VIDEO : Ben Affleck Reveals How He Turned His Failing Career Around

Sports aren't the only thing Ben Affleck talked about on the premiere of HBO's 'Any Given Wednesday' With Bill Simmons last night. The actor also got to chatting about the days of Bennifer! He vividly recalls his life rut and how he worked so hard to pull himself out of it saying, "I had broken up with Jennifer Lopez and I had like three or four movies in a row that had bombed." Affleck continued "That was where I found myself when I thought, 'Hey, I want to take up directing,' which is for people that are taken seriously. And that became my mantra--I'm just going to work harder than everybody else."
