Ben Affleck Says Line Dancing Was Harder Than Action In The Accountant 2
After the success of The Accountant in 2016, it was natural to bring the team back for a new story. In the sequel, Ben Affleck returns as Christian Wolff, an autistic accountant who secretly handles money for dangerous criminals. This time, the film also adds humour by showing Christian trying to find love, which is not easy for him. In one memorable scene, he uses math skills to learn line dancing at a bar. Even though he struggles with social skills, Christian figures out the dance steps and manages to connect with someone special. Speaking with Times Now, Ben explained, 'That was one of the fun things about this thing, the idea that he wants to have a relationship with a woman, he's trying to figure out how to put yourself out there. He's not comfortable extending himself, he doesn't really know how to flirt exactly. And what he does is kind of a lovely thing, which is he uses something that he's comfortable with, which in that case is the ability to recognise and identify the pattern of line dancing, and it's the perfect way that he's comfortable to stand next to this woman who he's attracted to and wants to connect with. And it required a lot of me. I probably am not going to get a lot more demands from my line dancing work."
