Story summary
Ben Affleck, 54, revealed in a recent Variety interview that he’s still scared of his co-star Rosamund Pike, 47, from their 2014 thriller "Gone Girl," over a decade later. Affleck said he remains hesitant when talking to her due to her performance as Amy Dunne, the wife who goes missing under suspicious circumstances. He mimicked Pike's British accent and mysterious tone in their conversations post-production, saying it left him feeling uneasy with just a simple greeting from her: "Hello Ben, it’s nice to talk to you." Affleck praised both Pike's acting and David Fincher's direction, calling Fincher "one of the great filmmakers ever," while also expressing confidence that the film would be successful due to their mutual trust.
