Ben Affleck's Emotional Journey After Losing Both Parents So Close Together

Ben Affleck’s perspective on life shifted after he lost both of his parents, mom Chris and dad Timothy, in the span of two months.

“It’s a big year of life. My brother [Casey Affleck] and I, our parents died just two months apart, beginning of April and June,” Ben, 54, told GQ in an interview published on Tuesday, October 6. “That’s a lot, man.”

News broke in July that Ben and Casey’s mother had died at age 83 on June 2. Earlier this month, Casey, 51, revealed at the Venice International Film Festival that their father had also died recently.
