Casey Affleck responded to rumors that he was the one spotted putting a cut-out of Ana De Armas in the trash at his brother Ben Affleck’s home.
“A bunch of people sent that picture to me and I was gonna tweet some, like, joke, response or something,” the 45-year-old actor shared with Entertainment Tonight in a piece published Thursday. (RELATED: Report: Jennifer Garner, Ben Affleck Divorce In Jeopardy Of Being Dismissed)
“And then I couldn’t think of one and a joke didn’t seem appropriate,” he added. “And I don’t have Twitter so that wasn’t going to work. But it definitely wasn’t me.”
