While discussing Affleck’s Spanish skills on E! Entertainment’s Nightly Pop, host Nina Parker asked one of the show’s cameramen to share his take on Affleck’s fluency.
“He’s not bad but he’s mixing different accents,” the camerman explained, telling Parker’s co-host Hunter March that he’s blending different dialects from Spain, Puerto Rico, and other nations that speak Spanish.
