Affleck’s Same Sex Kiss
Another story came out of Outfest. Director Kevin Smith was hosting a screening of the 20th anniversary of Chasing Amy, and he made a startling revelation. Ben Affleck said, “A man kissing another man is the greatest acting challenge an actor can ever face.” Funny, I never found it difficult in the slightest. Of course, Affleck made this revelation years before he went out and enthusiastically promoted Gigli – talk about your acting challenges! After he filmed the Amy scene, Affleck is said to have quipped, “Now, I’m a serious actor”. After hearing all this sturm und drang, one actress was less than impressed. Evan Rachel Wood Tweeted: “Try getting raped in a scene. Also, grow up Ben. Also, you think us ladies like kissing all the guys we kiss? Just cause its a ‘straight kiss’ doesn’t mean we enjoy it. Ahem.”
