I saw [GRAMMY host Trevor Noah approach] and I was like, 'Oh, God.' They were framing us in this shot, but I didn’t know they were rolling, Ben Affleck, via 'The Hollywood Reporter'.
I leaned into her and I was like,
'As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.', Ben Affleck, via 'The Hollywood Reporter'.
She goes, 'You better
f****** not leave.' , Ben Affleck, via 'The Hollywood Reporter'.
Affleck asserted that he wasn't
bothered by the viral moment.
I had a good time at the GRAMMYs. My wife was going, and I thought, 'Well, there’ll be good music.
It might be fun, Ben Affleck, via 'The Hollywood Reporter'.
The 50-year-old actor also addressed how some people questioned whether he was under the influence of alcohol at the show.
I thought, that’s interesting. That raises a whole other thing about whether or not it’s wise to acknowledge addiction because there’s a lot of compassion, but there is still a tremendous stigma, which is often quite inhibiting. , Ben Affleck, via 'The Hollywood Reporter'.

has become a walking meme, he said,
