Ben Affleck is opening up about the current stage in his life. The filmmaker and actor is currently promoting "The Accountant 2," his new action film where he plays an accountant who teams up with his brother to solve a murder. It's an action role that demanded training and commitment from Affleck, who hadn't made a project like this in a few years.

Affleck had nothing but praise for Garner. "I’m really lucky that I have a really good co-parent and partner in Jennifer Garner, the kids’ mom, who’s wonderful and great and we work together well," he said.
He also shared a look at their parenting style, sharing personal stories about their kids and what it feels like for them to grow up as the children of famous parents.

The pair share three kids: Violet, Fin, and Samuel, and are often photographed in Los Angeles attending school events and spending plenty of time together as a family.

Elsewhere in the interview, Affleck revealed that he doesn't mind discussing his personal life "a little," and that if people really knew him they'd see that his life is pretty unremarkable in terms of juicy gossip.
"And for all the sensational stuff that gets written, if somebody sat down and talked to me about it, and I said, 'Well, this is really the experience,' their eyes would glaze over with boredom," he said.
