Hollywood actor Ben Affleck dined out last night (12APR05) to raise funds for a star-studded charity event (12APR05) - with a fan who paid $28,300 (GBP14,000) for the pleasure of the DAREDEVIL star's company.

MARK DENYSE, 41, placed the highest bid on internet auction site EBAY and joined Affleck at celebrity chef TODD ENGLISH's swanky restaurant Bonfire in Boston, Massachusetts.

The latin-themed 'Mojitos in Massachusetts' meal was set up by glamorous chocolate aficionados GODIVA to raise money for AFFLECK's favourite charity, the AT CHILDREN'S PROJECT.

Affleck, who enjoyed the sumptuous meal with Denyse and his family and friends, says, "Boutique illnesses get lost in the shuffle. I want to raise money and bring attention to it."
