A Reminder Of Affleck's Old Ways

Remember Ben Affleck, post-Bennifer but pre-Jen Garner and pre-baby Violet? Remember the swashbuckling lady's man's ways? In case you've forgotten, there is a two-year-old video posted on Youtube that will jog your memory.

The video found its way to celebrity blogs like Best Week Ever and Egotastic. It begins in a somewhat benign way: Affleck, 34, is in Montreal to promote the less-than-successful movie, "Jersey Girl."

The opening shot is of French-Canadian entertainment reporter Anne-Marie Losique. Next we see the her atop Affleck's lap as he whispers sweet nothing to her in a French accent.

"I like the perfume. They would like it better if you would do the show topless," he told the giggling Losique.

"You usually show more cleavage than this. What's the story?" he asks her.

"Well, it's Sunday morning," she responds.

He then squeezes her and rocks her back and forth. She returns the embrace.

"Do you have a boyfriend back in Montreal?" he asks.

He then piggybacks on the Janet Jackson Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction and suggests a "Janet Jackson stunt."

"I do Justin, you do Janet," she responds.

"You are finally getting into the swing of things," Affleck tells her.

It goes on and on for more than five awkward minutes.

In his younger years, Affleck partied hard. He went to rehab for alcohol abuse in 2001 and was notorious for his gambling. Today, Affleck is married to former "Alias" star Garner and is staring in the new film "Hollywoodland" as George Reeves, the original TV Superman who died under suspicious circumstances.
