Affleck reflected on the image which has since gone viral, during an interview with THR on Thursday, March 16. The Deep Water actor said:
“My wife was going, and I thought, ‘Well, there’ll be good music. It might be fun. At movie award shows, it’s speeches and, like, sound-mixing webinars. But I thought this would be fun.”
The Live By Night star, 50, then explained that when he saw Grammy host Trevor Noah approach him and Lopez he thought they were being framed. Affleck was not aware that they wear being filmed. He leaned into Lopez and told her he would leave as soon as the cameras starts rolling.
The Ain’t Your Mama singer immediately revoked Affleck. She told him not to try to leave her alone. The actor then described the conversation as a husband-and-wife thing before adding:
“I mean, some of it is, I’m like, ‘All right, who is this act?’ Like, I don’t keep up. My wife does, obviously.”
