Ben Affleck Says He Is Ok With Snoop Dogg Messing Up His Name During The Golden Globes

Ben Affleck said it’s all good that rapper Snoop Dogg messed his name.

Last month, the 50-year-old rapper made a mistake while reading the Golden Globes nominations.

When Snoop announced the Oscar winner’s name for Best Supporting Actor nominee for his role in “The Tender Bar,” Snoop called him “Been Afflay.”

“My fault, sorry, Ben Affleck, sorry for that Ben!” Snoop quickly apologized.

Affleck, 49, recently went on the “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” and he responded to the incident.

“He did get the emphasis a little off, yes,” Affleck told Clarkson.

“It’s funny because I always grew up and I thought, like, ‘Affleck? What an incredibly ugly name.’ Now it sounds like the duck commercial,” he joked.

The “Argo” director also discussed how his parents would be extra careful when spelling out their names. He said that his parents would always emphasize that their name contained the letter “F as in Frank.”

“I was always like, ‘Why did they always do that?’ And I realized as I started looking through the mail we would get and it would always be like, ‘Mr. and Mrs. A-S-S-L-I-C-K,” Affleck added.

Snoop also butchered “Belfast” star Ciarán Hinds’ name when he read his nomination. The Long Beach native said, “Ca-ron, no sorry, Karen Hinds, work with me now!”

He also called “Dune” director Denis Villeneuve, “Dennis Villain Uawver,” while reading for the Best Director, Motion Picture category.
