Speaking to MTV, Ben said: “It’s ironic, because David said to me from the beginning, this is a warts and all movie. It can have no vanity. You have to see the naked underbelly of this character.”

“It’s gotta be like in Europe, they just don’t give a shit about any of that stuff, and they just play real people, you know? And so that was the spirit of the thing.” Ben bares all in the movie adaptation of Gone Girl While we are a bit cooler about nudity than our American audience friends, it is refreshing to see one of Hollywood's main leading men happy to bare all for camera, instead of just the women. The move puts Affleck among the ranks of other carefree and clothes-free big screen actors like Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, Jason Segel and Ewan McGregor. Affleck has enjoyed something of a career renaissance over the past few years, and the future looks bright too as he'll soon take on one of the most iconic roles of all time, caped crusader Batman.
