Ben Affleck has spoken for the first time on his divorce from Jennifer Lopez.

The Oscar winner, 52, opened up about the 2024 end to his brief marriage to Lopez in a new profile for GQ.

“My life is pretty drama-free. … I’m sure in your mind you’re thinking, oh, well, you just got divorced. That’s not drama-free. And I understand that instinct, but all of this is pretty adult, and for all the sensational stuff that gets written, if somebody sat down and talked to me about it, and I said, ‘Well, this is really the experience,’ their eyes would glaze over with boredom,” the “Good Will Hunting” scribe and star told the magazine in January, on the heels of finalizing his divorce from Lopez early in the month. “There’s no scandal, no soap opera, no intrigue.”

kimmel prods pascal over his 6-shot coffee order

Pedro Pascal would like a little bit of privacy when it comes to his coffee order.

Photos of the “Last of Us” star holding a coffee, which revealed his highly caffeinated order of six espresso shots on the side of the cup, went viral last year, and Pascal is less than pleased to have had his “incredibly private” morning sip exposed.

“I cannot begin to tell you how violating this was,” he said, laughing, on a recent “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” episode after the host prodded Pascal about why he needs six espresso shots to get his day started.

Pascal went on to provide “so much context” as to how his coffee order evolved, saying, “It was always a quad, but then I feel like the cups got bigger and, I don’t know, the shots got less strong and at some point it became six.

“It was an incredibly private morning ritual that I never wanted anyone to know about,” he said. “I don’t have more coffee for the rest of the day, I swear!”
