Ben Affleck can act (questionable), write and direct - but he has a pretty weird attitude to sex scenes in films, it appears.
On The Graham Norton Show, he and his co-star Sienna Miller talked about their new film, which Ben directed, Live By Night.
It's about gangsters in Boston having sex, apparently.
"You did write yourself A LOT of sex scenes," commented cheeky chappy Graham Norton.
"Why else be the director?" said Ben Affleck, shrugging and laughing. Well everyone has their own motivations behind their career, I suppose.

When Ben and Sienna were shooting the sex scenes for the film (and apparently there were a lot) - Ben decided just to....um keep shooting after he had finished. So he told his cinematopgrapher to keep the film rolling so they could keep doing variations of the scene.
"You do scenes, you go over and over again without cutting the flow. I was in my mind thinking, we're going again. And Sienna started laughing and said, 'Who do you think you are?'" he told Graham.
"How many times can one man climax?" she asked, incredulously. "I missed that memo."

According to The Independent, poor Sienna Miller filmed an entire day of sex scenes - nine whole hours!
"I don't know what you're trying to tell people, Ben, about your sexual prowess - your abilities," she said.
Hmmm I think he's trying to say he can go all night. Maybe this film is basically one big advert for his sexual adroitness.
When Sienna started laughing when he kept going after he had climaxed a few times, he said: "'Laughing isn't really the response that I'm looking for with this."
Ben, it's the only response you're going to get I'm afraid.
