The
renowned
Hollywood
star
Ben
Affleck
states
that
he
had
committed
a
lot
of
mistakes
during
his
initial
years
of
success
in
Hollywood.
The
Batman
v
Superman
star
revealed
that
getting
fame
at
the
very
early
age
had
literally
made
things
tough
for
him.
He
said
he
got
drifted
off
his
focus
because
of
the
early
fame
he
received.
"I'd
always
had
a
strong
idea
about
my
values
and
the
direction
I
wanted
to
be
headed
in,
then
I
ran
into
getting
famous
and
it
totally
spun
me
around
and
I
flailed
around
for
a
few
years.
When
you're
a
young
man
in
your
20s,
part
of
that
is
making
mistakes
and
learning
from
them." Said
Affleck.
"I
just
made
those
in
front
of
everybody,
rather
than
privately.
There's
stuff
I
look
back
on
and
kind
of
cringe
at
but
I
always
tried
to
treat
other
people
well.
My
parents
imbued
that
in
me
and
the
mistakes
I
made
were
mostly
just
of
the
embarrassing
kind," Affleck
stated
further.
However,
the
actor
does
not
want
the
same
things
to
happen
with
his
children.
He
is
very
cautious
about
keeping
his
children
away
from
fame
and
spotlight.
"I
think
becoming
a
father
makes
you
see
the
world
differently
and
it's
good.
"I'm
at
peace
with
paying
my
own
price,
what
I'm
not
at
peace
with
is
when
it
invades
on
my
kids' space
and
time.
They
didn't
make
any
bargains."
Said
Affleck.
"I
try
to
shelter
them
as
best
I
can.
That's
my
only
real
gripe,"
he
added
further.
