<p>"A long time ago, years and years ago, I really had a lot of empathy for Britney Spears because I remember it seemed like -- I mean [she's] not someone I knew or hung out with -- but just like everybody else you see all this s--- that comes through," Affleck (52) recalled as quoted by People.</p>
<p>He continued, "But having had my own experiences myself, I knew these are people who are following her around at a time where she may or may not have been having difficulty," as quoted by People.</p>
<p>The actor said that he didn't "know" what Spears (43) was dealing with at the time since he didn't "know her," but he did understand "the cycle of having people harangue you and yell at you and hassle you and follow you" to create "a tizzy," as quoted by People.</p>
<p>The actor has been in the entertainment industry for decades.</p>
<p>Actor and filmmaker Ben Affleck recalled meeting Kevin Costner alongside Matt Damon when they were working as extras.</p>
