Ben Affleck bought his son a creepy Tom Brady chair

Boston native Ben Affleck has gone to interesting lengths to turn son Samuel into a New England Patriots fan, but he hasn't had much luck convincing the 6-year-old to switch allegiances yet.

During an appearance on Thursday night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," Affleck said he's experienced an "existential crisis" over his Angeleno son's lack of interest in Boston sports. That crisis led Affleck to redecorate his son's bedroom to include a giant football-shaped slide, a Tom Brady mural, and a chair shaped like Brady's head.

Affleck also honored Brady by having the quarterback's jersey number stitched on the back of his Batman cape.

"That's Brady’s number," Affleck said. "You can't be a hero unless you wear No. 12."
