Ben Affleck 'Could Be a Stand-Up Comedian,' Says Gone Girl Costar Rosamund Pike
Fans know Ben Affleck as an Oscar-winning filmmaker, actor, screenwriter, and one hot husband and doting dad.
A lesser-known talent?
"When we first were doing makeup tests I thought, 'This guy could be a standup comedian,' " says Affleck's Gone Girl costar Rosamund Pike. "He has characters and impersonations ... accents. He quickly crystallizes you."
The two star together as husband and wife in perhaps this fall's most anticipated film, director David Fincher's adaptation of author Gillian Flynn's best-selling novel about a marriage gone very wrong. The film opens Oct. 3.
"He's so good in the film. You watch this guy get tossed and turned," Pike, 35, says of Affleck, 42, who from the get-go has the finger pointed at him when his wife goes missing.
