Ben Affleck’s kids aren’t always fans of his work, and they aren’t afraid to voice their opinions.

The actor, 52, appeared on a Thursday, April 24 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! and spoke about his new film The Accountant 2. Asked if his kids had enjoyed the film, Affleck says that they did, which is a rarity in his household.

“My kids, they’re like very tough and they don’t censor their criticism,” he tells host Jimmy Kimmel. “They’ll sit right next to me watching a movie and just, while it’s happening, ‘This is terrible. I mean, this is terrible! Why did you do this?’ Like, you can wait till it ended, you know what I mean, before.”

As for his newest film, Affleck says he was genuinely surprised when his kids — Samuel, 13, Seraphina, 16, and Violet, 19, whom he shares with ex Jennifer Garner — told him they enjoyed the movie.

“They liked it! At first, it was one of those things where they looked at me like you thought I was looking at you, which was like, ‘What’s the catch?’ ” he remembers.

“I was like, ‘What, you really liked it?’ And they were like, ‘Yeah, it was good.’ And they were shocked. You know what I mean? As if I got lucky. This magical accident happened, and something I did was okay.”

Although they’re fans of The Accountant 2, Affleck’s kids particularly disliked one film their dad made them watch during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“During COVID, all the kids were around the house, and I was like, ‘Hey, let’s watch a movie.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, maybe the kids will like Armageddon,’ ” Affleck shares. “Almost immediately,y it was like, ‘What is this? This is so stupid. Are you kidding me?’”

“My son was like, ‘This doesn’t make sense.’ I said, ‘This is not a logic-based film. That is not one of the criteria we used making this, ” jokes the dad of three of the apocalypse movie.
