Rebecca Hall has praised Ben Affleck calling him a 'good director and an incredibly good actor'.

The movie has already topped the American box office an has been met well by the critics and Hall is just the latest person to heap praise on the actor turn filmmaker.

Speaking at the Dublin premiere of The Town the actress said: "He was incredibly relaxed and at ease and confident.

"The thing is, if you are that good at what you do, it lends a certain relaxation and ease and he has that in spades, and he gave that sensibility to everyone else on the set which meant that we were able to do our best work."

"He's a very good director and an incredibly good actor. He's very talented at both. I didn't think it would be technically possible for someone both acting and directing at the same time, but he managed to blend both disciplines seamlessly. It was very astonishing and inspirational to watch."

Hall is currently filming The Awakening with Dominic West and Imelda Staunton and has already completed work on Everything Must Go, which sees her team up with Will Ferrell, and A Bag of Hammers.

The Town is released 24th September.
