Ben clearly suffers from the curse of duel Jennifers.
The minute Affleck cheated on Jennifer Garner there was a cosmic curse placed upon all his work moving forward. Even as just an actor, everything he's done since has been garbage.
In his early days, it was just being with Jennifer Lopez. Things like Gigli stain that end of his resume. A healthy middle will soon be overshadowed by awful starts and finishes to his career.
Fitting no?
He cheated on Garner throughout their marriage, it was not a well-kept secret. She managed to look the other way and play the role of devoted wife and mother, because that's her schtick instead of actually being an actor.
And anyway, Batman v Superman was the most successful movie of his career and his performance was noted as being one of the best things in it. The Accountant was a surprise hit mostly because of him. Live By Night is the only true stinker. Big deal. What about Garner's flops? Nine Lives? Mother's Day?
Garner would never put up with that if it wasn't for the kids. In fact, wasn't it the nanny Affleck f'd with?
Gone Girl was atrociously bad. Live by Night is a colossal dud. He did pop in on Suicide Squad and that has to win Razzie for worst picture. The Company Men was embarrassing.
Seriously he *beep* his family life with his own hands.
