Ben Affleck on Argo, His Distaste for Politics, and the Batman Backlash

Another Playboy interview, this time a current one with Ben Affleck. In many ways, it’s similar to the previously posted Carson interview. The interview asks blunt, pointed questions, and Affleck gives honest answers.

One of the lighter (but still poignant) exchanges:

PLAYBOY: Since you don’t play cards anymore, what is your current guilty pleasure?

AFFLECK: A 1966 Chevelle, and the slight guilt comes from its carbon footprint. [laughs] I try to stay away from too much guilty stuff. Between working and then being home and spending time with my kids, I don’t have too much time. I still have my motorcycle, which I don’t drive too often. You have to have something, some contact with that part of yourself that’s not just putting shoes on kids.
