben Affleck

The actor's youthful love was Cheyenne Rothman. Because of her, he entered the University of Vermont. But the girl did not appreciate such sacrifices and refused. Affleck later admitted that her words were the biggest disappointment in his life.

In Hollywood he met G. Paltrow. Those around them considered them an ideal couple. Ben pampered his beloved in every possible way: he gave her earrings with diamonds, and even starred in “Shakespeare in Love” at her request. But this was a fatal mistake. After this film they soon broke up. Ben found Gwyneth in the hot embrace of her co-star. The girl convinced that this was just a rehearsal, but the jealous man didn’t even want to listen to anything.

Rumor attributed Affleck to many hobbies: S. Bullock, N. Kidman. But the actor himself did not confirm these rumors. But he could not refuse the connection with D. Lopez. They were seen together too often; the couple was even jokingly called Bennifer. It was time for the wedding, but registration was canceled an hour before the ceremony began. This was the beginning of the end of the relationship.

Benjamin finally reached the registry office with his Pearl Harbor partner. True, the ceremony was held secretly and away from Hollywood. Affleck and Jennifer Garner got married in the Caribbean. This marriage was initially very successful; the couple had three children. The family could often be seen in markets, supermarkets, and cinemas. But then something happened and the marriage was dissolved. However, for the sake of the children, Ben and Jennifer maintained friendly relations.

Creative path

As surprising as it may sound, Hollywood initially treated Ben with indifference. The actor attended numerous castings, but everything was limited only to episodes and extras.

Sometimes an aspiring actor still managed to get a small role. For example, he appears in such films as “The Second Voyage of Mimi”, “The Perfect Guy Wanted”, “Dazed and Confused”, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”.

In 1995, Affleck's acting talent was noticed by director Kevin Smith. He saw Ben's performance when the film "Loafers" was being filmed. Two years later, he gives him the leading role, and Affleck shows all his talent in the film “Chasing the Emmy.” From that moment on, my career went up rapidly. It seems that the actor began to appear in a good half of the films that the director shot. He starred in the following films: “Dogma”, “Supermarket Rats”, “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back”, “Mad TV”, “Splash of Glory” and others.

Ben never completed his college studies. Once, one of the teachers who taught writing criticized a short story written by Affleck and Damon. After reading it, he said it was “nonsense.” In the future, the story will become the basis for creating a film script, which later made the friends popular and sought-after actors. We are talking about the movie "Good Will Hunting".

The main character was played by Matt, who managed to perfectly embody the image of an extremely smart young man who worked as a janitor. His lifelong friend, Affleck, played the protagonist’s friend in the film.

In 1998, the film was awarded two Oscars. One - for the best film script, the second - for the best supporting role (played by Robin Williams). The script was awarded another prestigious award - the Golden Globe. The main performers were also not left out; they were awarded the National Board of Review award.

In 1999, the melodramatic film “Forces of Nature” starring Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck was released in wide release. Another film was also created, where Affleck plays with his faithful friend Damon - “Dogma”. The film was a huge success with viewers.

It was during this period that Affleck’s name appeared in People magazine—a tall (192 cm) and attractive actor with an athletic build was included in the list of the fifty most attractive people on the planet. The actor uses his celebrity to maximum advantage - he receives a whole list of work offers. So, Ben is starring in the film “Shakespeare in Love” (a tragicomedy). He also starred alongside Bruce Willis in the acclaimed film Armageddon. In 2001, another film was released that played a significant role in the development of the actor’s career - “Pearl Harbor”. This picture becomes the world box office leader.

There were failures, like all talented actors. If the film “Daredevil,” in which Affleck starred, became a successful adaptation of the popular comic book, earned a decent amount of money and received good reviews from critics, then the actor was not lucky with his next works. The following films were unsuccessful: “Gigli” (here the actor starred together with Jennifer Lopez), as well as “Surviving Christmas.” Moreover, this acting tandem was called the worst in the history of cinema.

Another failure, according to critics, is Affleck’s participation in John Woo’s film “Hour of Reckoning.” There, the actor appears in a frame with Uma Thurman and Aaron Eckhart.

