With his new movie "Argo" opening in
theaters on October 12th, Ben Affleck scored some added exposure by covering the
October 2012 issue of DETAILS magazine.
The 35-year-old actor looked handsome in
a Dior Homme blue coat and grey suit for the Mark Seliger shot front page while
dishing about everything from his upcoming film to being a working father of
three.
On what made him decide to star in
'Argo':
"I liked the idea of being in the movie,
pushing it forward. As an actor, you can steer a scene in another direction by
playing it a little differently. And honestly? I like being an actor, and I want
to keep having a career. It'd be very easy for me to get lost in directing for a
year and a half or two. It's a business with a very short memory."
On conserving his resources as a father
of three:
"Absolutely. Anytime you think, 'I'm
wasting my time here,' the first thought you have is 'I could go home and be
with my kids.' Now, you may go home and be with your kids and very quickly start
thinking, 'I wonder what's on the work front?' Because running around after
three kids is very trying. Now everything has to compete with being with my
family. I don't want to be a stay-at-home dad. Work is very important to me. I
like to work. So does my wife. But I need my work to mean something to me in
order for me to not be home with them."
