Ben Affleck Labeled Worst Interview Guest By Talk Show Host: “He Was Just Rude, Not Interested”
An Australian TV host has placed Ben Affleck at the top of her list of worst interview guests.
Sarah Ferguson, a prominent journalist, did not hold back when she spoke with the Sydney Morning Herald about her less-than-stellar experience with the Oscar winner.
In the interview published Sunday, the journalist shared her frustrations over the 51-year-old actor’s attitude during his appearance on the news show 7.30 back in March 2023.

- Ben has often been noted for his "unhappy-looking resting face," which he joked about on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last year.
- Reports suggest that Ben and his wife, Jennifer Lopez, are currently headed for divorce, with JLo reportedly feeling furious and humiliated because of him.

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.

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”

I think the interviewer is making a mountain out of a molehill. Ben Affleck's interview was just fine... he answered all questions, and in my opinion wasn't abrupt or rude at all. He even made a light joke at the end about Michael Jordan directing his own life story! At worst it did seem as though he wasn't well rested or perhaps slightly distracted, but a better interviewer would have found a way to slip that in the conversation to see what he said about it. She didn't. Instead she whinges after the fact... whatever lady.

Hardly rude. Not once did he say anything rude, or appeared annoyed. He just seems like anyone who has a hard time relating to an interview that is not person but over a long distance satellite voice.
