Ben Affleck wants this rumor gone, girl.
More than a decade after Gone Girl director David Fincher alleged the Oscar winner shut down production on the thriller for his refusal to wear a New York Yankees cap, Affleck revealed his take on what really transpired on set.
“He’s such a lying motherf–ker,”Affleck, a notorious Boston Red Sox fan, said during an Oct. 12 appearance on the Happy, Sad, Confused podcast. “That is such a f–king lie. He loves to say s–t like that.”
However, the frustration over the rumor was all in good fun.
“I do love him and I’m friends with him and I adore him,” the 54-year-old explained. “And he’ll f–king lie if he thinks it’ll get a reaction. He’s got a very dark sense of humor and I know he thought like, ‘Ah, I’ll make Ben suffer for this for many years.’”
While the Good Will Hunting alum—dad to Violet, 20, Seraphina, 17, and Samuel, 14, with ex Jennifer Garner—owned up to refusing to wear a Yankees hat on the Rosamund Pike-led film, he assured the situation was a lot less dramatic.
