Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner is a Recipe For Box Office Flops
June Javelosa | | Dec 31, 2014 02:54 AM EST |
Ben Affleck joked about what it means to put himself and his wife, Jennifer Garner in a movie--
"My wife and I made 'Pearl Harbor' and 'Daredevil.' With our track record, I don't know if anyone's looking for a three-quel."
Nonetheless, he does recognize that his latest success in the industry, which includes an Academy Award win, starring in the box office success, "Gone Girl" and being cast as an iconic superhero for the upcoming Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, is all due to his wife being there to support him and living up to his Hollywood potential.

In an interview, the 42 year old Academy Award winning director and acclaimed actor says it's his relationship with his wife that allowed him to achieve everything that he had in recent years--
"Getting to know Jennifer, falling in love with her and being connected with her gave me a foundation to reach out and say, okay, I'm going to do 'Hollywoodland.' I'm going to direct 'Gone Baby Gone.' Those were the steps forward I needed to put positive stuff on the board," he shares.
From earning his second Oscar for Best Picture after directing the 2012 film "Argo," to winning a Golden Globe, Directors Guild of America award, Critic's Choice award and a BAFTA for Best Director.
Despite his recent success and Garner helping him pave the way for it, it seems the actor doesn't think it's such a good idea to work with his wife again-having made two notoriously panned films such as Pearl Harbor and Daredevil, the latter in which he referenced as a premonition for things to come.
"She won most of the fights in the movie, which was a pretty good predictor of what would happen down the road -- my wife holding swords and beating the living s--t out of me."
