Chris Ann Boldt encouraged her sons to pursue a creative career
According to Affleck’s profile on Hello!, his mother encouraged him and his brother Casey to get into the arts and film from a young age. Boldt’s now-ex-husband Timothy Affleck struggled with alcoholism when the kids were growing up, but he has since gotten sober, per Hollywood Life.
“His life sort of hit the skids when I was in my teens,” Ben told The Hollywood Reporter. “It was difficult. When one’s parent is an alcoholic, it’s hard. It was a little scary and trying, but then he got sober when I was 20-something, and he’s been sober ever since.”
Ben’s parents divorced before he reached his teens, per the same source.
