Ben Affleck: I Don't Want to Embarrass My Daughter
MONDAY DECEMBER 11, 2006 08:30AM EST
By Stephen M. Silverman
Ben Affleck, whose 2004 split from Jennifer Lopez made international
headlines, has changed his ways since settling down and becoming a dad, he
says.
"I've never been very judicious about my own behavior or choices until they
had an impact on people other than me," Affleck, 34, tells USA Today.
"Obviously, my wife. And my daughter, who's going to have my last name - I
don't want her to mutter it over a drink. I want her to be proud of her old
man."
Affleck and his wife, Jennifer Garner, never released photos of 1-year-old
Violet. "We just didn't sell them - that was the thing," says Affleck, whose
directorial debut, Gone, Baby, Gone, is due in 2007.
"I'm extraordinarily lucky and privileged," he says, "and I've tried not to
be bitter, but I have developed a reactionary defensiveness."
He adds, "But for my child, she didn't make the bargain I did. She didn't
make that choice. And I don't want her to have to pay for the parents' sins.
I try to protect her privacy. I'll end up in the magazines, and that's life,
and I can live with it, but I try to shield my daughter."

Please, somebody, just give this piece of pink ham a medal already so he'll
STFU.

Is he going to buy up all existing copies of Armageddon and Pearl Harbor
and destroy them, then?

No longer kiss a dude on SNL.
No longer teabag Kevin Smith.
No longer take cigs from Jason Mewes.
No longer kill hookers (anyone who watched 'Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back'
knows about this one).
No longer spend days on days playing poker and high on Budwiser.
No longer do stupid christmas films with Tony Soprano.
No longer do anything stupid to get us idiots on AGC talk about him.
I won't hold my breath.

He should probably focus on "Gigli" first.

If he were the president of the universe, he'd still be an embarassment to
his children.

While I agree Pearl Harbour should be fed through a woodchipper, I
actually enjoyed Armageddon. A lot. There's something about the
overblown emotions and tunnel vision focus of politically motivated
films that make them very enjoyable to me. In a lot of ways they are
like old fashioned love stories, except the romantic focus is on Our Way
of Life and not the hero/heroine. FWIW, I like Chinese propaganda films
as much as I like American ones, so it's not to do with the political
bent of the film.
