Ben Affleck has tackled a lot of great roles, but he's most eager for his next important task: playing house.

Having just wrapped his latest flick — with costars Javier Bardem and Rachel McAdams — in Oklahoma, the actor, 38, is excited to spend time at home with wife Jennifer Garner, 38, and their daughters Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 23 months.

Also on his to-do list: hitting the mall. The star recently admitting on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he often picks up Garner's Christmas presents "at, like, CVS on the 24th."

"It sounded bad, I know!" he told Us. "When I watched it I was like, 'I don't come off very well here.' But I have that experience quite a bit."

Continued Affleck, "Basically, my wife is very in-depth with all this stuff, really sharp, very thoughtful, very thorough. And so for me, I get kind of panicked, I put things off and I just don't know what to get so just buying her a present — I put more work into that than she does into buying fifteen!"
