Jennifer Garner Urged ‘The Way Back’s Director To Not Give Up On Ben Affleck After Relapse
Jennifer Garner, 47, made sure Ben Affleck, 47, kept his role as Jack Cunningham, a former basketball all-star struggling with addiction, in the new film The Way Back when he relapsed in 2018, and she did so by going straight to the film’s director, Gavin O’Connor. Gavin, 55, sat down for an interview with 34th Street Magazine and talked about how the actor’s former wife directly asked him to not “pull the plug” on the film because Ben loved it so much.