2006 was also a successful year for Ben - he received the main role in the biographical film The Death of Superman. This film was dedicated to actor George Reeves, who first played the role of an American superhero who died under mysterious circumstances. The film was awarded more than one award, and Affleck was awarded a Golden Globe for his excellent acting work.

In 2009, during the filming of the comedy film “Promising Doesn’t Mean Marrying,” Ben became the lover of the heroine, played by Jennifer Aniston.

2010 is also going well – the actor is involved in the filming of the social drama “In the Company of Men.” The film talks about a problematic period for wage workers in an era of crisis. Despite the low return on investment, viewers remembered the film thanks to its topical theme at the time and the excellent performances of Hollywood actors: Kevin Costner, Tommy Lee Jones. The negative point is that the costs of 15 million dollars did not pay off. The film collected less than 1/3 of this amount.

In 2010, Affleck decides to slightly dilute his acting work with other profitable projects. He begins to try his hand as a director, screenwriter and producer.

His most famous project is the film “Operation Argo”. The basis for the creation of the thriller was the actual events that took place - the rescue operation of diplomats captured in Iran in 1979. Initially, Brad Pitt was invited to play the key role, but he was unable to participate in the filming due to being overly busy with other work. Therefore, Ben himself had to play the role, combining acting and directing. Another actor also took part in the filming: Bryan Cranston, known for the series “Breaking Bad.” Thanks to this work, Affleck now became famous as a director - the film received 3 Oscars. One of them was awarded for best film.

The next work, where Affleck acted as both an actor and a director, was the film “City of Thieves.” Already during the first weekend, $23 million was collected. While the budget of the film was 37 million. The film received awards from the Washington Film Critics Association and the US National Board of Film Critics. The nomination was awarded to the best acting ensemble. Jeremy Renner, who played in the film, was nominated for an Oscar thanks to his excellent supporting role.

In 2014, viewers were presented with the thriller “Gone Girl.” In it, Ben played the husband of the main character. The female role was played by actress Rosamund Pike. A year later, Ben takes part in the filming of the film “Va-Bank”, directed by Brad Furman. In the film, Affleck's partner was Justin Timberlake, a famous singer. The storyline tells what happens on the other side of online gambling.

In 2020, Ben appears in the superhero film Batman v Superman. Here he plays one of the main roles - a fighter for justice hidden behind a mask. In the same image of Batman, the actor appears in another film – “Suicide Joy”.

The first film turned out to be not entirely popular, as evidenced by repeated nominations for the Golden Raspberry. This award is given to the worst films. Criticism was precisely aimed at the film "Batman v Superman". Affleck played here alongside Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot.

As for “Suicide Squad,” in addition to Affleck, a whole group of star actors was assembled: Jared Leto, Will Smith, Margot Robbie. The film was nominated for an Oscar. Moreover, attention was focused on the makeup and hairstyles of the main characters.

By the end of 2020, an action-packed action movie called “Reckoning” will be released. The script was written already in 2011, but preparations for filming took five years. The main character was supposed to be played by Will Smith, replacing Affleck, and the film was to be directed by the Coen brothers and Mel Gibson, replacing Gavin O'Connor. However, they decided to use Ben in the film - he fit perfectly into the role of a brilliant mathematician-accountant suffering from autism, who was hired by dubious organizations associated with crime. The interesting thing is that the film was shot not using digital technology, as most people did, but using 35mm film.

In 2020, Affleck’s next successful film is coming out – “Law of the Night” (crime drama). Ben was an actor, screenwriter, and director. The film is based on Dennis Lehane's famous novel Night Is My Home.

The plot is built in the 20s around the dysfunctional son of a police captain in Boston - Joe Coglin. At first he became a bootlegger, and later turns into a gangster. Leonardo DiCaprio acted as producer.

