“Stop it,” Lopez tells him. ‘Look friendlier. Look motivated.’ Affleck replies, “Maybe.”

Ben later clarified the moment, revealing he was joking with Jennifer, but then realized the camera was on her.
“As soon as they start rolling, I’m going to move away from you and have you sit next to Trevor,” he told Jennifer in his interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“She says, ‘You better not go away. It’s a man and woman thing. I mean, part of it is.” I’m like, “Okay, who is this actor?”
