Ben Affleck shared that he didn't mind hearing wrong pronunciation of his name by Snoop Dogg on the Golden Globe Awards last month.
The 50-year-old rapper, while announcing nominations for the best supporting actor at the prestigious event, stuttered and called the actor name as “Been Aff-Fleck”. However, he made a quick apology to the actor.
During his recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the Justice League actor reflected, “He did get the emphasis a little off, yes.”
The Tender Bar actor also shared that he has heard weirder pronunciations of his last name.
Detailing all the incidents, Affleck said, “It's funny because I always grew up and I thought, like, 'Affleck? What an incredibly ugly name.' Now it sounds like the duck commercial,” he explained.
"I was always like, 'Why did they always do that?' And I realized as I started looking through the mail we would get,” he added as the audience burst into laughter.
