Steven Spielberg and Ben Affleck were once expected to cross paths professionally, until an awkward pool party incident allegedly put any future collaboration off the table.
The claim was recently made by director Mike Binder during a podcast appearance, in which he alleged that, in the 2000s, the celebrated Jaws filmmaker and Affleck had a falling-out following an uncomfortable encounter involving one of Spielberg’s children.
“Why would he not have reprimanded his son instead of hating on Ben? I am 100% on Ben’s side,” one social media user reacted.
