Ben Affleck shares wife Jennifer Lopez ‘eats whatever she wants’ including COOKIES
Ben Affleck has updated his new wife Jennifer Lopez.
During a video chat with Drew Barrymore for her talk showsaid the director of Air that the 53-year-old mother-actress can eat anything she wants and still look great.
And the Oscar winner – who was seen with his son this week – went into details.
“Let me tell you something that will upset you. Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. Whatever she wants. She eats cookies, ice cream, everything,” began Jennifer Garner’s ex-husband.
Drew asked if all that exercise keeps JLO thin. ‘She works out. I work out too, but I don’t magically seem to be twenty years old, you know what I mean, with perfect skin and all,” he joked.
ice cream? And the Oscar winner went into details. “Let me tell you something that will upset you. Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. Whatever she wants. She eats cookies, ice cream, everything,” began Jennifer Garner’s ex-husband. Seen in March
He’s in love: He added, “There’s no taking away the work ethic, the work ethic is real, the discipline is real, but also the superhuman is real. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, she looks spectacular’
Surprised at what he said: Affleck appeared on Drew’s talk show via video
“The work ethic cannot be taken away, the work ethic is real, the discipline is real, but also the superhuman is real. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, she looks spectacular.’
And when asked what JLo would like to change about him, he probably said he talks a lot.
“She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak. I don’t know if you noticed, but I’m going on and on and on. I talk in circles. She never told me, but I’d guess.’
Drew then asked, “When was the last time you went skinny dipping?”
Ben: ‘This will be a different kind of story. My wife and I went on vacation recently, we went in the pool, I don’t know if that counts as skinny dipping. It wasn’t like an eighties school movie.”
Drew: “Were you naked?”
Ben: “We were naked in the pool, yes.”
Ben also talked about the Burger King commercial he starred in when he was 16.
“Had I known the commercial would get this kind of reaction, I would have been much more optimistic about my career,” said the Good Will Hunting actor.
So Close: And when asked what JLo would like to change about him, he probably said he talks a lot. “She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak. I don’t know if you noticed, but I’m going on and on and on. I talk in circles. She’s never said that to me, but that would be my guess’
Kissy: Drew then asked, “When was the last time you went skinny dipping?” Ben: ‘This will be a different kind of story. My wife and I went on vacation recently, we went in the pool, I don’t know if that counts as skinny dipping. It wasn’t like the 1980s school movie’
No swimsuit, no problem: Drew: “Were you naked?” Ben: ‘We were naked in the pool yes’; here Lopez can be seen in a Guess ad
“I can’t remember the enthusiasm back then. The director almost fired me and now I understand why.
Drew then asked if he was close to being fired.
‘Yes, I remember that. I remember a few things. One, I was sixteen or maybe just turned seventeen and I remember the car guy, you know, because it was a car in the commercial and I had to drive, and they always worry about actors driving.
“I remember him asking me, ‘Do you know how to drive, boy?’ it was in New York and I thought, “Yeah, I know how to drive,” they said, “Are you sure?” I was like, “Guys, I’ve ridden five hundred or a thousand miles.”
“I also remember thinking, ‘I don’t know why this director makes me do it over and over,’ and now that I’m watching the performance, I have a better idea.”
Affleck then voiced his film Air.
He said he talked to Michael Jordan about no one portraying him.
“I don’t believe it would be possible to make an audience believe that someone other than Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan and to see his face and sell his being there would not only lose the audience, but then they’re like, “This is all false, this is all a lie,” and so much of the work you’re trying to do is create realism, but that’s really his mom’s story, it’s not his story.
So basically he said to him, “My mom did this. My mom took me to work. I wanted to play Nintendo”…so it’s not like he controlled that aspect of it. He’s brilliant, he’s the best.’
Make this right? Ben seemed bored at The Grammys with Lopez in February
And Ben then talked about going bankrupt with best friend Matt Damon.
‘We did share a bank account and I always thought that was perfectly normal. We wanted to be actors and we were in Boston and we wanted to go to New York… so we’d work a little bit, we’d do extra work or a line here and there, a Burger King commercial now and then and then take that money and put it on the bill and we were both we were friends and we wanted each other to succeed and we love each other so it seemed obvious that we would do this together and in hindsight very valuable because I think it kind of starts in a field that can feel very lonely, but we shared that bank account in our 20s, even when we were alive, and we wrote Good Will Hunting in a house in Eagle Rock, a Los Angeles neighborhood that was a very cheap neighborhood and very far from all the places you had to go to audition and when we sold Good Will Hunting I thought, “We are now rich for life. My needs are over, I will never have to work again. I’m forever rich.”
“We sold it for $600,000, we split that, $300,000 each, and then the agents got $30,000, so we had $270,000 and we paid about $160,000 in taxes, so we had $110,000, each bought $55,000 of Jeep Cherokees and then had $55,000 left, which of course we decided to rent a $5,000 a month party house on Glencoe Way near the Hollywood Bowl and we were broke in six months.”

Drew then asked him about a life moment he would like to experience again and again.
“There are so many things, the birth of my children, all the things I’ve done with my children. It’s just the joy of life, it’s the core of life. These beautiful kids who are innocent and loving and want to sit on your lap and hold you, and then they turn into, “You can close the door,” like, “Oh, so you don’t want to play parachutes and ladders, I can just to go?” it is the gift of life all those moments and i am now beginning to see how fleeting they are but now i cherish all these little moments.
“I just went to see lectures with my daughter and I showed Good Will Hunting to my middle child. That was one of the best experiences of my life.”
