According to Sarah, the Argo director was “rude” and “not interested” during the virtual interview for his movie Air.
When asked about her least favorite interviewee, Sarah said the Hollywood star “is quite high up on the list.”
“He was just rude, not interested, going through the motions,” she added.
The Australian journalist was referring to the below interview, where the 51-year-old actor and co-star Chris Tucker were promoting their movie Air
In the interview that Sarah was referring to, Ben was joined by his Air co-star Chris Tucker.
While Chris seemed engaged, Ben was anything but, based on Sarah's comments.
Despite starring in, directing, and producing the film, Ben appeared detached and uninterested during the interview, often avoiding eye contact with the camera. The awkwardness peaked as he seemingly refused to crack a smile throughout the interview.
The Oscar winner has been captured with a resting sad face in public on different occasions
Ben, who has often been captured with a resting sad face, spoke about his facial expressions in another interview, which took place the very same month he spoke to Sarah.
“Listen, I have a very unhappy-looking resting face,” the Good Will Hunting actor shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“This is me content,” he said with a blank expression and added, “This is me amused,” with a similar almost-expressionless expression.
“That’s how God made me. You don’t have to punish me for it,” the Argo director joked about his "unhappy-looking resting face"
As per recent reports, the Pearl Harbor actor appears to be headed for a divorce with his second wife, Jennifer Lopez.
A source told Page Six that the pop diva is “furious” and “humiliated” over her split from the actor and is holding off on filing for a divorce because of that.
“She’s furious,” the source claimed. “He has humiliated her. He was the one who initiated getting back together.”
A source recently claimed that Jennifer Lopez is humiliated "because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life"
“He’s humiliated her because she made a big deal that he’s the love of her life,” the source added. “They just had two weddings two years ago. This is some kind of a record, they’re not young kids.”
