Casey Affleck has admitted that he is shocked by the reaction to his new movie The Assassination Of Jesse James.

The actor - who is the younger brother of Ben Affleck - has read a number of reports which refer to the Western film as his "debut", despite the fact that he has appeared in movies for the past ten years.

Casey told WENN: "You slog away for years on end then, suddenly, everyone goes, 'Wow, where'd you come from? Out of the blue. Amazing!' And you go 'Out of the blue? I've been f**king doing ten auditions a week.'

"I just haven't done many interviews, partly by choice, partly because no one's been that interested."
