NEW YORK - Director Kevin Smith has revealed that he was once threatened by Jennifer Garner for making fun of her husband/actor Ben Affleck.

Smith, who is a long-time friend of Affleck, said that Garner got annoyed with him while he was just kidding about his good pal.

“Jennifer does not share the same sense of humour as me - she did not like my jokes,” the New York Daily News quoted Smith as saying.

“I was picking on [Jen's husband] Ben Affleck and making fun of him because I’ve known him for a really long time - I was talking smack - and Jennifer goes, ‘You know, if you keep saying stuff about him, I’m going to kick your a-.’ And she could - I’ve seen ‘Alias.’ She has a real girly sense of humour and didn’t understand that I was kidding.”

Smith added: “I remember talking to Ben and being like, ‘I know your lady is not finding me amusing. Ben, I’ve known you for years, and you are far sicker than I am!’ His jokes are way dirtier than mine. He’s made jokes to me, and I’ve been like, ‘Ben, you need to go to church.’”

Smith, however, has a lot of affection for Affleck.

“Ben is one of the most intelligent people on the planet. He will run for office and one day be President, and then we’ll smoke a joint in the Oval Office. He’s very well spoken and been brought up extremely well, but he’s filthy,” he said. (ANI)
