‘Rude’: Ben Affleck slammed by TV host

7:30 host Sarah Ferguson has labelled Ben Affleck as one of the worst interviewees of her entire career on Australian television.

Ben Affleck has been branded “rude” by the host of current affairs show 7:30.

Speaking to the Sydney Morning Herald’s Sunday Life magazine, Ferguson opened up about some of the worst interviews during her career.

Ferguson explained that she was not impressed with the Batman star’s stand-offish attitude, saying it felt as though he’d rather be anywhere else.

“He was just rude, not interested, going through the motions,” she revealed.

The interview took place last year, when Affleck was promoting his film Air, the origin story of Air Jordan sneakers.

During the interview, Affleck appeared downcast, and could be seen repeatedly looking off-camera while giving rambling answers to the host.

The interview was so bad that only four questions Ferguson asked him actually made it to air.

Meanwhile, Affleck isn’t likely to get happier anytime soon considering his current marital woes.

After two years of marriage, Jennifer Lopez and Affleck are quite literally ready to move on.

For months, the couple have been at the centre of split rumours as they continue to live their lives on opposite sides of the country. Lopez has been enjoying her summer in the Hamptons, while Affleck has been out and about in Los Angeles.

However, whispers about the state of their marriage took a drastic turn when Affleck didn’t attend Lopez’s luxurious Bridgerton-themed 55th birthday party on July 24.

“Ben didn’t come to celebrate Jennifer’s birthday because they are done,” a source tells Fox News Digital. “Totally done. They are not getting back together.”

Instead, the “Argo” actor-director closed escrow on his new $20.5 million home in Los Angeles, according to People magazine. That same day, the Grammy Award-winning Lopez reportedly finalised the sale of her New York City condo.

“They are not communicating right now,” the source added. “If she wants to talk to his kids, she goes straight to the kids. Same with him.”

Rumours of the couple’s split began earlier this year when they went 47 days without being spotted together. Since then, they have only been seen together on rare occasions, including school graduations for Affleck’s children, Violet and Samuel. Affleck shares three children, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner. Lopez shares twins, Max and Emme, with former husband Marc Anthony.
