Affleck: 'Lopez Was Bad For My Career' 9 July 2009 9:06 AM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news Ben Affleck has spoken out about his
high-profile relationship with former girlfriend Jennifer Lopez - insisting it was bad for his movie career. The actor began dating the singer in 2002 after
starring in Gigli with her, and the pair later became engaged before splitting up shortly before their scheduled wedding in 2004. Affleck is adamant he should
never have got involved in the first place - because the publicity surrounding their romance tainted his career. He says, "I was no longer in control of
my life. I thought I wanted certain things, but I didn't. I got lost. I felt suffocated, miserable and gross. I should never have gone down that route or
got sucked in to all the publicity. "I was typecast as myself. Too many people weren't getting past what they read about me. That was damaging. I can
tell from experience it's bad for you, and bad for your career. So I took a break, went away for a while and let things calm down." And he admits he
is much happier with his wife Jennifer Garner and their two daughters, three-year-old Violet and six-month-old Seraphina to look after. He adds, "Work has
taken a back seat. My job is not as important as it was. Saying that having a family changed my life is a cliche. But it's true - it re-arranged my life
and made me see clearly."

Cant believe he is still talking about her after all this time. Especially when she has kept her silence. Such a media whore!

It was bad for his career. Anytime your private life overshadows your work its bad for an actor. It usually means you are in the spotlight for some circus act.

Ben will never be with anyone as Hawt as J lo ever in life. Look who he's married too! I think he was with her for the novelty of it. |

Whatever Ben.
The media created a big hoopla over Jennifer before they hooked up. She married that model dude,went straight to Diddy,and than Cris Judd. She was in the magazines,tv shows almost everyday. Did Ben not know what he was getting into? Nobody told him to date her or give her that phat pink diamond. He made those decisions. Didn't he make Daredevil while dating Jennifer Lopez? |

Pearl Harbor was even worse for his career given his wooden performance of an already wooden script. But maybe it was J-Lo who made him act wooden and choose
bad scripts.
