Sorry, internet, Casey Affleck wasnât actually on Ben Affleckâs breakup squad. The internet lost it at paparazzi photos of a man who looks like Casey throwing away a cardboard cutout of his big brotherâs ex Ana de Armas, but he had to set the record straight in a new chat with Entertainment Tonight. âNo, thatâs not me, and I canât even really say if they have totally broken up for good or whatever. I would leave that to them to speak to,â he said on Thursday, January 21. âA bunch of people sent that picture to me, and I was gonna tweet some, like, joke, response or something. And then I couldnât think of one and a joke didnât seem appropriate. And I donât have Twitter so that wasnât going to work. But it definitely wasnât me.â As redeeming as it was to picture Casey, 45, playing âNew Rulesâ on a loop for Ben, 48, while he throws out BenAna memorabilia, it simply didnât go down like that.
The cutout was initially photographed by paparazzi outside of Benâs home in June 2020, apparently left as a prank by his three kids with ex-wife, Jennifer Garner. Paparazzi spotted it again earlier this week, when a man wearing a bandanna over his face was snapped throwing it in the garbage hours after reports of their breakup leaked. Neither Affleck nor de Armas have publicly commented on the relationship ending, but little bro had his two cents. âI think sheâs a catch in every way,â Casey continued. âAnd Iâll be there to carry Ben through it, but I donât think heâll have any problems [either].â Itâs over for the cutout, but Ben Affleck and Ana de Armasâs story continues. Their erotic psychological thriller, Deep Water, still hasnât come out and wonât until August 13, 2021.
