Ben Affleck Reveals What He Said To Jennifer Lopez During Viral Grammys Video

Following this year’s Grammys, a video of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez appearing to fight went viral—as did memes of the Good Will Hunting actor looking miserable at the event. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Thursday (March 16th), Affleck shared what they said to one another.

"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. 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,'” he said.

Affleck continued, “She goes, 'You better f**king not leave.' That’s a husband-and-wife thing. 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. And yeah, it is your wife’s work event."

He also admitted that he has been bored at award shows before. "I’ve gone and been bored. I’ve gone to award shows and been drunk, a bunch. Nobody ever once said I’m drunk," he said. The Gone Girl actor, who is a recovered alcoholic, commented on how some people thought he might be drinking again.

"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," he said. "I do think it disincentivizes people from making their lives better."

Hilarie Burton Morgan Says Chad Michael Murray Defended Her Against 'One Tree Hill' Creator

On Wednesday’s (March 15th) episode of the Drama Queens podcast, Hilarie Burton Morgan said her One Tree Hill costar Chad Michael Murray once stepped in to defend her during an alleged assault by the show’s creator, Mark Schwahn. The cast was on location in Honey Grove, Texas, while filming season four in 2007.

"Chad walked up and goes, 'What are you doing?' He said that to our boss in the bar," Burton Morgan said to her cohosts Sophia Bush and Bethany Joy Lenz. "He watched our boss grab me in front of a lot of people, and you know, Chad didn't have anything to lose because he knew our boss hated him anyway."

Speaking about Murray, Bush said, "He was protected as the No. 1 on the call sheet. He had the most power, so he could come up and shove our boss off you and get in a fight. And I'm glad that he did. I want everybody to follow that lead."

In 2017, Burton and Bush were two of the 18 women who accused Schwahn of sexual harassment while working on the show.

Brian Cox Thinks Meghan Markle 'Knew What She Was Getting Into' With Prince Harry

About Markle and Harry, the Braveheart actor previously told Good Morning Britain: “I don’t know what went on, but something clearly traumatic went on for the pair of them … I don’t think they made it up, I don’t think it’s false. I think it’s true and should’ve been rectified, and it hasn’t.”
