Come right here, child bro! Ben Affleck had the cutest reaction when his younger brother, Casey Affleck, took home the best actor win for his work on Manchester by way of the Sea on the 2017 Oscars on Sunday, February 26. Watch the video above.
Ben, 44, jumped from his seat to hug Casey, 41, when his identify was once introduced and kissed him at the cheek. “It was once very moving. Obviously, my brother, to have him there, it used to be a nice second,” Casey informed newshounds in the press room at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater. “He didn’t in truth say anything else. He simply hugged me. A large number of other folks have been giving me some grief for now not thanking him up to now, but in a pleasant method.”
The elder Affleck went on to cry as he watched his sibling take the degree. “I noticed those tears and I believed possibly I’m just now not creating a excellent speech and he used to be actually disappointed. But I believe he used to be almost definitely touched, and I think that we are — I imply, now not to brag or anything, however I feel we’re the only two brothers to win Academy Awards, ever,” Casey added.
Ben already has two Oscars under his belt. He won for very best unique screenplay for Good Will Hunting in 1998 and best possible image for Argo in 2013. (He directed, starred in and produced the drama.)
“I’ve realized a lot from him as a result of he’s been through so much on this industry and ups and downs and been under-appreciated and then it’s been confirmed how nice he is,” Casey persevered behind the curtain. “It’s been an advantage to be in a position to watch any person you love and you understand so neatly pass take a look at to navigate the very tough, rocky, now and again hateful waters of being famous.”

Casey gave a shout-out to Ben during his speech, but forgot to thank two essential folks — his sons, Indiana, 12, and Atticus, 8, whom he shares with estranged wife, Summer Phoenix. “I didn’t thank my children, which is one thing that I’ll more than likely by no means ever are living down,” he told journalists. “About three seconds when I made it behind the curtain, my telephone rang and my son said, ‘You didn’t even mention us.’ And my middle just sank. So, , that almost definitely would had been the most meaningful factor I may have stated and I failed.”
