Interview with Spanish radio Cadena SER on the occasion of the release of his new film Airthe actor and the director showed that he has a perfect command of the language of Cervantes.

Call him Mr. Affleck. In a recent TikTok video that went particularly viral, Ben Affleck impressed his audience by speaking near-perfect Spanish. Very comfortable with his gestures, he even joked naturally in Cervantes’ language, rolling the R’s without straying into an unexpected and rather disturbing metamorphosis.

Broadcast on Monday, April 3, on Spain’s Cadena SER, this interview is a chance for the Oscar-winning actor to explain the thought process behind his new film. Air, the sports drama he directed about the groundbreaking partnership between NBA legend Michael Jordan and footwear giant Nike. Affleck thus interprets the role of billionaire Phil Knight alongside his eternal accomplice Matt Damon as the brand’s sports marketing director Sonny Vaccaro.

“It’s important to understand that this is not the story of Michael Jordan, he’s not even in the movie,” Jennifer Lopez’s husband says in Spanish in front of the camera, adding that the basketball player is “so big. so important, so magnificent, that there is no actor in the world who could choose to play him.”

A year in Mexico

The 50-year-old resident of Boston added that he “respects” Jordan so much that he would not go to the making of the film without the blessing of the famous athlete. “I had the opportunity to talk with him for about an hour. , and asked him: “What are the most important parts of this story to you?” And he said to me…” before pausing to search for words. “Personaje!” he then shouts, aided by an off-camera reporter.

This isn’t the first time Affleck has demonstrated this language prowess, he’s been speaking Spanish in interviews and on red carpets for a long time. His Puerto Rican-born wife, Jennifer Lopez, may have helped with that, but he explained in 2020 that he actually learned the language at age 13, after a year filming a TV show in Mexico. He also revealed that his daughter Violet, born to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, studied Spanish at school and did so well that it encouraged him to improve so he wouldn’t fail.

Posted on Monday, April 3, the video has been viewed more than 2.4 million times on TikTok, garnering more than 170,000 likes and 5,000 comments. This prompted several jokes from netizens who affectionately nicknamed him “Benito”.
