Ben Affleck has a good excuse for missing George Clooney's wedding!
The hunky star stopped by "TODAY" on Monday, where he revealed why he wasn't at the actor's star-studded celebration over the weekend in Venice, Italy.
"Some of us have to work, but it sounded like it went very well," he told Matt Lauer.
While Clooney was exchanging vows with his beautiful bride Amal Alamuddin, Affleck was hard at work promoting his highly-anticipated film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel "Gone Girl."
Ben plays Nick Dunne in the movie, a man who faces accusations that he killed his own wife after she goes missing. So, can he relate to the role?
"I can definitely identify with the idea of, like, looking at myself through the prism of some media — whether it's a tabloid or a television show, whatever — and not recognizing myself at all," he explains.
Check out the interview above to hear more about "Gone Girl" and his other big upcoming role as Batman in "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
