Ben Affleck is considered one of the best actors of recent times. The American catapulted himself to fame with the turn of the new millennium, but before that he had already had contact with the big screen in films such as ‘Armageddon’ or ‘Good Will Hunting’, for which he was recognised by the industry.
But during those years, Ben Affleck also played other roles that he could have done better, as the artist himself has confessed. It was in the movie ‘Chasing Amy’ where Ben Affleck realized that something would have to change in him, so he considered it as “internalized homophobia”.
Still in love? Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck share a subtle moment that says it all
In this film, Ben Affleck has to kiss a cast member. Recently, in an interview, the actor reflected on his role in ‘Chasing Amy’ and how much things have changed in the last 30 years since the film was released.
“It was very suggestive to me in terms of the homosexuality between the two friends. What is also a love relationship between two men? Because you love this other man, we have friendships with men that we love very much,” explained the actor.

Ben Affleck: “I did a lousy and unconvincing job”
After mentioning the affair between Holden and Banky, the actor reflected on it: “It was a way of looking at, well, how is this also like gay relationships? Or maybe there’s a continuation or a spectrum, and I thought that was honest”.
Finally, he acknowledged what he had to do to be able to face the role in ‘Chasing Amy’: “Frankly, I had to challenge my own internalized homophobia because I found it really difficult to kiss Jason. And I thought, ‘This is really embarrassing. It’s something I clearly have internalized. Why is it so hard for me to kiss a man?'”
Finally, the actor assessed how his work on the film went: “I still think I did a lousy, unconvincing job, and I’m very disappointed. I would love to have the opportunity to do better.”

Emanuel Navarrete vs. Charly Suarez fight prediction, odds, start time, undercard, where to watch, preview
Getty Images Emanuel Navarrete will look to add to his already impressive resume on Saturday when he puts the WBO junior lightweight title on the line against Charly Suarez, and he's bringing some significant momentum into the fight.Navarrete had a 33-fight winning streak -- during which he won world titles at junior featherweight, featherweight and junior lightweight -- snapped in November 2023 when he fought to a majority draw with Robson Conceicao. While the draw meant he had retained his title, Navarrete still attempted a jump to lightweight in pursuit of a title in the fourth weight class in his career, but came up short against Denys Berinchyk in their WBO title fight.That two-fight stretch had many wondering if time had begun to catch up with Navarrete after more than 40 trips to the ring.

Vlkanova měl první hattrick nadosah. Alespoň mám stále na co cílit, pousmál se
„Karvinou jsme předčili úplně ve všem. K tomu jsme vstřelili krásné góly. Jsem rád jak za Adama Vlkanovu, tak i za Pištu (Michálika), který na gól čekal strašně dlouho. Ve třech ze čtyř poločasů jsme byli jednoznačně lepší, proto zaslouženě postupujeme,“ radoval se trenér Hradce Králové David Horejš.Hosté se na hřišti Karviné poprvé prosadili už ve 3. minutě, kdy Daniel Samek po rohovém kopu dostal míč mezi nohama Jakuba Lapeše do branky. Praporek v ruce asistenta na pomezí Jaroslava Hádka šel ale okamžitě nahoru na znamení ofsajdu, což vzápětí potvrdil i VAR.Hradecký elán ale odvolaný gól nezabrzdil. Naopak. Ofenzivní triko Vlkanova, Mihálik a Slončík bylo k nezastavení a bylo odměněno parádními góly. V 8. minutě Vlkanova ve vápně obehrál trio karvinských obránců a poslal balon do sítě odrazem od horní tyčky. Ve 23. hosté předvedli parádní akci na tři doteky od vlastního pokutového území, na jejímž konci Mihálik přesnou střelou na […]
