Ben
Affleck's
new
film
Smokin
Aces'
made
him
quit
smoking.
The
actor
plays
chain-smoking
bondsman
Jack
Dupree
in
the
new
action
film
and
admits
the
amount
of
cigarettes
he
had
to
puff
on
for
the
role
have
put
him
off
nicotine
for
good.
He
told
People
magazine:
"The
whole
week
that
I
shot,
I
smoked,
like,
five
packs
a
day.
By
the
time
the
movie
was
over,
I
was
so
sick
of
smoking,
I
just
didn't
want
to
do
it
anymore,
and
I
quit." Affleck,
34,
is
delighted
he
has
a
permanent
record
of
the
last
time
he
smoked.
He
added:
"It's
pretty
cool
that
I
have
this
celluloid
record
of
the
last
time
I
smoked."
Affleck
has
also
revealed
that
his
actress
wife
Jennifer
Garner
broke
the
news
to
him
that
he
had
been
nominated
for
a
Golden
Globe
award
while
directing
him
to
a
dirty
nappy.
The actor - who has a one-year-old daughter Violet with Garner - said: "I was very happy. My wife was up early with our child and woke me up to tell me I'd been nominated - and to get me to change the baby." Affleck eventually lost out in the Best Performance by an Actor In A Supporting Role category to Eddie Murphy who walked away with the prize at last month's ceremony for his performance in 'Dreamgirls'.
