Ben Affleck interview
Ben Affleck goes behind the camera and stars in Argo, which tells the story of six State department employees who escaped the U.S. Embassy siege in Tehran in 1979 by taking refuge at the home of the Canadian ambassador. CIA agent Tony Mendez (Affleck) devised a plan to rescue them, pretending that he and the six refugees were members of a Canadian movie crew scouting desert locations in Iran for a sci-fi flick.
Tribute.ca spoke with Ben in Los Angeles about his passion for the project, his gratitude towards Canada, how his kids really felt about the facial hair he grew for the role, and his next project, Terrence Malick’s To the Wonder.
Interview by Bonnie Laufer for Tribute Entertainment Media Group.
