Ben Affleck Says He Wishes His Sobriety Was 'Anonymous'

"And not because I have any shame with it or anything," the Oscar winner said in an interview with GQ.
Ben Affleck is opening up about his sobriety ― and why he almost wishes fewer people knew about it.
In one of the actor’s most recent movies, “The Way Back,” he plays a recovering addict.
While Affleck has spoken about addiction openly in the past, he told GQ Magazine in a recent interview that he “maybe underestimated the degree to which” his alcoholism or recovery would become a talking point going forward.
“I didn’t have any ambitions to be the national spokesman for recovering alcoholics,” he said in the cover story, published on Tuesday.
“And not because I have any shame with it or anything,” Affleck added. “I just find that, I’ve been sober for more than five years, it’s just not something that is at the forefront of my mind. It’s not the central preoccupation of my life. But at the time, it was something that I was definitely wrestling with and thinking about.”
