Ben Affleck in awe of Justin Timberlake

Actor Ben Affleck says it is "inspiring" to work with pop star Justin Timberlake with whom he has teamed up for crime drama "Runner Runner".

"I love Justin. Being around Justin is inspiring, he works really hard, he's incredibly gifted. There's nothing the guy can't do. I really am the biggest fan of his. I'm trying to win tickets to the show," Affleck said in a statement.

Affleck also said he suffered low self-esteem due to Timberlake's multi-talented personality.

"He dances like Michael Jackson, sings, writes music...There's 400 million boy bands, he's the one guy that became a gigantic star," he added.

 

"Runner Runner" is slated to release Oct 4.
