Ben Affleck Dishes On Marriage And Jennifer Lopez's Fame: 'The Shit Is F**king Bananas'
HuffPost
The actor sat down for a revealing conversation Thursday on Kevin Hart's long-form "Hart to Heart" interview series.
Ben Affleck is still getting used to the “bananas” level of fame of his wife, Jennifer Lopez.
The “Gone Girl” star sat down with Kevin Hart for an expansive interview this week amid rumors of marital strife and, despite admitting that his public “resting bitch face” might be fueling the theory, noted just how famous Lopez really is — and how difficult that can be.
Affleck explained that even his kids with ex-wife Jennifer Garner are aware he’s concerned about raising them in the spotlight. He noted one of them even cheekily bugs him with titles for a hypothetical tell-all, and recalled one particularly relevant moment in New York City.
“I get out with [Lopez], all the kids, through Times Square,” said Affleck in his “Hart to Heart” chat, “and the shit was fucking bananas. It was like the mayor [arrived] … and there’s this lady, she’s smoking weed, wearing a purple, skintight suit … and she sees [us].”
“She starts running backwards, filming, going, ‘JLo!’” he continued. “It’s like a herald that then gets everyone else, and then they’re all [starstruck] tourists. Then I’m moving, we got our five kids, me and Jen, and it feels like hundreds of people — and they’re all screaming.”
