February 26, 2020 - 16:23 GMT Aisha Nozari Ben Affleck has opened up in an emotional interview with Diane Sawyer for Good Morning America, revealing that he"doesn't want to let his kids down". The first installment of the two-part interview aired on Thursday, and in it, Ben spoke about everything from fatherhood to alcoholism, saying:"I really don't want my children to pay for my sins or to be afraid for me which is one of the hard parts of being the child of an alcoholic.

The Batman star also discussed the effect his high-profile divorce had on his children, despite not mentioned ex Jennifer Garner by name. Ben explained:"If your child is suffering something that's a level of pain that is just not easily gotten past, not easily forgotten, not easily forgiven. It's hard. You're not going to avoid causing your kids pain - all pain - pain is part of life.

Speaking further about his divorce, the 47-year-old told Diane:"I'd never thought I was going to get divorced. I never wanted to get divorced, I never thought I was going to be a divorced person. I really didn't want to be a split family with my children." Like this story? Sign up to our newsletter to get other stories like this delivered straight to your inbox.
