Ben Affleck is on the cover of the November 2007 issue of Details Magazine’s.

In his interview for the magazine Ben talks a lot about him and his passion for acting, directing and for his past passion. The most interesting moments is when he talks about being a director of a movie, also you will find out why he is giving up to his last name.

Lately he was busy with the directing the movie “Gone Baby Gone.” Here is what said Ben about directing the film: “I guess I just thought, I’ve seen it done enough,” he says of directing. “I’ve been on sets enough. I’m a writer. An amateur photographer. An actor.” He pauses, realizing he’s made the province of Coppola and Scorsese sound like finger painting. “I guess I just hoped the sum of those parts would come together enough that I’d be able to do it.”

About the 2004-2006 and that Bennifer effect on media and on him he speaks hardly: “It was probably bad for my career. What happens is this sort of bleed-over from the tabloids across your movie work. You go to a movie, you only go once. But the tabloids and Internet are everywhere. You can really subsume the public image of somebody. I ended up in an unfortunate crosshair position where I was in a relationship and [the media] mostly lied and inflated a bunch of salacious stuff for the sake of selling magazines. And I paid a certain price for that. Then, in concert with some movies that didn’t work…”
The Boston boy tells us how is great to direct a movie, and to see that is a good one, to be proud of: That’s why there’s something really great about directing-about having authorship over something. If you don’t like this movie, I’m the guy to see. I’m the guy to criticize. I take some measure of comfort in that. It’s fair, at least.”
