Ellen DeGeneres added another victim to her scare scorecard on Wednesday’s episode of her daytime talk show. Ben Affleck screamed in fright as a man dressed up as Wonder Woman popped out of a side table during his interview.
The actor was talking about whether or not Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) was a love interest for his Batman character in Batman v. Superman when the “superhero scare” occurred. Affleck not only yelled out but recoiled, and even appeared to push away his chair, as the fake Wonder Woman jumped out at him.
When DeGeneres played the clip back to him, Affleck was practically crying he was laughing so hard. “That was great,” he said. “You’ll show that to your son,” said DeGeneres, laughing.
