Star-crossed mixup for Golden Globe-winning “Argo” director/star BEN AFFLECK when a well-meaning female reporter, who doesn’t normally work the showbiz beat, rushed up to him at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and gushed: “Hey, BRADLEY COOPER – you and RICHARD GERE are the sexiest men here tonight!”
A pro celeb reporter standing next to her whispered: “That’s not Bradley…it’s Ben Affleck!”
Flushing a bright shade of red, the gal stammered apologies – but Ben just laughed it off and said: “Hey…I’m at the bottom of that list anyway!”
