Ben Affleck Speaking Fluent Spanish Is A Bit Trippy And Totally Hot
Mind Blown!
It turns out, Ben Affleck is completely fluent in conversational Spanish — like he can actually hold a full conversation in the language!
Who knew?!?
Ben recently sat down with La Cadena SER — a radio network in Spain — to hype his movie, Air, and he dropped the entire interview in Spanish.
You might be wondering if he learned the language from his wifey — Jennifer Lopez.
Nope.
Apparently, he learned the language when he was a wee lad of 13 years old.
See, Ben lived in Mexico while he was filming a television show there, and he picked up the language while he was pretty much immersed in it.
I’m kinda shocked he still speaks it so well.
If you don’t use it, you lose it.
When I was a teenager, I pretty much knew French. I could hold my own in a conversation.
Now, I can pick out words, but you’d definitely know I was a tourist if you saw me on the streets of Paris.
Not Ben, though. He is a natural!
He has kept up with the language, thanks to his daughter Violet.
According to CNN, Violet was taking Spanish in high school — got pretty good at it.
It spurred Ben to brush up on the language, improve his skills of speaking and understanding Spanish.
He might be just a bit competitive. There was no way he was going to let her surpass him in the language. LOL!
I don’t mind that I can’t do your math homework, but you are not gonna be better at Spanish than me.

Is it just me, or did he just get a wee bit hotter?!? Like, I didn’t think that was possible.
What do you think? Did you know Ben could speak such good Spanish?
