Ben Affleck looked cold after being asked about Britney Spears’ assertion that they were once in love this week.

In video obtained by TMZ, Ben Affleck was approached by a photographer in Santa Monica on February 9. This person greeted him in Spanish before asking the actor about Britney Spears’ statement.

Ben Affleck kept it casual in a flannel jacket and colorful sneakers. Not refusing their enthusiasm, he greeted them brightly. However, when mentioning Britney, the actor’s smile immediately disappeared. The Argo star lowered his face, remained silent and continued to move forward.

Ben Affleck acted cold towards Britney Spears’ statement that they both loved each other

The trip took place a few days after Britney made a shocking statement about having a relationship with Ben Affleck and forgetting about her date. Specifically, the singer shared an old photo taken many years ago of her with Ben and musician Diane Warren on Instagram. Under the photo, Britney confirmed that the kiss took place on the night the photo was taken.

“He’s such a great actor. I forgot to mention that I was on a date with Ben that night. I actually forgot how crazy it was!!! I wish I could tell you the story of what happened at that time!!!”, Britney captioned.

It’s unclear when the photo was taken, but Ben Affleck had an identical goatee in 1999. At that time, he was just 27 years old and Britney was 18 years old. The actor has not yet commented on this statement. Currently, the post has also been deleted.
