Have you ever wondered what two-time Oscar-winner Ben Affleck thinks about Fortnite skins, and the game generally? You can now rest easy, as the man himself has weighed in with some strong takes.
Appearing on the New Heights podcast with brothers Jason and Travis Kelce, Affleck said he’s a big gamer, and is particularly fond of first-person shooter games, so when he tried Fortnite, he thought he’d hold his own. That wasn’t the case, though. He said not only did he get wiped out immediately, but the 12-year-olds he was playing against made fun of him after taking him out.
Affleck said he got heated and shouted back at the kids: “I don’t suck! I’m a grown man!”
Affleck also told a brief story about how his son wanted Fortnite skins for Christmas, and he was shocked to learn the specific skins his son wanted cost hundreds of dollars. “They ain’t even real? Just to wear in the game? That’s bullsh**,” Affleck said.
Affleck is a big fan of the competitive shooter Valorant. In the movie Gone Girl, Affleck’s character can be seen playing Battlefield 3.
Affleck is not the only person who has some strong words for the state of Fortnite. Writing for GameSpot, Phil Owen recently talked about why Fortnite sucks this season.
