Ben Affleck is a well-known actor and director, with other notable films being Good Will Hunting and Argo. However, in recent years, Ben Affleck has been openly belligerent about alcoholism, which has been mentioned several times in interviews.

He emphasizes that sobriety requires continuous commitment:

"It's about being accountable and taking responsibility, and I have to keep working at it."

His being transparent about his addiction has alleviated some stigma in mental health and recovery.
