Ben Affleck may be one of the most notable actors in Hollywood but even with all his fame, he admits he still gets starstruck.
The longtime actor, 53, opened up about the moment he was truly in awe of meeting another celebrity, admitting that it had to be when he met Michael Jordan for the first time while working on his 2023 film Air.
"That was definitely a big starstruck moment, Michael Jordan," Affleck told BFF Matt Damon as part of a GQ "Friendship Quiz" video shared on Thursday (Jan. 29).

Affleck noted that just like anyone else meeting a celebrity, he looked back on the experience feeling as if he'd completely messed up the moment.
"Later on, I'm like, 'So stupid, why did you say that?'" Affleck admitted. "But hopefully I've gotten to a place where I can not prevail on someone's time too much or be inappropriate and just be respectful."
He continued, "I was really thrilled and honored and definitely very starstruck that he took the time to sit down with me and talk about the story and the movie and really grateful...It's an interesting thing when you meet a person that's so impressive to watch who is so heroic and great. It does cause a certain feeling."
Damon noted that because of the meeting, they were able to make changes to the script of Air based on Jordan's suggestions.
"We just took what he gave me and implemented into the script," Affleck explained.
Air was based on the true story of how Nike created the Air Jordan. It followed Sonny Vaccaro, the brand's basketball talent scout, as he sought out a new spokesperson for the company and became convinced that Jordan needed to sign with Nike.
