Affleck's full Phoenix back tat he said in 2016 was fake, is actually very.. very real

But even critics of Affleck’s creative choices had to be shocked this week as it was revealed that his monstrous back tattoo— which he had previously claimed was fake —is both very real and very terrible. It’s so terrible, in fact, that it’s actually reached the point of being inspiring.


Back in 2016, after being snapped shirtless during the filming of Live By Night, Affleck told Extra’s Mario Lopez that the tattoo was “fake for a movie,” adding that he does have a few tattoos but tries “to have them in places where you don’t have to do a lot of cover up.” But, while palling around with Triple Frontier co-stars Oscar Isaac and Charlie Hunnam on Oahu Beach this weekend, Affleck once again displayed the giant, rainbow-colored phoenix that covers 80-90% of his damn back. It’s unlikely that the actor has been filming some secret, back-tattoo-centric film for the past two years, and is actually just embarrassed by his hideous ink.

That’s understandable. Just look at this thing.
