Fox News
Ben Affleck reflected on his childhood as a latch-key kid while on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," explaining he would go to the movies alone at five years old.
Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
"I was thinking about it the other day. I would go to the movies. I was an actual latch-key kid. I walked to school," he explained. "Like from the first grade, I had a key with a piece of yarn around my neck and I went to school, and we wanted to see the movies. I remember seeing ‘Star Wars.’ Took the subway like three stops, must have seen it 20 times."
When asked by host Jimmy Kimmel how old he was when he began traveling through the city on his own, Affleck admitted he was as young as five, six or seven years old.
