Ben Affleck may be one of the biggest stars in the world, but he’s still human.
Like any other human being, Affleck has regrets.
He recently opened up about the thing he regrets most in an interview withThe New York Times.
Affleck’smarriage to actress Jennifer Garnerended in 2018 after the couple had been separated for years.
That same year, he found himself in rehab for the third time.
“The biggest regret of my life is this divorce,” he said.
“Shame is really toxic.
There is no positive byproduct of shame.
It’s just stewing in a toxic, hideous feeling of low self-worth and self-loathing.”
“You’re trying to make yourself feel better…
But that ends up making your life worse.
Then you do more of it to makethatdiscomfort go away.
Then the real pain starts.
It becomes a vicious cycle you might’t break.”
He added that his heavy drinking added to the tension with Garner, with whom he has three children.
“I drank relatively normally for a long time,” said Affleck.
“I have certainly made mistakes.
I have certainly done things that I regret.
