Actor Ben Affleck - Instar / Eliot / Starface

After 13 years of marriage, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner officially divorced in 2018, after having announced their separation three years earlier. Their relationship, marked by the adultery stories of the star of Will Hunting and his addiction to alcohol, has meanwhile caused a lot of ink to flow and for the actor, this failure remains difficult to digest. In an interview with the New York Times , the one who was still recently the interpreter of Batman revealed that the end of his marriage is his "biggest regret".

“Shame is toxic. There is nothing positive that comes out of shame. All that comes out of it is that toxic, hideous feeling of self-hatred, ”he said.

Get up

Ben Affleck also returns to the long descent into hell caused by the bottle, which according to him contributed to this divorce. “I have been drinking relatively normally for a very long time. But what happened was that I started to drink more and more as my marriage got worse in 2015, 2016. And drinking, of course, created even more couple problems, "he said.

Since then, the actor has made two trips to rehab, in 2017 and 2018, and today seems determined to move forward, despite a relapse last fall. “I made mistakes. I have clearly done things that I regret. But you have to get up, learn from your mistakes, learn more and try to move forward, ”he concluded.
