Yay Ben! Glad he quit smoking. I'm looking forward to seeing his directorial debut. It's always interesting to see someone branch out and try new things.

im sooo happyyy for him

He did not write Gone baby, Gone. He adapted it into a screenplay. The book is by one of my favorite authors and I hope he did not ruin it being I feel he is lacking in the talent department.

his directorial debut has morgan freeman and ed harris, two of the best! those two usually don't do crappy movies, so i'm intrigued to how this will turn out. it'd be nice if ben could become one of the fine actor-directors like warren beatty or george clooney...but i won't get ahead of myself. time will tell.

i like thaqt dirty look:P

i cannot wait to see Gone baby Gone! It had better be good...i love the kenzie and genarro (sp?) series and wish there were more!!

He looks stinky and dirty like he needs to take a bath and get a fresh shave.

I'm so glad he stopped smoking, I think it's a nasty habit, and it makes him that much hotter that he's no longer smoking. IMHO

He looks so much like the father of my kids it's scary. I guess that's why I like him so much I wish him all the best...he seems happy and grounded nowadays. It's great that he quit smoking.

I adore Ben A!

Yuck, five packs a day while filming! Good job he quit, it sounds like he packed a few years of smoking into a few weeks. I'm sure his wife is happy he's done with the nasty habit.

ha! there must be something to that..i had a feiend whose dad caught him smoking when he was really young..and as punishment he made him smoke a pack of cigarettes in one sitting..like he couldn't do anything til he finished. he said it was so gross that to this day he can't even look at a cigarette without wanting to throw up

I'm really curious to see what he did with Gone Baby Gone. Not sure if I should re-read them (I think the third one was when they started getting good, the first one was almost painful but they were great by the end.).

Thats what I heard.

I'm keepin my fingers crossed that it is good. He needs to keep rollin' on the good movie streak. Poor Violet needs some pretty clothes and a college education. haha.

He just seems like a really great guy. Good for him for quitting smoking! I think Jen Garner is a total healthnut (and especially now with Violet) and I am sure she breathed a sigh of relief over this

LOL @ that cute little soundbite- "My wife woke my up to tell I'd been nominated- and to get me to change the baby" hee hee, they are just too cute! (and he must be so relieved he didn't marry that 'other' Jennifer, bletch!)

Good for him. Smoking that much cigarettes would gross me out too.

ooo I love the scruff...

That's great! Smoking is really a bad habit.

good 4 him 4 quitting
i luv him now that hes with jen

good for him....i watched this movie and was sooooo confused!!! lol

I hope he sticks with the no smoking, it's so bad for his precious Violet to be around that icky second hand smoke.

Haha, hey babe, congrats on the Golden Globe, now go change a diaper! That's normal.

Ben is really the nicest guy! He always listens to his woman. With JLo he dressed the way she liked. With Garner he can relax in the dressing up department, she works with him on his health. Because of her, he has cleaned up, and become skinny & healthy and non-smoking. I respect that, it must have been hard work for both. And their daughter benefits from it as well. Well done B&J!

I just have to add, that Ben is still SMOKING HOT!!!

glad to know he quit.
