Ben Affleck's charm seems to have vanished, according to TV host Sarah Ferguson.

Ferguson, 58, criticized Affleck, 51, as one of her least favourite interview subjects following their chat about his film "Air."

In an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Ferguson described Affleck as “rude” and “not interested” during their March 2023 discussion on Australia’s “7.30” show.

She said the Oscar winner seemed “going through the motions,” placing him high on her list of least favourite interviewees.

Affleck notably avoided smiling throughout the interview, with only four of his responses making it to air.

His representative did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.

In the same month, Affleck defended his “unhappy-looking resting face” after it repeatedly made headlines.

“This is me content. This is me amused,” he said with a blank expression on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” while clarifying the “common misconception” that he is upset.

Affleck humorously remarked, “That’s how God made me. You don’t have to punish me for it.”

At the "Air" premiere, the “Gone Girl” star attended with his wife, Jennifer Lopez, and they were seen sharing affectionate moments on the red carpet.

The couple, who married in Las Vegas in July 2022, are now reportedly living apart amid divorce rumours.

Despite initially presenting a united front and continuing to wear their wedding rings after split rumours emerged in May, they have not been seen together since June.

TMZ reported on Monday that Affleck and Lopez, 55, are no longer in contact.

Affleck is residing in a $20 million home in Pacific Palisades, California, while Lopez was recently spotted viewing a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Page Six reported that Lopez is “furious” and “humiliated” over Affleck’s reluctance to file for divorce, which he claims is to “protect” her.
