Affleck angling to be called Benito with the recent vacancy pic.twitter.com/uKTsr0AAWe — Antonia Cereijido (@antoniacere) April 5, 2023 In the clip Affleck is talking about his movie “Air” and Michael Jordan’s involvement in the film, explaining he wouldn’t have made the film if the athlete didn’t approve. The film has an actor playing Jordan, but his face is not shown, and he has around two lines. “There’s no actor in the world where the audience will believe that Michael Jordan” he explained. It’s not the first time Affleck has wowed people with his Spanish. He learned the language when he was 13 when he was living in
Mexico filming a television show. Which explains his Mexican accent. No because the fact that Ben Affleck speaks fluent Spanish in a Mexican accent is sending me because whyyyy does he sound like that lmaoo pic.twitter.com/YCKzQ6tW0j — daisy✨ (@mdaisy129) March 4, 2023 RELATED:
