Ben Affleck was supposedly so dedicated to his role in "Gone Girl", that he chose to break his 14-year sobriety just to fully immerse into his role. During filming of the movie, the actor-director, got wasted every night for his role.

The Oscar-winner shared with Details, ""Like, in the book, for example, it said that he was puffy and hungover. And I dedicated myself to that, and I think it's quite convincing."

Aside from alcohol, the actor seems to have another favorite vice - poker. Affleck was said to have been spotted gambling away obscene amounts of money at the the MotorCity Casino and the Caesars Windsor Casino in Detroit when he was filming "Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice".

An eyewitness shared that it took a while for him to realize that who he saw at MotorCity was indeed Affleck. He shared that the actor looked disheveled and upset, seemingly over the amount of money he lost.

"He was smoking a cigarette and his head was down in his arms. When he sat up his eyes looked bloodshot, like he'd been there all night," the source stated. 

A few days after the incident in MotorCity, the actor was said to have decided to spend even more money at the Caesars Windsor. Affleck was said to have walked directly to the card games, looking like a mess.

He was said to have played for around 20 minutes, before security learned he was there and was consequently asked to leave, which angered the actor.

Despite constant news about his alleged gambling addiction, Affleck maintains that all those rumors are simply false.

"See, that's tabloid sh-t. That's all bullsh-t. They completely lie," Affleck also shared with Details. "I mean, I can show you 10 articles of Star and OK! -- those magazines feel totally comfortable absolutely fictionalizing every single element of the story. And there's nothing you can do about that. My only hope is that people with any common sense recognize that those stories are false."
