BIGGEST REGRET
In a recent interview with The New York Times, the "Justice League" actor talked about separating with Garner, who gained recognition for her performance as CIA officer Sydney Bristow in the hit film "Alias." He said:
"The biggest regret of my life is this divorce. Shame is really toxic. There is no positive byproduct of shame."
