Sarah Ferguson has opened up about her worst interview ever and claims that Ben Affleck was ‘rude’ throughout’ their discussion as he promoted the movie Air, which he directed
An ABC reporter has shared the real reason why Ben Affleck is one of the worst celebs she’s interviewed.
Sarah Ferguson, who has won countless awards for her work on the American network claimed Affleck, 51, was rather high up on the list of talent she was far from impressed with.
The news anchor spoke to Ben and his co-star Chris Tucker back in March 2023 when he was promoting the film Air, which he directed.
The movie focused on the origin of the Air Jordan Nike shoes but Ben appeared to be extremely bored during the interview which didn’t go down too well with Ferguson.
Throughout the interview, Ben gave short answers and often looked off-camera. The result was that just four of Sarah’s questions made it to the final broadcast.
“He was just rude, not interested, going through the motions,” Ferguson told the Sydney Morning Herald. Sarah had asked Affleck how the movie had evolved from a “white guys in business” to the story of Michael Jordan’s family.
Ben responded: “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.” The bombshell about Affleck’s disinterest in the interview comes amid claims that he and Jennifer Lopez are said to be finalising their divorce after two years of marriage.
The pair have not been seen together in months and have faced ongoing split rumours. The rumours spiralled when Ben splashed his cash on JLo’s birthday while she celebrated her big day without him. The 51-year-old actor purchased a new $20.5million home in Pacific Palisades, which was dubbed a ‘bachelor pad’.
It was claimed that his bachelor pad purchase was a “stab in the heart” for Jennifer. Meanwhile, recent reports claimed that Good Will Hunting actor Ben, 51, and singer JLo, 55, are going ahead with their divorce after trying for several weeks to work things out between them.
The couple’s divorce documents are said to be ‘finalized, but not yet turned in’, sources claimed to MailOnline. They said: “They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them.
At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldn’t.”
Sarah Ferguson’s candid revelation about her unpleasant interview experience with Ben Affleck has sparked discussions about celebrity behavior during promotional interviews.
It seems that Affleck’s disinterest and rudeness during their discussion left a lasting impression on Ferguson, who is known for her award-winning work as a news anchor.
Despite her efforts to engage with him about the movie Air, which he directed, Ben’s lackluster responses and distracted demeanor resulted in most of her questions being cut from the final broadcast.
It’s no secret that celebrities like Ben Affleck often have to participate in numerous interviews to promote their projects, but it’s essential for them to remain professional and respectful throughout the process. Ferguson’s account sheds light on the challenges faced by journalists and interviewers when dealing with uncooperative subjects.
In addition to his interview behavior, recent rumors surrounding Ben Affleck’s personal life, particularly his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, have been making headlines. Reports suggest that the couple is on the verge of finalizing their divorce after facing difficulties in their marriage. Despite attempts to reconcile, it appears that they have come to a mutual decision to part ways.
The purchase of a new home by Ben Affleck, described as a “bachelor pad,” has only added fuel to the speculation about the state of his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. The timing of this purchase, along with their prolonged absence from public appearances together, has fueled rumors of an imminent divorce announcement.
As fans and followers eagerly await official confirmation from Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez regarding the status of their marriage, it’s clear that their personal lives are closely scrutinized by the media and the public. The narrative surrounding their relationship serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by celebrities in maintaining privacy and navigating the complexities of fame.
