“Like most things in life, you put yourself at a certain level, and I thought I was in good shape going into that film. Then I met Ben Affleck. What struck me first was how funny he was, but man was he ripped as well. I’ve never been the type of guy to get involved in any sort of macho one-upmanship, but I admit I was more than a bit intimidated, and it gave me the desire to push it a bit more because Ben is really built.”
He further added,
“The guy is huge. I’m puny by comparison. He is much bigger than I expected, with this huge presence and vast physicality. I had to step it up. When you see this mountain of a man walking around the set, you think, ‘I’ve got to get to the gym… yesterday.’”
