Ben Affleck's a jack of all trades, and apparently a master at all of them!The 50-year-old actor wowed the world recently when he flawlessly gave an interview in Spanish to promote , the biopic about Nike's groundbreaking collaboration with Michael Jordan (now in theaters).

A snippet of the interview, conducted by the radio station, , made the rounds on social media, and just about everyone was blown away at how deftly and eloquently he spoke in Castilian Spanish, perhaps as an homage to Spain, home of the radio station that conducted the interview.During the interview, Affleck spoke about the reason why the NBA legend was not cast in the film, as well as the three things that were most important to Jordan if Affleck was to move forward with the making of the film.

While explaining the decision not to cast someone to portray Jordan, Affleck said he wanted to avoid the audience seeing someone play Jordan and think the movie suddenly was not authentic, thus leaving the impression that the film's, which is slang for «s**t.»Affleck, who directed and portrays Nike founder Phil Knight, had very little trouble conveying his thoughts.

The only hiccup, albeit a small one, came when he couldn't remember how to translate the word «character.»It appears the interviewer quickly reminded him it's, and Affleck immediately caught on and continued the conversation.
