Ben Affleck Reveals If He Wore a Prosthetic in Gone Girl Shower Scene

“You’re really lucky if the people that you get to be around for work enrich your life,” Affleck explained. “I learned an enormous amount from David. I was experienced enough to pay close enough attention and to know enough to really learn more because I had context with which to appreciate what he was doing.”

And while he joked he “fell in love with” Fincher during the making of the 2014 film, he still has a slightly different relationship with his onscreen wife Pike, whose character was willing to go to any length for her own ambitions. 

“I’m still afraid of Rosamund Pike,” Affleck admitted in a video interview with Variety posted to YouTube Oct. 7. “I’m like, ‘Hey Rosamund. How are you?’ She still has that—sort of—look. You know what I mean?”

The Argo star then did his best impression of Pike’s British accent, saying in her voice, “Hello Ben, it’s nice to talk to you. It’s good to see you again.”

“I’m like, ‘Oh, f--k.’ She still has that quality,” he mused. “It was a great performance. She was great in the movie.”
