Who is Ben Affleck’s long-time friend Jason Mewes, and what has he said about Bennifer’s marriage? The Clerks actor has known the Gone Girl star for years, and said ‘sometimes you just need a break’
- Actor Jason Mewes has added his two cents to the discussion about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s rumoured marriage woes, though admits he hasn’t spoken to the actor ‘in a while’
- Mewes is happily married with two children of his own, and starred in several 90s buddy comedies with Affleck, including Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Dogma
In an interview with People on June 25, the actor shared what he knew about the situation so far. “I haven’t spoken to him in a while and I feel like everyone has their opinion, and I don’t know for sure,” he said.
“I feel like even if I did know, I probably wouldn’t want to share that, but I really don’t,” he added.
“If someone decides to rent [a] place [it] doesn’t mean they’re necessarily separating,” he noted. “I know from having two kids, it’s like, sometimes you just need a break – especially if you’re like, ‘Hey, I’m going to be writing this script and I need just two weeks to focus.’”
“But yeah, no, I haven’t spoke to him,” he clarified.
In May, Mewes was asked by TMZ whether he’d heard the speculation that Bennifer was “on the rocks” to which he replied, “I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t believe that.” He noted that maybe they were just busy working or it’s “too much with the kids”.
The Gone Girl actor and “Jenny From the Block” singer have been married for two years, and have recently been in the news for a rumoured rift.
