Ben Affleck recently admitted that he does one thing that might be a pet peeve for Jennifer Lopez.
When asked Affleck what his superstar wife would change about him if she could, and the actor responded that Lopez probably thinks he’s a bit long-winded.
“She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak,” he said. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I go on and on and on and on and on… I talk a lot, and I talk in circles.”
“She’s never said that to me, but that would be my guess,” he added.
When Affleck is not sharing self-deprecating quips about his relationship with Lopez, he’s gushing about the support he receives from her.
Last month, he credits the singer and actor for guiding him in his filmmaking process for “Air,” the new movie about Nike and Michael Jordan that he directed and stars in.
“She’s brilliant,” Affleck said about Lopez. “And [she] helps me in every conceivable way.”
“Air,” which also stars Matt Damon, Jason Bateman, Viola Davis and Chris Tucker, was released earlier this month.
Affleck has recently spoken about another one of his famous relationships: his longtime friendship with Damon, who is also his former roommate.
The “Air” director said that Damon is a “beautiful” and “brilliant guy” but was a bad roommate.
“I would not suggest living with him,” Affleck said.
Ben Affleck was once nearly fired from a job after lying about skills
Ben Affleck may now be a Hollywood heavyweight, but he’s revealed he once had to tell a white lie to secure an acting job.
Back before he starred in Good Will Hunting, Pearl Harbor and Gone Girl, one of Ben’s first roles was in a commercial for Burger King when he was a teenager.
However, he’s now revealed that the 1989 job was very nearly a total disaster.
he audience was treated to a replay of the advertisement, which was made when he was just 17.
Ben, 50, joked that if he knew the commercial would get that response, ‘I would have been much more optimistic about my career’.
‘I don’t remember (a) similar enthusiasm at the time. My director almost fired me and now I can see why,’ he explained on the talk show.
The commercial sees a young woman trying to place an order at Burger King, but accidentally dialling Ben’s character’s car phone number.
Playing along, he drives to the fast-food restaurant, orders what she asked for and drops it off on her front porch.
However before they can meet, his dad calls the car phone and he rushes back to the car to take the call.
‘There was a car in the commercial and I had to drive,’ Ben continued his story.
‘They’re always worried about actors driving.’
While the director had asked Ben if he could drive, it turns out he told a little white lie.
‘Yeah, yeah, I know how to drive,’ he answered, to which the director responded, ‘Are you sure?’
‘Guys, I’ve driven like 500 or 1,000 miles,’ Ben recalled saying at the time.
Making a few wide turns in the ad, Ben managed to avoid hitting any props or people, but said it took multiple takes.
‘I also remember being like, “I don’t know why this director keeps making me do it over and over again”,’ he said.
‘And now looking at the performance, I have a better idea.’
Decades later Ben again was cast in a fast-food commercial, this year appearing in a Super Bowl one for Dunkin’ Donuts.
In it he acts as an employee working the drive though, and is soon met by a customer, played by his wife Jennifer Lopez.
