Critics are having a field day trolling Ben Affleck after he accepted the label, “Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor.” A photographer caught up with the actor while he was out for dinner at Lavo Ristorante in West Hollywood. When the paparazzi asked the Argo star how he felt about the label in Spanish, Affleck laughed off the compliment.
The TV personality added that it felt “Muy bien,” which translates to “very good” in English, to be considered Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor. The photographer’s probing didn’t end there, as they asked Affleck if he preferred Latinas. Without missing a beat, the actor confirmed he liked Latina women, presumably referencing his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez.
TMZ shared the video of Affleck’s interaction with the paparazzi, and it generated negative reactions on X. Many slammed the entertainer for considering himself an eligible bachelor, citing his alleged cheating tendencies. “Yeah, he is a cheater, and women are attracted to that,” someone declared.
Critics Troll Ben Affleck for Thinking He Is Hollywood’s Most Eligible Bachelor
The criticisms against Affleck continued, with an X user wondering what made him “eligible.” Another agreed, writing, “Ben Affleck, mistake of nature. What a pathetic and Underdeveloped creature he is.” A fellow critic took a walk down the actor’s relationship history, alleging he cheated on his ex-wives, Jennifer Garner and Lopez. The X user slammed Affleck for thinking he’s a “prize,” claiming he wasn’t looking for a lover but a servant.
“Ben is in his 50s, looking for someone to fetch him a beer from the fridge and help him to bed when he is too drunk to walk,” they argued. Affleck’s run-in with the paparazzi comes a month after a source alleged he was interested in a famous actress. We covered the story, reporting that an insider claimed the Gone Girl star had a thing for Brad Pitt’s exes. The acting veterans reportedly had the same taste in women, frequently seeking the strong, independent, and talented types.
Ben Affleck Wants To Shoot His Shot With Brad Pitt’s Ex-Wife
Affleck and Pitt previously dated the same woman, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, and the former wants to keep the trend going. The source claimed Affleck wished to try his luck with Angelina Jolie, Pitt’s ex-wife, noting:
“Ben said that he always thought that she was very hot and has admired how she has navigated her career; he has called her smart.”
“He also thinks it’s pretty cool that she has directed films too, something he has done many times with The Town and Argo,” the insider continued. “They would certainly have a lot to talk about over dinner.” Besides their careers, Affleck and Jolie could bond over their divorce experience if they ever dated.
However, the Eternals actress wasn’t the only woman on Affleck’s potential dating list. The actor is speculated to want to date everyone romantically associated with Pitt, including his first ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston. He is also allegedly open to dating Jessica Alba and Sydney Sweeney.
Will Ben Affleck’s next romantic relationship be with a Latina or one of Brad Pitt’s exes?
