Ben Affleck talks about his love for video games in a new confession.

The Hollywood actor recently admitted that he enjoys playing fortnight online with a bunch of teenagers.

Speaking to Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce on their ‘New Heights’ podcast, the 54-year-old actor wrote: “Twelve-year-olds just f--- you up,” he quipped. “I get killed right away, and they taunt you and s---, like, ‘You suck! F--- you!’ ”

“I end up getting in arguments,” he added. “ ‘F--- you! I don’t suck, I’m a grown man!’

This comes as Ben Affleck joked that he is still afraid of his Gone Girl co-star Rosamund Pike.

The 54-year-old actor made the remark in a video interview with Variety, recalling some of his best-known performances, and said he is “still afraid” of Pike.
