Ben Affleck accused of being ‘rude’ in disastrous interview despite his own defence explaining his behaviour

Ben Affleck accused of being ‘rude’ in disastrous interview despite his own defence explaining his behaviour

The actor has previously spoken out on being 'punished' for his demeanour

Ben Affleck has been slammed as rude by an interviewer, and here's why.

The 51-year-old Gone Girl actor has been outed for his alleged bad attitude amid swirling rumours of a divorce.

As we all know, Ben rekindled his romance with Jennifer Lopez, 54, in 2021 after being apart for almost two decades following a high-profile split in the noughties.

They let bygones be bygones and tied the knot in 2022 - enjoying a low key exchanging of vows in Las Vegas, before enjoying a more lavish ceremony.

Bennifer seemed to be going from strength to strength, even getting matching tattoos to commemorate their love.

But Ben's absence from a number of J Lo's recent events, separate holidays and a mansion on the market seems to have stoked the fire when it comes to rumours of an impending divorce.

And now, there's the matter of being called 'rude' - it's really not the best time for Ben right now.

Host of ABC current affairs, Sarah Ferguson, was the one gave Ben the label.

She told the Sydney Morning Herald’s Sunday Life magazine that Ben was 'rude, not interesting, going through the motions' when she interviewed him last year during a promotional run for Air, a title that Affleck directed, exploring the story of Air Jordan Nike trainers.

Ferguson says she asked Ben how he moved the film away from centring on 'white guys in business' to being focused on Michael Jordan's family.

Affleck allegedly replied: "It happened by my looking at the story and thinking initially, you know, knowing a little bit how these companies work, and knowing about, you know, knowing by instinct it wasn't only white people who worked at this company who were relevant to the story.

"And I didn't want to make that story. Luckily, Michael graciously made himself available to me, and directed me to the three people he felt were principally relevant here... and also he talked about his father and his mother."

She also noted that he didn't look her in the eye much during the interview.

This is unlikely to be a shock for Ben, who has addressed his demeanour head on in the past.

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, he said: "Listen, I have a very unhappy-looking resting face."

He continued: “This is me content", while making a blank face, then added “this is me amused,” while making the same face.

He added: “That’s how God made me. You don’t have to punish me for it.”
