While Ben Affleck is known as one of the most popular and successful actors in Hollywood, he also plays the role of your every day — and sometimes embarrassing — dad to Violet Affleck. While attending a 2020 screening of his film “The Way Back,” Ben opened up about his daughter teasing him over his lack of texting and group chat skills. “My daughter is so funny, she teases me, she’s 14, and she’s like, ‘Why do they let you on this group chat? You don’t know what you’re talking about. Don’t pretend you have any idea what’s going on,'” he recalled, according to PeopleTV. Ben’s hilarious texting mishaps are not the only thing that his daughter has teased him about, though.

During the press tour for the 2017 “Justice League” film, the “Gone Girl” star revealed that his role as Batman embarrassed Violet to no end. “[For] my oldest daughter, I’m already embarrassing, you know what I mean?” he recalled during an interview with Entertainment Tonight. “I’m like, ‘How can I be embarrassing? I’m Batman. That embarrasses you?’ She’s like, ‘Dad, pick me up down the street.” While Ben’s dad antics and star power have sometimes had an embarrassing effect on Violet, his overall parenting skills have been praised by his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. “Our kids are lucky to have a dad who looks at them the way you look at them and loves them the way you love them @benaffleck,” the “Elektra” star wrote on Instagram for Father’s Day in 2018.
