Ben Affleck Not Obsessed With Bulking Up To The ‘Point Of Collapse’

Ben Affleck is rumored to be working out too much to the point of collapse. The actor is also rumored to have come up with an extreme weightlifting routine to gain muscle mass.

A tabloid reported that Affleck’s friends have become concerned with the actor’s desire to add muscle mass without the help of a personal trainer. Affleck is rumored to want to gain even more muscles compared to when he was starring in superhero movies.

An unnamed source told the tabloid that Affleck has been weightlifting all day and all night to achieve his fitness goals. The source also said that working out extensively helps Jennifer Garner’s ex-husband take his mind off of drinking alcohol.

Affleck has checked himself into rehab more than once due to his alcohol addiction. After completing his last treatment last year, Affleck said that he wants to be able to help those who are also struggling with addiction.

“This week, I completed a forty-day stay at a treatment center for alcohol addiction and remain in outpatient care,” Affleck posted on Instagram. “Battling my addiction is a lifelong and difficult struggle. Because of that, one is never really in or out of treatment. It’s a full-time commitment,” he added.

Meanwhile, rumor-debunking site Gossip Cop said that there is no truth to the claims of the tabloid. Affleck has not been working out to the point of exhaustion.

The publication also said that the tabloid’s report cannot be trusted because it did not provide the name of its source. As such, it is possible that the claims are untrue.

In the past, the same tabloid has been fabricating stories about Affleck and his ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez. At one point, Affleck was also rumored to be expecting his first child with Lindsay Shookus. However, the producer never gave birth to a baby.

The same tabloid claimed that Ben Affleck and Lopez met up to discuss a script and their reunion seemed as though they never broke up. An unnamed source also said at that time that Affleck and Lopez kissed each other. However, the rumor-debunking site has clarified that no such thing happened.
