Is Ben Affleck the real-life BoJack Horseman?

The Daily Beast

Affleck’s Hollywood journey through tabloids, sobriety, and accountability brings to mind another complicated figure: BoJack Horseman, says Laura Bradley. "As glib as the comparison sounds on its face, Affleck and BoJack have a striking amount in common," says Bradley. "Affleck, like the fictional horse man, has a family history of mental health and substance use issues. Both Affleck and BoJack make frequent appearances in tabloid media. Toward the end of the Netflix series, BoJack checks himself into a cushy rehab center named Pastiches; Affleck has visited the real-life facility Promises multiple times. Both men have a complicated relationship with class. And BoJack, like Affleck, achieved a level of fame that guarantees an almost unconscionable amount of power—and lack of accountability—only to have the rug pulled out from under him when people started paying attention."
