Ben Affleck Sings 'Let It Go' on 'The Tonight Show,' Says He's Jealous of Jimmy Fallon

Ben Affleck visited The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon Monday night to discuss his new movie Gone Girl, but the conversation somehow shifted to the Disney movie Frozen.

The future Batman star admitted that his kids don't really care about superheroes.

"People always say, 'Are your kids into it?'" Affleck said. "The truth is, no, they're not. If I was doing the sequel to Frozen, I would be a hero. My two oldest daughters could give a s--- about Batman."

Affleck then admitted he was jealous of Fallon after his son watched a Tonight Show clip featuring Frozen's Idina Menzel and wanted Affleck to sing like "the man."

This delighted Fallon, of course.

Check out the clip here:

The Gone Girl soundtrack features some creepy instrumentals from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, who recently talked about their work in The Wall Street Journal.

Reznor recalled director David Fincher requesting an odd type of sound.

"He said, 'Think about the really terrible music you hear in massage parlors,'" Reznor said. "The way that it artificially tries to make you feel like everything's OK. And then imagine that sound starting to curdle and unravel."

Fincher disagreed.

"I said a spa, not a massage parlor!" he said, and explained that the idea came to him while he was getting his back adjusted. "I was listening to that calming, placating music and thought, 'We need to tap into this.' The movie is about the facade of the good neighbor, the good Christian, the good wife. So the notion was to start with music that's attempting to give you a hug."

Ross and Reznor scored The Social Network and found that film is a medium that communicates music well.

"The music becomes part of the film's DNA," Ross said. "To create that transporting experience in the cinema, all the different elements of the film need to be one piece of art."

Reznor added to that:

"For a couple hours, they're locked into the story, escaping their lives, being taken on a journey," he said. "As a musician, it gets back to being able to emotionally connect with somebody. At the end of the day, what matters to me is that I can get what's in my head into your ears."
