Ben Affleck speaks impeccable Spanish

Ben Affleck is going viral yet again.

The actor recently spoke very fine Spanish while promoting his new movie Air, which is based on the revolutionary partnership between NBA legend Michael Jordan and footwear brand Nike.

During his recent interview with Spain-based radio station Cadena SER, the 50-year-old actor said,

“What’s important to understand is that this isn’t about Michael Jordan’s story; he doesn’t even appear in the movie,”

The Oscar winner also explained that Jordan, who is one of the best players of all time is “so big, so important, so magnificent that there’s not an actor in the world who could be cast to play him whom the audience would believe.”

The Good Will Hunting actor added,

“They would immediately think, ‘This is all bulls–t. This movie is bulls–t. I don’t believe any of this,’”
“And they would destroy it completely.”

The Gone Girl star also admitted that his respect for the 60-year-old native is so huge that he would have started the film without his blessings.

Affleck who serves as director and stars as multimillionaire businessman Phil Knight said,

“I had the opportunity to speak with him for about an hour, and I asked him, ‘What are the most important parts to you about this story?’”

He then paused to try to think of a few Spanish for the character and continued,

“And he said to me,”
“Personaje!”
