Ben Affleck Reveals His Acting Was So Bad In One Film, They Had To Dub Over Him

Ben Affleck is a blockbuster movie star, but hes happy to acknowledge his performances havent always made the cut.

In an interview on SiriusXM radio Wednesday, the Oscar-winning screenwriter and actor admitted he was once voiced over in Buffy the Vampire Slayer because the director, Fran Rubel Kuzui, disliked his performance so much.

While discussing Afflecks new film The Way Back, in which he plays a basketball coach battling alcohol addiction, SiriusXM host Julia Cunningham asked the actor what it was like stepping into the role of a coach after playing a basketballer in the 1992 vampire movie.

Apparently Im so bad in that movie. I had one line, it was Take it, I think. Im holding a basketball, another basketball player turns into like a werewolf or whatever, he said of his role as Basketball Player #10 .

And I think I say take it, man, and I thought it was fine, and the director seemed happy. I went to the movie, didnt get premiere tickets or anything ... and I was like, That is not my voice. That is not me.

Apparently the director hated my performance so much that she looped the entire performance which was one line. But yes, I am dubbed. In English.
