Ben Affleck has thanked Bradley Cooper and Robert Downey Jr. for being so "supportive" after his battle with alcoholism.
The ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice’ star has praised the two Hollywood legends for helping him cope with his addiction.
Speaking to Good Morning America, he said: "You know, guys I found like Bradley and Robert have been really helpful to me and really supportive, and they’re wonderful men."
Meanwhile, Ben previously admitted alcoholism is a "part of his life" so he is happy to open up about his addiction.
The 47-year-old actor said: "It doesn’t really bother me to talk about alcoholism and being an alcoholic. It’s part of my life, it’s something that I deal with. It doesn’t have to subsume my whole identity and be everything but it is something that you have to work at. I had a problem and I really want to address it and I take some pride in that. It’s about yourself, your life, your family … we encounter these kinds of hurdles and we have to deal with them."
And the ‘Triple Frontier’ star praised his "wonderful" ex-wife Jennifer Garner for being such a "great mom" and support to their three children – Violet, 14, Seraphina, 11, and seven-year-old Samuel.
He said: "She’s wonderful. When somebody’s the mother of your kids, they’re going to be the most important central person in your life and that’s good. I hope I’m a pretty good dad. I certainly try very hard. I’m lucky they got a great mom, and she helps out a great deal with making sure that we co-parent in as good a way as possible. Dads are so important to kids, and it’s our responsibility to be there for them – to be present, to be mindful, to be attentive, to be part of their lives, to be as in it as moms. That’s really the central preoccupation in my life. The focus of my life is what I love doing. It’s what makes me happy, and the rest of the stuff kind of follows."
