We can’t all be Ben Affleck fans… And an Australian TV host is making it clear she’s CERTAINLY not. Not after meeting him anyway.
Sarah Ferguson — not to be confused with the Duchess of York — did NOT have a pleasant experience interviewing the Air star. The TV personality, who’s a mainstay on ABC’s Australian talk show 7.30, opened up to the Sydney Morning Herald over the weekend about a chat she had with Ben on the show last year… That’s unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.
She blasted the Gone Girl star as “quite high up on the list” of the WORST guests she’s ever interviewed! Oh s**t, shots FIRED!

According to her, it was all in the attitude. She dished:
“He was just rude, not interested, going through the motions.”
YIKES!
Oddly, this was NOT for Batman v Superman or The Flash or any of those big projects you’d think he might not want to plug. No, this was for Air, the movie about the making of the Nike Air Jordans that HE directed!
In footage from his interview, which also features Chris Tucker, Ben can notably be seen avoiding looking at the camera and mostly maintaining a straight face. Watch (below):
His lackluster expressions are something we’ve all grown accustomed to over the years. And just months after his interview with Sarah, he opened up about how he’s “shy” and doesn’t like attention. He called it a “resting hard face” at the time, explaining:
“That’s why people see me and they’re like, ‘Why’s this dude always mad?’ Because somebody has their camera and sticks it in my face and I’m like, ‘Okay, here we go.’”
That doesn’t explain why he’d act rude in a junket, mind you. Maybe it’s just a misinterpretation of his resting hard face??
Reactions, Perezcious readers??