Movies / Ben Affleck

Full name: Benjamin Giza Affleck.
Actor Casey Affleck is Ben's younger brother.
His mother, Christine Anne Boldt, is Irish, and his father, Timothy Affleck, is Scottish.
He briefly studied at the University of Vermont and Occidental College.
Winner of two Oscars for the screenplay for the film Good Will Hunting (with Matt Damon) and for the film Argo (with George Clooney and Grant Heslov).
He was the winner of the Golden Raspberry anti-award as the worst actor in the films Gigli, Daredevil and Hour of Reckoning. He was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award for Armageddon and Pearl Harbor.

Ben Affleck was born into the family of a doctor and a teacher.
At the age of twelve, he played a small role in the television series “The Journey of Mimi” (1984), around the same time he met Matt Damon, who eventually became his best friend. After graduating from school, Affleck entered the University of Vermont, but soon dropped out and moved to Hollywood. The actor’s first works in the films “Loafers” (1995), “A Glitter of Glory” (1996) and “Chasing Amy” (1997) did not add to his fame. Affleck manages to turn the tide of events by joining forces with Matt Damon. Together they are writing the script for the film “Good Will Hunting,” in which they write two roles “for themselves.” The script, one of the conditions for the sale of which was the participation of two young and unknown actors in the film, is not immediately sold to friends. However, in the end, a buyer is found, it turns out to be the Miramax studio, which entrusts the work on the film to director Gus Van Sant, and invites Robin Williams to play the main role.

The film, released in 1997 with a budget of only 10 million dollars, grosses more than 200. For the script for this film, Matt and Ben receive an Oscar and a Golden Globe, which become their ticket to the world of big cinema.

Less than a year has passed since the next film with Affleck’s participation was released - Michael Bay’s big-budget “Armageddon”, in which Bruce Willis played the main role. The film, which grossed more than half a billion dollars at the box office, added to the popularity of the aspiring actor. In 1999, the frankly weak melodrama “Forces of Nature” was released, in which Ben starred with Sandra Bullock, and another collaboration with old friend Matt Damon, “Dogma” (1999), which was a success despite the numerous scandals associated with it.

The already large army of fans of the young actor increases several times after the release of the blockbuster “Pearl Harbor” (2001), the role in which preceded a series of unsuccessful roles for the actor in such films as “The Price of Fear” (2002), “Daredevil” "(2003), "Hour of Reckoning" (2003), "Smoking Aces" (2006) and others.

In 2013, he received an Academy Award for Best Picture of the Year as a producer of the film Operation Argo.

On August 22, 2013, it became known that Ben Affleck would play the role of Batman in the sequel to the film Man of Steel. Presumably the sequel will be called "Batman v Superman" and will be released on July 17, 2020. Comic book fans were not enthusiastic about the news that Affleck would play the role of Batman; a protest petition authored by John Rhoden was signed by 78 thousand people. If the petition collects 150 thousand signatures, the film company will have to consider it.

In the mid-1990s, Ben Affleck had an affair with Gwyneth Paltrow, but after working together in the film Shakespeare in Love (1998), the relationship between the lovers began to deteriorate. Paltrow and Ben soon broke up. Later, the actor had a romantic relationship with singer and actress Jennifer Lopez. They got engaged in 2002 and separated in 2004. In 2005, he married actress Jennifer Garner, who, while married to him, gave birth to two daughters. On August 22, 2011, the couple confirmed the information that they were expecting a third child. On February 27, 2012, Jennifer gave birth to a boy named Samuel Garner Affleck.

Ben Affleck and Cheyenne Rothman

During his school years, Ben came to his first great love - Shefenn Rothman, who later became an actress. But the love turned out to be unrequited. The famous actor met a girl as a schoolboy, and in order to be closer to her and win her heart, he decided to study at the University of Vermont, located not far from his beloved’s home.

Ben failed to build a relationship with his beloved, since she did not intend to be faithful to him - she made it clear to him that no future together awaited them. The guy immediately lost interest in the girl and quit training. He decided to fulfill another dream - to conquer Hollywood.

Childhood and family

Casey Affleck was born in Falmouth, in the northeastern United States. His mother, Christine Bold, was a teacher, and his father, Timothy Affleck, drank ungodly and did not stay at any job. When the parents divorced, the mother took full responsibility for raising 9-year-old Casey and eldest son Ben.

