Summary

Ben Affleck is setting the record straight! In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor/director is not only dishing on his new flick, “Air,” he’s also opening up about that infamous Howard Stern interview which landed him in hot water for his comments about his heavy drinking while he was married to Jennifer Garner. But that’s not all – Ben talks about the other Jen in his life – J-Lo – and their very viral, and VERY memed moment from this year’s Grammys!
