Ben Affleck Says Line Dancing in ‘The Accountant 2’ Was Like Doing Stunt Work During SXSW Premiere: ‘Tom Cruise Has Nothing on Me’


At SXSW, Ben Affleck joked that he spent 'months and months training' for his line dancing scene in 'The Accountant 2.'

In “ The Accountant 2,” Ben Affleck reprises the role of autistic criminal and math whiz Christian Wolff, and his performance in one particular scene made the Texan crowd at SXSW roar with laughter and applause. Chris usually struggles with women — even beginning the film with a rocky experience at a speed dating event — but finds himself on the dance floor at a country bar after a woman starts to flirt with him. Bernthal noted that while “The Accountant” delves into Chris and Brax’s childhoods, it doesn’t give the adult characters much time together, which made him excited to work alongside Affleck in the sequel.
