Yes, Ben Affleck is spilling about J.Lo. But the rest of his life is so boring even the FBI yawned

While the satellite focuses connected what Ben Affleck says astir his 2nd divided from Jennifer Lopez, the prima seems much acrophobic astir that January sojourn from the FBI. Because it turns retired the FBI was not astatine each acrophobic astir him.

FBI agents visiting his location portion the Palisades occurrence burned is yet different occurrence successful the perpetually unfolding soap opera that has played retired astir Affleck since helium and Matt Damon won the archetypal screenplay Oscar for “Good Will Hunting” successful 1998.

You cognize the soap opera: The archetypal Jen divorce. The backmost tattoo. The drinking thing. More drinking. The rebound. The reunion. The 2nd Jen divorce. Sadfleck. And of course, the spot astir Affleck’s technically fantabulous skills successful the sack.

“Some radical similar to travel the soap opera ... and you became a quality successful that soap opera,” the actor-director-producer told GQ successful an interrogation published Tuesday. “You don’t constitute it, you don’t nonstop it, you don’t adjacent cognize you’re successful it, but you are.”

Affleck said helium is alert that the soap opera is often absurd.

“The FBI did, successful fact, sojourn my house. But this is beauteous revealing, right? So I travel location and I spot there’s a communicative with sources that say, ‘Hey, the FBI was astatine your house.’ I’m like, ‘Well, this is strange.’ So I telephone them and say, ‘Hey, FBI, were you astatine my house? Do you privation to speech to me?’”

We don’t know, the FBI says.

“I get transferred along. Finally, idiosyncratic who is really liable for what was happening was like, ‘Oh, we had nary thought that was your house.’”

FBI agents were simply going doorway to doorway ringing the doorbell and seeing if the radical who answered mightiness beryllium down to stock thing they mightiness person seen. Except Affleck’s doorway came with paparazzi lying successful wait, and a communicative was born.

“Whoever wrote the communicative made up thing astir however it was related to an probe astir a drone that I conjecture did clang into 1 of the helicopters [actually, it was an airplane] 2 oregon 3 miles up Mandeville Canyon. Turns out, no, it wasn’t astir that,” helium said.

“So it’s like: You’ve seen this lawsuit astir the FBI astatine my house. I had nary idea,” helium added. “My lone engagement was to way it down, fig it out.”

In reality, Affleck says he’s conscionable “a middle-aged guy,” oregon arsenic GQ described it, “a twice-divorced begetter of 3 who commutes to an bureau astir days.” Nothing newsworthy astir his day-to-day life.

Except — possibly — the causes of the J. Lo divorce.

But Affleck debunks adjacent that. “Yeah, there’s nary scandal, nary soap opera, nary intrigue,” Affleck told GQ. “The information is, erstwhile you speech to somebody, ‘Hey, what happened?’ Well, determination is no: ‘This is what happened.’ It’s conscionable a communicative astir radical trying to fig retired their lives and relationships successful ways that we each benignant of usually do.”

So, thing to spot here. Move along, FBI. You person different doors to sound on.
