Casey Affleck insists Russell Crowe isn't the only person who "puts on shoes in the morning".
The actor was discussing the view that celebrities who reside in New York City are more laid back in their approach to walking and catching public transport, as opposed to Los Angeles-based stars who prefer to be chauffeur-driven.
Russell famously walked the streets of New York, and Casey who lives in L.A - says he does the same.
"I want you guys to know right off the bat that I don't live in New York, but I walk to meetings. It doesn't matter where I am, I walk to meetings. I don't want everyone to think that Russell Crowe is the only guy who puts on shoes in the morning. I walked out my front door, around the corner to someone else's house, I walk to the store I do a lot of walking!" he laughed in an interview with the Kyle and Jackie O radio show.
Casey also discussed his jet setting lifestyle. He travels around the world with his work, and made light of his comfortable existence.
"Sometimes LA, sometimes I've got a little place on the moon, I get around," he quipped.
Casey went to George Washington University and later transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in physics, astronomy, and Western philosophy.
The star never graduated, but has joked about his qualifications.
"I have a degree in physics, astrophysics and brain surgery. I was on the path to being a neurologist and then I walked to a meeting and got a job as an actor," he laughed.
Casey was close to having his arm amputated as a youngster. The 36-year-old has recalled the harrowing experience.
"That's a true story. Thank you for bringing up such a painful memory," he jokingly mused.
"I was five years old and I broke my arm and I was at my friend's house and I walked home, and somebody heard me crying in the street. They drove me to hospital and it was a very bad break, and they put a cast on me, and were like See you later.' I woke up in the middle of the night in agony, and my arm had swelled up underneath the cast. There was a very bad infection, it was gangrene, and they said, There's nothing we can do.'
"They said, We need authorisation, we're going to have to amputate this child's arm.' They operated for hours and hours and they saved my left arm."
