Our entertainment team caught up with Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick to talk about their upcoming new movie ‘The Accountant’.

In the movie, Ben plays and a character who was bullied by his dad as a child, so we asked him if he experienced anything similar in his own childhood.

The 44-year-old said he kept himself to himself as kid and said he was never a victim of bullying or a bully himself. He added, “I don’t have a lot of experience with that other than knowing the fear you have as a parent that your child will be taking advantage of in some way and knowing how crippling that is.”

Anna then added she thinks social media has had a major impact on bullying and believes it has worsened with technology in recent years.

The Accountant is out in UK on Friday November 4th.
