Ben Affleck says the storm of sexual harassment allegations engulfing Hollywood has led him to examine his own behaviour.

In an interview Sunday with The Associated Press for the superhero film 鈥淛ustice League,鈥� Affleck said he鈥檚 鈥渓ooking at my own behaviour and addressing that and making sure I鈥檓 part of the solution.鈥�

After condemning Harvey Weinstein鈥檚 actions last month, Affleck was forced to defend his own conduct. He apologized for groping the actress Hilarie Burton on camera in 2003 when she was a host on MTV鈥檚 鈥淭otal Request Live.鈥� Another video from 2004 showed Affleck pulling Montreal TV host Anne-Marie Losique onto his lap.

Speaking Sunday, Affleck said two things need to happen, that 鈥渕ore women need to be pushed to power鈥� and that sexual harassment has to also be 鈥渁 men鈥檚 issue鈥� where guys call out inappropriate behaviour.
