"Batman" actor Ben Affleck seems to can't "Let It Go," which is why it's probably wise he's dressing up as a comic book superhero in his next film, instead.
During an appearance on "The Tonight Show," the "Argo" director told late night show host Jimmy Fallon about his children's fascination for hit Disney movie "Frozen."
"Despite the fact that I'm playing Batman now, people would say, 'Are your kids into it?' The truth is, [they're] not," Affleck told the comedian, as noted by Us Weekly. "If I was doing the sequel to Frozen I would be a hero. My two older daughters could give a sh-t about Batman and they've now passed that affection onto my son. He's always like, 'Papa, can I watch Frozen?' And I'm like, 'No, dude, it's not on again!"
Ever the loving Papa, the actor tried to look for shorter versions of the animated flick online and came upon Fallon's own version of the film's carrier single, the immensely popular "Let It Go."
Needless to say, his 2-year-old son Samuel loved the clip, People noted. "And he wants me to sing along," Affleck added. "I can't tell my son that I can't sing. So I just [mumble] and he's like, 'No Papa, do it like the man!' I was like, 'First of all, I'm your father, okay? Jimmy Fallon's not the man - I'm the man!"
While the A-list actor-writer-director was recounting his funny "Frozen" anecdote, he gave the audience a sample of his singing along the way. Well, needless to say, it's no surprise why his son complained about his singing - the actor was not kidding when he said he can't sing.
The father-of-three also spoke about his other children, saying he's starting to become a competitive dad now that his children is getting into sports.
"My oldest daughter started playing basketball and I'm already that guy. You remember in Parenthood, Ron Howard's brother was yelling at the kid from the sideline? That's me. I'm like, 'Bend your knees!' I don't even know if you should bend your knees, I'm terrible at basketball!" he revealed.
Affleck has been busy promoting "Gone Girl," which is why he wasn't able to attend pal George Clooney's much-anticipated wedding in Italy. His BFF Matt Damon was present at the nuptials, though - a fact that reportedly irked Affleck's wife Jennifer Garner, RadarOnline said.
"Jennifer was furious that Matt didn't go to the premiere. She flipped out that he ditched his best friend on his big night to go to George's wedding instead," an eyewitness of the Friday premiere told the site.
"Jen and Ben go to every event for Matt," the source added. "She was just mad because he could have tried to do the same for Ben, and still made it to George's wedding in time."
The "Batman" star, however, was said to be more forgiving of his friend. He reportedly calmed his wife down, but onlookers at the premiere were already "shocked" by her reaction.
