Affleck was “forced” to change his teeth for a role
The 49-year-old actor recently opened up about being asked to perfect his smile before accepting his role in the 1998 classic, Armageddon.
Affleck said, “I was a little naive about the opinions people would form of me. Or Michael Bay’s focus on aesthetics, like, ‘You guys gotta go on the tanning bed!'” in an interview with Entertainment.
He continued, “They made me fix my teeth and work out and be sexy, how do I do that?”
According to the director, Micheal Bay, he had a specific vision of what the role entailed, and bad teeth were clearly not one of them.
Check out his before and after below.
What did he have done?
He was told his teeth were ‘unevenly spaced’ and were a distraction from his heroic and sexy role.
Affleck undertook extensive dental work, which included a full set of porcelain veneers, crowns and multiple teeth whitening treatments.
There are speculations that Affleck’s now, award-winning smile, cost upwards of $20,000.

After hearing Affleck open up about what he was told to change for a specific role, this spurred Kate to open up about director Micheal’s specific requests too.
Kate opened up during an interview for Women’s Health about her role in Pearl Harbour, where she was told she needed to ‘workout’ and ‘lose weight’ in order to perform the role.
It’s clear to see Micheal Bay knows what he wants from his roles, no matter what it takes to get them.
