Ben Affleck loves his back tattoo even if no one else does

Ben Affleck is back and also proud of his back tattoo.

The actor stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Thursday to promote his new Netflix movie Triple Frontier, in which he plays a Special Forces vet alongside Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, and Pedro Pascal, and gave a more general update on how things were going in his life too, after a tumultuous few years and his split from wife Jennifer Garner.

“There’s temptation to…. I could get depressed, I could feel like I’ve been through a lot; this was hard and that was hard, or I could be kind of embarrassed, but I have to say I feel so good now,” Affleck told DeGeneres. “I’m in such a good place. The kids are healthy. Life is good so whatever it took to get to this place, I’m grateful for.”

The Justice League star also shared that he’s been coaching his son’s Little League team, a commitment that meant he had to fly home early from a press trip to Asia to ensure he made a game. “It’s the dad dream,” he commented.

Next up, DeGeneres pulled up a pic of Affleck’s infamous back tattoo that was  snapped by paparazzi last year while the actor was at the beach. She commented that it has gotten a lot of attention in the press. “Not so much positive,” joked Affleck, before beginning to explain that the tattoo is a Phoenix. “Rising from your ass,” interjected DeGeneres.

Affleck praised DeGeneres for her fast-paced quip before giving a little more detail on the body art. “I was about to say it represents something really important to me, but we’ll skip that,” he said with a laugh. “It’s meaningful to me. I like it…The sentiment ran against, but I love it — luckily, I’m the one who has it.” Luckily, indeed.

Triple Frontier is available to stream on Netflix now. Watch the clip above.

The Walking Dead finale recap: A flicker of hope predicts big things ahead

The storm is here. The Kingdom is barren as snow begins to fall on the once thriving settlement. The fair is over, but the promised trade didn’t bring what many hoped. Their pipes still burst, the rot still spread, and this home, this beacon for so many who sought shelter from the cold apocalyptic wasteland, became untenable. So now, the King and Queen, still carrying the grief of losing their son, must now carry their people to Hilltop as a harsh blizzard descends upon them and the Whisperers still lurk in their periphery. But, once the storm passes and their friends on the hill open up their gates, it all seems like a blip on the timeline. We’re left with both hope and a promise of much bigger things to come. In the final moments before the credits roll, that radio Eugene, Rosita, and Gabriel have been tinkering with since the time jump, their initial mission that first put everyone on the warpath with the Whisperers, finally fulfilled its purpose. When the blizzard came, the power
