Ben Affleck is featured in Boston Common Magazine’s October 2010 issue.
In the issue The Town star/director talks about his grandfather Sam Shaw, an ex-Marine, World War II combat veteran, lawyer and sometime boxer:
“He used to break our balls. He was the one to take us out, make men of us, make us work. We’d just be sitting around playing video games, and he’d be like, ‘Don’t be a consumer!’ I never really understood what he meant until I got older and realized I wasn’t doing a damn thing to make the world better. I was being a consumer, you know? I was living a life that was oriented toward myself, and it didn’t feel good all of a sudden.”
