Ben Affleck recalls his kids roasting him during premiere of ‘The Accountant 2’

Ben Affleck might want to think twice the next time he watches one of his movies with his kids.

On the April 23 episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Affleck shared what it was like to go to the premiere of his new movie, “The Accountant 2” with his kids — who apparently didn’t hold back their thoughts on him in the film.

“I was excited that they wanted to come see it, but my kids, they’re like very tough and they don’t censor their criticism,” he said.

“I mean, they’ll sit right next to me watching a movie and while it’s happening (say), ‘This is terrible. This is terrible! Why did you do this?’” Affleck laughed. “Like, you could wait till it ended, you know what I mean?”

Although they had some notes about the film, Affleck said they did enjoy the movie.

“The kids liked it though?” Kimmel asked.

“They did!” Affleck replied. “At first, it was one of those things where they looked at me like you thought I was looking at you, like what’s the catch? I was like, ‘You really liked it?’ They were like, ‘yeah, it was good!’ And they were shocked, like I got lucky, like this magical accident happened and something I did was OK.”

Affleck said he remembered a time when he tried to have a movie night with his kids during Covid but it didn’t work out. He said they didn’t like the movie selection and it ended up ruining the moment.

“During Covid, all the kids were in the house and I was like, ‘Hey, let’s watch a movie.’ I thought maybe the kids will like ‘Armageddon,’” he recalled.

“(But) almost immediately, it was like, ‘What? What is this? This is so stupid. Are you kidding me?’” Affleck continued. “My son was like, ‘This doesn’t make sense.’ I was like, ‘This is not a logic-based film! That is not one of the criteria we used making this!’”

Affleck shares his children, Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 13, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. His second ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, also attended the L.A. premiere of “The Accountant 2,” with her children — Max and Emme, both 17.

On the red carpet, Affleck spoke to “Entertainment Tonight” about what it was like to have both his kids and J. Lo’s kids there.

“I’m very, very excited,” he said, before adding, “I love her kids. They’re wonderful.”
