Family is most important for Ben Affleck

LONDON - Actor Ben Affleck has revealed that his family is the most important thing to him.

The actor has said that as much as he enjoyed the challenge of both starring in and directing his new film, ‘The Town’, he is driven by his family rather than his work.

“It’s a cliche, but it really is my family and my kids that make me happier than anything has,” Sky News quoted him as saying.

“This movie has been wonderful and I’ve been thrilled but these things come and go at the end of the day, it’s really the family that’s most important,” he said.

He admits that since he had two daughters with his actress wife Jennifer Garner, the ladies have mellowed him in his life.

“I’m very lucky to find myself where I am so I just knock wood every day” he said.

‘The Town’, which also stars Jeremy Renner John Hamm and British actor Pete Postlethwaite is released in the UK this weekend. (ANI)
