While he skirted the girlfriend topic, the Argo director (who shares children Violet, 16, Seraphina, 12, and Samuel, 9, with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, did manage to explain why The Tender Bar was such a "meaningful" film to him.
"It's about the importance and power of parenting kids, and fatherhood and family, whatever that looks like," he told E! News on the carpet. "It's not about perfect people doing things perfect, it's about a lot of people with a lot of struggles trying to go through things but who understand and want to provide that basic love and support to this young guy."
