Ben Affleck reflects on acting skills

Recently, Ben Affleck reflected on the past and told Sacha Baron Cohen how he thinks his acting skills have improved with the age.

The 48-year-old said, “feel like my own acting, at least by my own standards, has gotten better as I've gotten older, and had more life experiences and had more stuff to access”.

Moreover, he disclosed that directing Argo and The Town enhanced his acting, he stated: “This was a bit atypical for me. I've kind of changed as an actor, my approach, particularly from before and after I started directing, because it was really instructive”.

“I learned more about acting from directing than I did from acting classes. There's something really valuable about being on the other side, and seeing what works and what doesn't. And what you can do editorially, and just getting used to the sound of your own stupid voice,” he added.
