Ben ... embarrassing interview
BEN AFFLECK has outraged his fans after footage of him emerged making fun of people with cerebral palsy.
In the video the actor, who appears drunk, also gropes a pretty interviewer and asks her if she has a boyfriend.
It was shot around the promo activity for his panned film Jersey Girl but has only emerged now.
In it he grabs the young female interviewer and cuddles her on his lap before telling her that he is intoxicated by her perfume.
He then tells her she should carry out the interview topless.
Later on he gropes her boobs, asking her if they are real.
But he goes even further when he makes an offensive remark about people with cerebral palsy.
Ben starred in the 2004 film with his then girlfriend JENNIFER LOPEZ.
They split shortly after so perhaps relationship troubles were to blame for Ben?s outrageous antics.

What a complete asshole I'm shocked the girl doing the interview....if that's what you could call it, accepted being groped like that. I'd of belted in into the next century of that was me.
The worst part was the cerebral palsy comment as there's nothing humerous about it at all and not something that should be joked about in that manner, but being a married man and acting like such a f*cking arsehole just adds to how pathetic a lot of these so called celebs are.
How anyone could admire them is beyond me. It doesn't matter how much money you have or what you do for a living, arseholes are arseholes and he sticks out to be one massive one to me.
*sigh* ... I am not trying to defend his idiotic behaviour BUT ...
The movie was released March 26, 2004 ... He and J Lo broke up in January 2004 ... so he was single ... He and Jennifer Garner didn't marry until June of 2005. Again ... he was single.
The interviewer, Anne-Marie Losique, has a show on tv called "Hot-parade" which is a very sexually charged show.
here's a link to the site:

I suspect that Ben Affleck knew her "body of work" when he did this interview (though I believe this one was for "Box Office" a movie magazine show she hosted) which is why it takes on the sexual tone it did ... And perhaps why she allowed the touchy-feely to continue.
PLUS it was on a Sunday morning in Montreal for Pete's Sake!!! Of course he was slurring his words!
The comments about cerebral palsy? I believe there were 2 sentences out of the 5 minutes posted - then he goes on to acknowledge that he probably offended with those comments but it wasn't america and the quebecois wouldn't care (probably true!) So he knew he was being an idiot.
Should opinions on the man now be based upon one 5 minute interview when he was a single 30 something who just came out of one hell of a relationship (and I don't mean that in a good way!) and had already suffered through the reception of one crappy movie (Gigli) the year before. I have done and said STUPID things in my past and would hate for people too scorn the person I am now for who I was for a short period of time.
He was interviewed on the Daily Show a few weeks ago and Jon Stewart asked him "what was up with that?" period of his life and Ben said "You tell me because I don't know!" then talked about paparazzi following him to the 7-11 at 3 am or filming him in his house in his boxers microwaving a hot dog.
Was he a MORON? Absolutely. Am I surprised? Hell no! He was raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts! I have relatives from there and they have pretty moronic attitudes there!
Again - not defending him but not surprised by this news.
