Ben Affleck opens up about being treated for 'alcohol addiction'

Though Ben Affleck has never been busier in Hollywood, it turns out he's been going through recovery for alcoholism.

The actor posted a note on his Facebook saying that he has "completed treatment for alcohol addiction." He added that it's "something I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront."

Affleck, who was at the recent 2017 Oscars, starred in three movies last year: "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," "The Accountant," and "Live by Night," the last of which was also written and directed by him. He's also taken a hands-on role in his upcoming "The Batman" movie, cowriting the screenplay.

ET reported that Affleck attended the Academy Awards this year with a sober coach.

He showed a rare personal side in his Facebook note, referencing his family and help from his wife Jennifer Garner. The two separated in 2015.
