“I hear that he is drinking. He is full of demons – a really troubled person,” one told DailyMail.com. While another told the outlet: “I have seen him looking glassy eyed and it is a real worry to everyone who cares about him.”
The Mirror has contacted Ben’s representatives for comment.

Ben previously opened up about his alcohol struggles in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in March 2023. In the candid interview, Ben, whose alcohol addiction struggles dating back decades, shared that while filming 2017s Justice League his addiction issues were particularly bad as he was “miserable” and began “drinking too much”. The Gone Girl star shared: “I started to drink too much.
“I was back at the hotel in London, it was either that or jump out the window. And I just thought, ‘This isn’t the life I want. My kids aren’t here. I’m miserable.'” Ben has sought treatment in rehab on multiple occasions over the years following his struggles.
