Hollywood Reacts to Actor's Spanish Accent Scandal

Ever since the audio of Luciano Castro speaking with a Spanish accent to try and win over a young actress during his time in Madrid was leaked, social media has been flooded with memes and jokes that have made the actor feel very embarrassed. As confirmed by Noticias Argentinas, the tape reached Hollywood thanks to an interview Barbie Simons conducted with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. 'Hey Sara, good day beautiful,' the message to Sara Borrell can be heard in the recording. The actors speak Spanish because Matt Damon's wife is Argentine, and Ben Affleck spent many years with Jennifer Lopez. 'This morning I was having mate,' Damon told Barbie Simons, revealing that there's a place in New York where they sell it like it's iced tea. The journalist told Affleck he should try it too and offered to treat him if he ever visits Argentina.