It was she who instilled in the Affleck brothers a passion for acting: she took them to the theater, organized home performances and often gathered representatives of the local bohemia in her new home in Cambridge. Thanks to their mother’s connections, the brothers began to receive small roles in advertising and extras at an early age. In 1998, Casey was given a small role in the arthouse film Lemon Sky. With age, the dream of the stage only strengthened.

By the way, in the late 80s, the Afflecks’ father underwent a rehabilitation course and was completely cured of drunkenness. At age 14, Casey met him and saw his father sober for the first time. Now they keep in touch.

Relationship with Gwyneth Paltrow

Ben first met Gwyneth Paltrow in 1997. Then she broke up with Brad Pitt and it was Affleck who was able to console her. Both were beautiful, young and famous, while the lovers doted on each other. All of Hollywood believed that this star couple was an example of an ideal relationship.

The couple never parted; they presented each other with quite expensive gifts, planning a joint family future. But all plans were destroyed. Everything went wrong during the filming of Shakespeare in Love. In it, the actress and her lover Ben played together. But during the filming process, Joseph Fiennes, who plays the main role, became not indifferent to Gwyneth - she began an affair. The first sign of the seriousness of their relationship was Gwyneth’s action - she did not want to be replaced by a stunt double in erotic scenes.

Affleck guessed that a similar scenario would repeat itself in life, and he guessed right. Later, he saw behind-the-scenes pictures of his lover kissing the film's main character. The girl decided to brush it off with banal explanations, saying that it was just a rehearsal. But Ben did not forgive the betrayal, he did not believe the girl, and they broke up. Paltrow subsequently won an Oscar for her role, and Ben’s heart was once again broken.

Ben and Sandra Bullock

The actor met Sandra Bullock during the filming of the Rothcom film Forces of Nature. Of course, the actor is somewhat younger than his star colleague - by 8 years, but their external harmony was noted accordingly. The couple began to be credited with an affair.

Handsome Ben has once again become a consolation prize for another heartbreaker who broke up with her boyfriend. Her romance with Bullock arose after her separation from Bob Schneider. The feelings faded away as quickly as they appeared. The actress found her companion rather boring and decided to continue searching for her soulmate. In addition, other, no less attractive celebrities were vying for her attention - Ryan Gosling, Matthew McConaughey.

Relationship with Jennifer Lopez

Affleck met his next passion during the filming of the film Gigli - the famous pop star Jennifer Lopez. After filming the film, a romance began, which was covered in literally every tabloid. The press even came up with a separate name for this novel - “Bennifer”. In a matter of moments, Ben and Jennifer's relationship became the most talked about in Hollywood.

The couple's passionate relationship went beyond the bounds of decency, overtaking the lovers even during fittings in boutiques. Their relationship was too public. The singer dedicated songs to her man, and the actor took part in the filming of her videos and gave all kinds of gifts to show his attention. The wedding was already planned.

But in the actor’s work, everything was not as smooth as in his personal life - all his time was spent on Lopez, and his career was showing cracks. Golden Raspberries have become commonplace. The actor was at a loss, but with his beloved singer everything was going smoothly.

The actor could not stand the heat when he was given the comic nickname “Mr. Lopez.” Their wedding was supposed to take place, but a couple of days later the breakup of the star relationship was announced.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

As soon as the actor broke up with Lopez, he immediately found someone else. The actor's chosen one was Jennifer Garner. The actor first met his future wife in 2001, when the film “Pearl Harbor” was filmed.

After a couple of years, they met again - they had to play lovers in Daredevil. The couple's romance continued off the set. In order not to attract too much attention to themselves, they climbed to the Caribbean, where they secretly got married.

In this relationship, Affleck had children with Garner and showed himself to be a good family man.

The youngest is son Samuel Garner Affleck. He was born on February 27, 2012.

Unfortunately, the couple officially divorced. The intentions were announced on June 30, 2020, but the spouses filed documents only in April 2020. The star couple divorced on November 7, 2020.
