“He is so magical and such a gentleman” – Ben Affleck proclaims his love for Brendan Gleeson

Batman loves Brendan...

When he's not busy donning a cowl and cape to become the Caped Crusader, Ben Affleck is balancing bank accounts and beating up badguys in his brand new cinematic release, The Accountant. Ahead of the film's release on 4 November, Eoghan Doherty met up with Ben (that's right, Eoghan foolishly thinks he's on first-name terms with Mr Affleck after spraying aftershave on the sometime superhero earlier this year) and his delightfully friendly co-star, Anna Kendrick. The pair chat about working together on The Accountant, their Irish connections (which fascinatingly involve the police and made-up identities) and the Oscar-winner reveals just how much he and his acting partner love Ireland's national thespian treasure, Brendan Gleeson, and his super-talented son, Domhnall. Well, they're only human after all.
