Kevin Smith Apologizes to Ben Affleck for Gay Kiss Story: \u2018I Feel Terrible\u2019 \u2014 WATCH<\/b><\/p>\n

Director Kevin Smith went on Facebook Live last night to apologize to Ben Affleck for a story he told at Outfest over the weekend which was picked up by media and distorted.<\/p>\n

The story<\/a> was about Smith\u2019s direction of Affleck in Chasing Amy<\/em> when Affleck was 23 and Affleck kissed a guy<\/a> in the film and told Smith that it was<\/p>\n

According to Smith\u2019s story, a naive Affleck said at the time, \u2018A man<\/a> kissing another man<\/a> is the greatest acting challenge an actor can ever face.\u2019 adding\u00a0\u2018Now, I\u2019m a serious actor\u2019 when he had finished the scene.<\/p>\n

Like a game of telephone, the story echoed through the media and got distorted, prompting outrage and even a furious tweetstorm from Evan Rachel Wood, who tweeted at Affleck,\u00a0\u201cTry getting raped in a scene. Also, grow up Ben.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith also apologized to Evan Rachel Wood.<\/p>\n

Explained Smith on Facebook Live: \u201cOf course, Affleck doesn\u2019t feel that way today and who knows if he even felt that way then? But he could\u2019ve, he was in his 20s. We all say goofy sh*t in our f**king 20s. But it wasn\u2019t something he went out into the world and talked about. It was something he said to me\u2026.I feel f**king terrible. You know me. I like keeping peace. I\u2019m not the guy<\/a> that likes to rattle sabers or upset.\u201d<\/p>\n
