It’s like he’s sprouted wings. Just a few days ago he spoke at the high school graduation of his friend Joe Kindregan who has has ataxia-telangiectasia, a rare, degenerative disease. On Sunday, Ben stopped by the Greater Boston Food Bank.
I got to see a lot of Roxbury, Dorchester, and also Lowell – a lot of neighborhoods I wasn’t that familiar with,” said Ben, who was on hand for America’s Second Harvest’s national “Goin’ Home for Hunger” campaign.
Ben, who spent Saturday night at Fenway Park with bride Jennifer Garner cheering on his beloved Red Sox [team stats] to a 11-6 victory against the Yankees, said he was “struck” during his location scout “by how much of the city was struggling in the face of needing something to eat and really not being able to afford, on their salaries, the basic fundemental necessities.”
He said, “Eighty percent of people have a place to live and just can’t afford to buy food.”
So, ah, Ben, did you pony up a few bucks to the Food Bank???
“I, ah, I am about to, ah, go in the back and write a check, yes,” Affleck answered, illiciting the crowd’s laughter after looking sheepishly at Food Bank biggie Catherine D’Amato.
After his charitable speech, Ben hit the Food Bank’s warehouse to sort produce for delivery.
“You can’t teach this,” he joked to volunteers between parceling out potato sacks and heads of green cauliflower into the food sorting boxes. “You either have the skill or you don’t.”
What’s up next for Ben? Possibly a stop at a children’s hospital?

I saw Ben in Harvard Square on Sunday. He’s really tall. Hot. I think that’s all you need to be in movies. Tall and hot.

Wow, 80% of people have a place to live and no food!!
I am flabbergasted. How did everyone get so fat if they are starving.

I saw Ben in Brentwood recently and I was shocked to see how old and worn out he looks. He’s got a huge ass, even bigger than my grandpa’s. This monster is no Angelina Jolie for sure, he is just desperate for papparazzi attention. He’ll play any card just to be in the public’s eye.

BLAH! THIS SORRY ASS IS BOX OFFICE POISON. BEN AND HIS FRANKENSTEIN LOOKING WIFE NEED TO PLAN THEIR RETIREMENT ASAP, THEY ARE AS GOOD AS YESTERDAY’S NEWS.

Poor sorry ass, who do you think you are?, out of a sudden everyone is trying to copy Miz Jolie, but there’s absolutely no one like her. Anelina is charitable out of goodness and Ben is doing charity just to attract the media. Ben and Jen’s publicists tip People magazine constantly to get their pics taken, these two are so desperate that they pimp their own little daughter just for pic.
