Casey: I never have fun

6 June 2008 01:34pm

US actor Casey Affleck has apparently compared making movies to taking medicine.

The star of new film Gone Baby Gone, which is directed by Casey's famous brother Ben, says acting is not as fun as it's cracked up to be, reports the Daily Mirror.

"Making movies for me is like taking medicine. It doesn't always taste good, but if you don't do it, you're going to feel worse," he is quoted as saying.

"Some people have fun making movies, I don't understand that. I never have fun. I feel artistically satisfied and one must work, but it's never kind of a laugh."

Casey, who also starred beside Brad Pitt in The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford, apparently claimed he would find sitting at home making a sandwich more fun than acting.

Gone Baby Gone tells the story of the disappearance of a four-year-old girl.
