Ben has changed quite a lot from his Bennifer days thanks to the new ladies in his life. We're glad he has made this comeback and clearly grown up. He admits he is very protective of Jen and Violet and doesn't want them to have to suffer because of his poor choices. That will definitely make a man change his ways. Here's highlights:

  • "I've never been very judicious about my own behavior or choices until they had an impact on people other than me," Affleck, 34, tells USA Today. "Obviously, my wife. And my daughter, who's going to have my last name – I don't want her to mutter it over a drink. I want her to be proud of her old man."
  • "I'm extraordinarily lucky and privileged," he says, "and I've tried not to be bitter, but I have developed a reactionary defensiveness." He adds, "But for my child, she didn't make the bargain I did. She didn't make that choice. And I don't want her to have to pay for the parents' sins. I try to protect her privacy. I'll end up in the magazines, and that's life, and I can live with it, but I try to shield my daughter."

At the same time, it seems like Ben and Jen are really good at not being too overprotective of Violet. He shouldn't have anything to worry about. If he keeps going like he's going, Violet is going to grow up to be very proud of her papa. For more pics just read more
