Kendrick, at 31 years old, turned heads with her edgy outfit featuring a black skirt adorned with five belts, paired with stylish black heels.

During an interview with ET on the red carpet, Affleck shared insights into co-parenting with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. “We always strive to do our best,” he remarked. The 44-year-old actor also humorously mentioned that while he may excel at math in the movie, he’s not much help to his kids in real life when it comes to the subject.
Tall and lean: The attractive actor towers at an impressive 6’4″, almost a whole foot taller than his small co-star.
Director Gavin O’Connor revealed that Ben Affleck took a more laid-back approach during the film’s production, choosing to concentrate on his on-screen performance rather than getting involved in other aspects of the movie-making process.
Sinister chuckle: the perennial villain Lithgow appeared to derive amusement from this.
When faced with the choice between Batman and the Joker, Anna couldn’t help but find the humor in the situation.
Bent on jokingly teasing Anna’s petite 5’2″ stature, Ben seemed to playfully make fun of her. ‘I’m not exactly the go-to guy for helping with homework,’ he chuckled. ‘I may play an accountant on screen, but in reality, I’m not the best at number crunching.’
In the thrilling Warner Bros. film, Affleck takes on the role of Chris Wolff, a mathematical genius whose accounting career serves as a front for his true occupation: providing financial services for a dangerous clientele that includes drug kingpins, weapons dealers, and contract killers.
As Wolff amasses a collection of weapons and money through his shady dealings, he crosses paths with Dana Cummings, played by Kendrick. Dana gradually uncovers the high-stakes world in which the enigmatic mathematician operates.
