Ben Affleck doesn't want his children to become celebrities.

The Argo star - who has three children, Violet, seven, Seraphina, four, and 11-month-old Samuel, with his actress wife Jennifer Garner - has admitted he doesn't want them to work in Hollywood because he already thinks they are exposed too much.

"I would do whatever I could to discourage that. My kids have enough issues of being exposed in ways that I don't want them to be exposed, in magazines and shows and stuff," he said.

However the actor admitted that when his children get older, he will support them if they are interested in learning more about acting: "You know, if you're interested in drama, there's great theatre classes and stuff and that's what's appropriate."
