Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck is an American actor, producer, and screenwriter. He shot to fame for co-writing and co-starring in the Oscar-winning sleeper hit Good Will Hunting with childhood friend Matt Damon in 1997.
Since then, Affleck has gone from underdog to A-lister through acclaimed movies such as Argo and The Town, blockbusters like Justice League, and Hollywood romances with stars including Jennifer Lopez, whom he married in 2022.
But with the highs have come lows, including Affleck's difficulties with alcohol abuse and a widely-publicized divorce from Daredevil co-star Jennifer Garner.
Still, since his hardscrabble days working construction in Boston, Affleck has shown he knows how to pull himself up by the bootstraps.
