Ben All Bottled Up?
Does he or doesn’t he? Ben Affleck fans might be a bit confused about their idol’s drinking habits after reading a few of his upcoming interviews.
The Oscar winner tells USA Weekend this Sunday he has become a teetotaler.
“I started regretting some things I did when I was drunk,” says Affleck, whose father successfully battled the bottle. “I have almost no inhibitions, so it’s dangerous for me.”
But turn to the pages of the August issue of Premiere magazine and the “Armageddon” star is knocking back double vodka-cranberries during his interview at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
“I drink with less frequency, but when I do, I drink more,” he tells writer Christine Spines while ordering another round as dawn approached.
On the love front, Affleck says he feels no urgent need to walk down the aisle.
Galpal Gwyneth Paltrow is “the smartest woman I’ve ever known,” Affleck tells USA Weekend. But, he adds, “What do I need to marry now for? I’m 25. Getting married now would lead into being the 32-year-old divorce.”
- The June 1998 issue of Sky International (a British magazine) has an article on Matt Damon. It mentions he is filming Dogma. It also talks about his friendship with Ben (quoted from article: “If I woke up in a hotel with a dead hooker, Matt’s the guy I’d call first”, says Damon’s best mate Ben Affleck).
- Finally today, a quote from Ben on the “Countdown To Armageddon” special, airing on the Sci Fi Channel this weekend: “”The hole they built on the soundstage cost 4 times more than it cost to make Chasing Amy“. By the way, George Cifrancis is running a site that lists all the upcoming Armageddon TV specials and when they air…In case you want to catch more of Ben’s wacky antics.
