Actor Ben Affleck recently shared that he frequently engages in competitive shooter games, including Fortnite. During these online sessions, he occasionally finds himself in heated verbal exchanges with younger players who taunt him after defeating his character.
Affleck noted that his upcoming Netflix thriller, Animals, incorporates costume designs influenced by the aesthetic of Fortnite skins. Specifically, a character in the film wears a fuzzy bunny mask, a choice inspired by his son's interest in the game's unique character outfits.
While the actor believes he possesses skill in first-person shooters, he admits that younger players consistently outperform him. He humorously recounted instances where he attempts to defend his gaming ability against children who mock his performance in voice chat.
Beyond Fortnite, Affleck maintains a broader interest in gaming, including sports titles like Madden and 2K. He has previously expressed a particular affinity for Valorant, having attended esports events and participated in watch parties for the game.
