An old video featuring an interview with Ben Affleck has begun circulating online, featuring the actor closely cuddling a Canadian journalist and joking about exposing her breasts.
The Independent has contacted Ben Affleck for comment.
Anne-Marie Losique — the presenter seen in the clip — has since defended Affleck, saying the footage has been taken out of context.
The footage — which features Affleck promoting the 2004 film Jersey Girl — was widely shared after Affleck publicly apologised for acting “inappropriately” towards actress Hilarie Burton.
