Ben Affleck says he's 'one errant remark' away from being canceled amid Jennifer Lopez divorce

Ben Affleck has said he fears he is one bad move away from being canceled.

It comes as the Oscar-winner is currently going through a divorce with Jennifer Lopez - whom he was only married to for two years.

Lopez filed for divorce with the Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing 'irreconcilable differences', back in August - soon after it was heard that Affleck didn't attend the 55-year-old's birthday party - which featured a host of celebrities.

Since then he's been rather quiet on his relationship with his estranged wife, although he did offer up a surprising three-word response when asked about her in an interview.

Anyway, now, during a lengthy interview with Deadline about his and Matt Damon's company Artists Equity, he touched on his fears of being canceled.

When asked about the company's idea of making participants shareholders instead of paying actors huge amount of money upfront, Affleck replied: "We’re all subject to this sort of insecurity in this business. Whether we’re actors or directors or writers, the phone could stop ringing for us. This is the time to take the money. But what that does is puts people at cross purposes.

"The people invested in the movie are not aligned exactly with the people who are doing it. And it’s not because they’re trying to just be extractive, it’s because they’ve learned, well, this is the only thing I can count on, this upfront money. I don’t know when this might go away.

"I’m one errant remark away from being canceled, or I’m one movie bomb away from never working again, and I’ve got a family and so forth. Naturally, people seek to do what’s in their best interest.

"It’s trying to straddle that divide and say, look, we’re going to tell you upfront, you have to invest something into the movie."

So the 52-year-old is at least conscious of being canceled, although I can't see that ever happening as he seems like a great guy.

In fact, during an interview with Entertainment Weekly last week (November 4), as he heaped praise on his estranged wife Lopez.

He said: "Jennifer is spectacular."

How did she respond?

Lopez was told how Affleck described her, to which she responded 'thank you' to the reporter at Unstoppable's UK premiere, before being asked how she would describe his producing.

Responding, Lopez said: “I would describe all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes as spectacular and wonderful."

Yes, rather brutally she just kind of ignored Affleck.
