Ben Affleck Calls Line Dancing His Toughest Stunt In ‘The Accountant 2’ At SXSW Premiere: “Tom Cruise Has Nothing On Me”


“The challenge for me was the months and months I spent training to line dance,” said Ben Affleck at the SXSW premiere of The Accountant 2 – “that was my stunt".

Tom Cruise has nothing on me, just in terms of line dancing.” Gavin O’Connor returned to direct the sequel to his original 2016 film, which starred Affleck, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal and Cynthia Addai-Robinson – all of whom are back and took the stage for a Q&A at the Paramount theater in Austin. “We just pressed forward” and found a good fit with Affleck and Matt Damon’s company, Artists Equity, and a partner in Amazon MGM Studios. Affleck said “it was wonderful” to revisit his character, the autistic, brilliant and kickass Christian Wolff, after all these years.
