Poor Ben. That guy really needs a 6 month vacation where he can just find himself, get off alcohol, and recover. The guy is gonna be dead inside of 5 years at this rate.
 
Damn, they just got back together, not too long ago. All I can think of is:
"Ben... can you fucking believe it!? They chose YOU as best dressed at the Illuminati Ball"

How many times has she been divorced now ?

How many times is it for him ?

He needs Matt Damon and Kevin Smith by his side. To get him to relax and help himself out.

If rumours are true about him having issues, he has made some good films and directed a few good ones too. So hope he gets sorted.

This guy was miserable. Probably still is. Aside from JLo apparantly being an all-round terrible person I saw pics of his kids - looks miserable. Massive problem with alcoholism - miserable. His DC tenure down the drain and never having even reached half his potential as Batman - miserable.

I think we don't have reports of his alcoholism coming back, so I can imagine her dragging him to all the Hollywood parties where he was constantly exposed to alcohol was very difficult for him. Normally recovering alcoholics will try not to put themselves in a situation where they can be exposed to alcohol, a lot of them have very reduced social life.

Because if he didn't, fuck him?

Well, I'm sure Ben will rebound with another ingenue like Ana De Armas.....possibly Sydney Sweeney?

He needs to go the Leo Decaprio route of minimizing entanglements and maximizing healthy fun.

That looks like a guy who doesn't love being in the spotlight.

What's weird is that he's probably got enough money to never work again and do whatever he wants. I wonder if there is anything he would like to do.

I've heard he has social anxiety or something like that. So the constant hounding by paparazzi and needing to go to these big events to "stay relevant" I'm sure causes him issues. Throw alcoholism into the mix (if that is true) and I can see what he always has this hangdog appearance punctuated by moments of clarity and almost brilliance.

He ought to start a podcast. He certainly knows enough people and has enough stories to get it running. If he can get energy from that whilst minimizing his stress, might work out for him.

I don't think so, personally. I don't see why he'd benefit from it, it would likely open the door to more analysing and criticism, if I had to bet, he'd almost certainly not come across in a way that listeners would respond to favourably, etc. etc. It'd probably harm his position as an A-list Actor, most of whom studiously avoid saying *anything* divisive.

I could see this coming. When she announced that tour and then suddenly had to rework it due to poor ticket sales.. you can see her star power is falling. If I were her, I would stick to acting.
He will land on his feet and end up with some 28-31 year old model. Rinse and repeat!
