Ben Affleck has revealed that he still plays online first-person shooter games, and occasionally gets into heated arguments with younger gamers.

Back in 2023, Affleck attended the Champions tournament in Los Angeles with his son, and even weighed in on organisers nerfing Jett in the team-based first-person shooter. 

In a new interview with Jason and Travis Kelce on their podcast, Affleck revealed that he’s always playing video games, including and and with his son.

“I [also] play first person shooter games. I think I’m good and then 12-year-olds just fuck me up,” he said. “I try to come out and I’m like, ‘Here I come’ [but] I get killed right away. Then they taunt you [and] I end up getting in arguments. ‘Fuck you! I don’t suck! I’m a grown man!’”

He went on to call out “bullshit” skins that set you back real world money. He then revealed that his current movie takes inspiration from those same skins for the mysterious kidnapper, who wears a giant rabbit mask. “I thought these costumes are so kind of random and unusual, that’s what I based the costumes on,” said Affleck. “[In the movie] I thought he’d be getting them off games .”

Political thriller is out today (October 9) on Netflix. “How far would you go to protect your family? And who can you trust? In , Los Angeles mayoral candidate Mark Kimball (Ben Affleck) faces those very questions. When he receives an ominous phone call, Mark and his wife Abigail (Kerry Washington) scramble to respond to a threat that could upend their carefully constructed life,” reads the official logline. 

Affleck has said he has no interest in real world politics after starring in . “The way it’s constructed now is so geared around money, sound bites, cruelties and gotchas, and little snarky things that really have nothing to do with people’s lives whatsoever,” he said in an interview with . “And increasingly, it’s easier to get votes appealing to the worst in people than it is appealing to the best in them.”
