Ben Affleck and Sacha Baron Cohen did not hold back when chatting together during their Variety‘s Actors on Actors episode. During their conversation, the actors joked with one another about on-screen nudity.
“So obviously, you’re a two-time Academy Award winner, a multiple Golden Globe winner, you were nominated for best depiction of nudity, sexuality or seduction by the Alliance of Women Film Journalists in Gone Girl.
“Particularly from before and after I started directing, because it was really instructive,” Affleck explained. “I learned more about acting from directing than I did from acting classes. There’s something really valuable about being on the other side, and seeing what works and what doesn’t. And what you can do editorially, and just getting used to the sound of your own f**king stupid voice… I feel like my own acting, at least by my own standards, has gotten better as I’ve gotten older, and had more life experiences and had more stuff to access.
