Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike
A lesser-known talent?
"When we first were doing makeup tests I thought, 'This guy could be a standup comedian,' " says Affleck's Gone Girl costar Rosamund Pike. "He has characters and impersonations ... accents. He quickly crystallizes you."
The two star together as husband and wife in perhaps this fall's most anticipated film, director David Fincher's adaptation of author Gillian Flynn's best-selling novel about a marriage gone very wrong. The film opens Oct. 3.
"He's so good in the film. You watch this guy get tossed and turned," Pike, 35, says of Affleck, 42, who from the get-go has the finger pointed at him when his wife goes missing.
Offscreen, Affleck, who is married to Jennifer Garner, with three young children (Violet, 8½, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 2), reveals a different side.
"He's very fun," says Pike. "He's obviously got a son now, but you can feel he is surrounded by girls in his house."
"We would be in the makeup trailer and we very quickly got to talking about very gossipy female things and he just gets right stuck in it," she says with a laugh.
