Ben Affleck Heads To Africa
Ben Affleck has headed to Africa for the fourth time in an attempt to bring attention to the people who are suffering in that region of the world.
“I’m not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn’t take that to see the tremendous suffering here,” he told the AP. “It’s not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore.”
The actor is politically active and says he has learned the value of using his star power to forge change. “I think that, for better or worse, people with some profile in the arts have some currency to spend as celebrities. And for a time, I didn’t spend that in any particularly productive way. And I got to a point where I thought, this is wasteful.”
I think it’s great he’s trying to raise awareness for those who are suffering, but why does he have to travel so far away from his wife Jennifer Garner who’s very pregnant at the moment with their second child?
