BEN Affleck lets his wife do all the cooking.

The actor — who’s married to, and raises two children with, actress Jennifer Garner — says he isn’t particular skilled in the kitchen department.

“Actually my wife cooks, I will be totally honest, she’s a great cook,” he said.

“I don’t even compare, I don’t want to insult her by trying… It’s out of consideration for her that I don’t try. She’s an incredible cook.”

Affleck — who who earlier this year founded the Eastern Congo Initiative (ECI) advocacy group — recently revealed he wants to make a film about the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, but is finding it difficult because he’s been told “nobody wants to see a movie about Africa”.

“I would love to make a movie about Congo, but unfortunately I’ve asked Hollywood folks and they always say, ah, nobody wants to see a movie about Africa,” Ben said.

“It’s also a function of trends and conventional wisdom: if it comes down to a movie with fighting robots or a movie on what’s happening in eastern Congo, you’re not going to win.”
