Ben Affleck, the Hollywood veteran, recently opened up about the unpredictable nature of his career. At 52, the actor and director shared his belief that one wrong remark or a failed movie could spell the end of his successful run. He emphasized the insecurity that permeates the industry, pointing out that the phone could stop ringing for anyone regardless of their role.

In an interview with Deadline, Affleck admitted that he's not assured of future projects. His focus is now on the upfront money, uncertain about how long the gravy train will last. This comes after a series of career ups and downs, including his role in the infamous flop "Gigli, " where he received a big paycheck despite the movie's poor performance.

Affleck co-founded Artists Equity, a production company aimed at fair pay distribution between creators and studios, reflecting a change in his perspective on the industry. His dating life seems to be on the back burner for now. The star, who recently went through a divorce with Jennifer Lopez, is more focused on his personal growth and other priorities.

Lopez, on the other hand, has no immediate plans to jump back into the dating pool. She's content with being single and working on herself, a sentiment she expressed in an interview with comedian Nikki Glaser. Lopez shared that her world had fallen apart this summer but she's now in a place where she doesn't regret the pain, seeing it as a necessary part of her growth.
