Ben Affleck Received 'Best' Acting Notes From 'The Tender Bar' Director George Clooney

Ben Affleck and George Clooney have nothing but kind words to say about each other.

Clooney and Affleck both appeared on the red carpet outside the DGA Theater Complex in Los Angeles Sunday for the premiere of "The Tender Bar." Affleck stars in the film that's directed by Clooney.

In an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the cast was asked about their experience with Clooney as their director. The "Justice League" star shared that he received the most useful notes from the "Ocean's Eleven" actor.

"He gave me the best notes of any director I’ve ever worked with; the most playable, useful notes. It’s a function of his having done this job for so long, having done it really well and learned from really good directors," Affleck told THR. "He credits other directors he’s worked with but even more than that, it’s just as much a credit to his own experience and the time he’s devoted to acting and playing the kinds of roles that he has."

Affleck also praised Clooney's wit saying he could articulate what he wants in a way that "the choices are so right on the money that you're embarrassed you didn't think of it." Affleck also said the "Money Monster" star could make a scene "five times better" with simple suggestions.

"I’ve had experiences when a director talks for 45 minutes before a scene and it can be circuitous and abstract and you leave thinking, I don’t know how to play this," Affleck said. "George gives notes that are both about the character’s internal life but also the specificity of what’s actually happening in the moment. He really is an expert. I’m just lucky that I got the chance to work with him."

Meanwhile, Clooney praised Affleck as an actor. According to him, "casting is everything." He said the production had to cast the right people for the project and went on to praise the "Batman v Superman" star saying, "Ben is a really good actor."

Affleck and Clooney previously worked together as co-producers for the movie "Argo," which earned them both Oscars. According to Affleck, they had a "great experience" in the 2012 drama. However, they haven't starred on the big screen together and Affleck would love to have the opportunity to star alongside Clooney.

"I would love to," Affleck told Entertainment Tonight. "He's gotta hire me. I mean, he's gotta cast himself and hire me. Maybe that's the next step."
