The Oscar-winner recalled feeling 'a lot of self-doubt' from the public's reaction to the 2003 film, which co-starred Jennifer Lopez.

“But for being a movie that’s such a famous bomb and a disaster, very few people actually saw the movie,” he continued. “It doesn’t work, by the way. It’s a sort of horse’s head on a cow’s body.”

The actor, who said he learned about the craft of filmmaking from watching Brest work, claimed he has appeared in “five movies, at least,” that have lost more money thanstill got a bad wrap. “The funny name, the Jennifer Lopez romance and overexposure of that, it was kind of a perfect storm,” Affleck reasoned.

“I thought my job was to be a cipher,” he continued about his view of acting at the time. “I can see now how people looked at me and thought of this person as some callow frat guy who’s cavalier, or has too much. It engendered a lot of negative feelings in people about me. There’s that aspect of people that I got to see that was sad and hard, it was depressing and really made me question things and feel disappointed and have a lot of self-doubt.

The 49-year-old Oscar winner added that the experience wasn’t all bad, as it encouraged him to pursue directing, which he called “the real love of my professional life,” and it allowed him to meet Lopez, with Affleck saying they share a “really meaningful” relationship. The pair split up less than a year after
