Ben Affleck Speaks Impeccable Spanish
Ben Affleck’s impeccable Spanish is why he is going viral this time. Spain-based radio station Cadena SER sat down with the Gone Girl actor for an interview.
Meanwhile, in Air promotional interview, Ben Affleck spoke near-perfect Spanish while conversing with Cadena SER.
A video of Ben’s interview quickly found its way to TikTok, with social media users commenting, “I had no idea Ben Affleck was this fluent in Spanish???.”
Another user wrote, “Anyone else mind blown at Ben Affleck speaking fluent Spanish?!” A third user commented, “The switch from Ben to Benito” with three laughing emojis, while a fourth person wrote, “We lost a Benito but gained a Ben .. I’m ok with that.”
Michael Jordan Won’t Appear in Air
Ben’s new movie Air chronicles the revolutionary partnership between NBA legend Michael Jordan and footwear giant Nike.
“What’s important to understand is that this isn’t about Michael Jordan’s story; he doesn’t even appear in the movie,” the 50-year-old filmmaker said.
The movie director explained that Michael is “so big, so important, so magnificent that there’s not an actor in the world who could be cast to play him whom the audience would believe.” Michael Jordan is widely regarded as the best basketball player of all time.

The Oscar winner said the audience would see an actor playing the role to be “bulls–t” and reject it. Ben continued, saying it would “destroy” the movie “completely.”
However, Ben noted that he discussed what parts he wanted to see extensively with the NBA star. The Argo star said Michael insisted on one thing, which is making Viola Davis play his mom, Deloris Jordan.
Ben Affleck Picked Up Spanish as a Teenager
Ben’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, is Puerto Rican and speaks the language. However, Ben learned Spanish long before that, as a teenager.
In 2020, he modestly told Kelly Clarkson on The Kelly Clarkson Show that he spoke Spanish “passively.” He said he “picked up” the language at 13 after filming a TV show in Mexico for a year.
The Deep Water star also noted that his eldest child, Violet, was always “interested in Spanish,” so he “often helped her” with her studies.
Ben Affleck’s impeccable Spanish skills just earned him some love from fans. Hopefully, fans will get to see more of his hidden talents.
