Famous Hollywood heartthrob Ben Affleck drops by on Brown Bag Mornings to discuss his newly-released film Air, his love for the MLB, and Latino culture.
The actor-turned-director played both roles in Air, the origin tale of Basketball legend Michael Jordan’s sneaker deal that would forever change the sneaker industry. Though the story focuses on the corporate perspective of the Air Jordan sneaker story, Affleck admits some inspiration for Viola Davis’ matriarch role came from his wife, Jennifer Lopez, and the emotional commitment to motherhood.
“I’d love to tell a story that does justice to this work, to motherhood and these moms,” said Affleck.
