Ben Affleck Talks About New Role And Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck spoke to Extra about his new film, “The Way Back,” hitting theaters on March 6.

Affleck plays a former basketball star battling addiction who gets another chance.

He describes the role as "cathartic" and something that he can identify with.

Ben shot the film after his own rehab stint in 2018, the same year he was divorced from his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.

Ben explains " I was excited chiefly to tell a story about a character who was suffering, and has suffered and could get past it.” When it comes to his personal life, he says that Jennifer is a great mom and cooperative co-parent.

He adds, “I wish her the best and she is very supportive and helpful.

We get along in a very fluid way.”
