Ben Affleck talks working on back-to-back films with wife Jennifer Lopez and ... trends now
Ben Affleck sat for an interview with CBS Sunday Morning and revealed he's reached peak happiness in his life and career.
Sitting alongside his best friend Matt Damon, 52, the 50-year-old filmmaker discussed their upcoming film Air.
The movie, which premiered at SXSW Saturday and comes out April 5, portrays how Nike worked to secure a deal with Michael Jordan in the 1980s.
And next on his roster, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-bred talent will produce another upcoming sports biopic that will feature his wife Jennifer Lopez, 53.

Matt added somewhat jokingly, 'Plus, we hit our 50s, so you can see the end of the tunnel.'
Ben continued to stress the joy that creating Air brought him as he shared, 'I find the most wonderful thing about it was I loved coming to work every day. I loved seeing Matt.'
