Ben Affleck, reflecting on his role in the upcoming The Accountant 2, recently shared his perspective on navigating the complexities of relationships. The Oscar-winning actor stated that he identifies with his character, Christian Wolff’s, challenges in matters of the heart, particularly the difficulty in interpreting romantic signals.
Affleck on Understanding Relationship Signals
During a press event, Affleck, 52, elaborated on his portrayal of Christian Wolff, highlighting the character’s relatable struggles in forming connections. He noted a personal understanding of Christian’s quest for intimacy.
“This is a person who is attempting to establish a relationship with a woman, and he is trying to decipher the process,” Affleck explained about his character. “How does one present themselves? He is not at ease with self-promotion and struggles with the nuances of flirting. He feels awkward, much like many individuals.”
The director of Argo further commented on the universal nature of early relationship uncertainty. “Figuring out relationships is a challenge for everyone, especially in the preliminary phases,” Affleck added. “You’re attempting to assess, ‘What does this gesture indicate? Is this person interested in me? Will I face embarrassment if I approach them?'”
