A casino owner has praised Ben Affleck for his honesty after the actor returned a paycheque which had been issued twice by mistake.



According to the National Enquirer, Affleck returned a $250,000 (£166,670) payment to the Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, after realising that he had been paid twice for a personal appearance.

Casino owner Jim Justice thanked Affleck, saying: "We mistakenly paid him twice. Fortunately, he called us or we never would have caught it.

"Obviously, we've got a few teething problems in our accounts department that we just need to clean up.

"We're just grateful that Ben Affleck caught the mistake and told us about it. He's a very honourable man."
