Ben Affleck is showing his softer side for Britney Spears ... revealing he felt "empathy" for the "Toxic" singer back in the day when all eyes were on her in the center of the ring -- as Brit put it -- just like a circus.

He called out the industry’s double standards, saying Hollywood loves to preach about paying your fair share and supporting below-the-line workers ... yet it's the first to pack up and head abroad the moment local expenses rise.
