The Accountant 2 has been seeing loads of field workplace success since its premiere on the 2025 film calendar, with followers loving how surprisingly humorous Ben Affleck is and — as is identified in CinemaBlend’s evaluation of The Accountant 2 — the way it balances violence and coronary heart. Affleck and co-star Jon Bernthal have an awesome rapport on-screen, however what occurred when the actors put one another to the check with some private questions?
Digging deeper into Braxton and Christian’s dynamic has been probably the most celebrated elements of The Accountant 2 (apart from Ben Affleck’s line-dancing, after all). That chemistry positively translated off-screen as they proved how effectively they know one another in a “Bestie Quiz” for Complicated that they shared to Instagram:
It’s straightforward to see how having these two actors play off of one another may result in The Accountant 2 blowing its predecessor out of the water on Rotten Tomatoes, however so far as their questions go, I used to be simply as shocked as Jon Bernthal throughout this alternate:
- Affleck: What metropolis was I born in?
- Bernthal: Boston, Massachusetts.
- Affleck: Shut.
- Bernthal: What do you imply?
- Affleck: I used to be really born in California, I lived there for a yr.
- Bernthal: That’s bullshit, actually?
- Affleck: Yeah … it’s like slightly trick reply.
Jon Bernthal was so assured when he stated Boston, and for good cause! Ben Affleck is actually often known as “the Hollywood man from Boston.” Bernthal rebounded from the miss by figuring out his co-star’s favourite snack:
- Affleck: What’s one snack I like?
- Bernthal: He likes Weight-reduction plan Coke.
- Affleck: Sure!
I’m unsure I might sometimes rely a calorie-free beverage as a snack, however I’ll go along with it. And as a fellow Weight-reduction plan Coke sommelier, I concur with Mr. Affleck that fountain Weight-reduction plan Coke is superior to the can or bottle. The Gone Woman star struggled a bit to reciprocate, however I believe he pulled it out in the long run:
- Bernthal: What’s my favourite snack?
- Affleck: Your favourite snack is, like, some like bullshit wholesome fucking bar or one thing like that. Boxing fucking bars.
The Weight-reduction plan Coke man judging Jon Bernthal’s “bullshit wholesome fucking bar” is fairly wealthy, I gotta say. Ben Affleck additionally couldn’t title Bernthal’s favourite soccer crew (the Commanders), however at the very least they each handed the Marvel check and had been capable of title Daredevil and The Punisher as one another’s MCU character.
It’s fairly enjoyable to see these two work together exterior of their film, and it’s not just like the questions acquired TOO private, the place a unsuitable reply would have made issues uncomfortable. This was positively not the identical scenario Ben Affleck’s ex-wife confronted a yr in the past when Simu Liu shut down a reporter who requested Jennifer Lopez private questions on her marriage.
Possibly that reporter ought to have caught to JLo’s favourite snack.
You possibly can see Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal in The Accountant 2, which is in theaters now, and hold a watch out for Affleck’s different upcoming motion pictures.
