There is no denying Ben Affleck is a diehard Boston sports fan. The man can’t even walk down the red carpet without stopping to check to see what his Red Sox are doing.
Affleck did just that as he was making his way down the red carpet for the premiere of The Accountant. With the Red Sox facing postseason elimination, you can imagine Affleck had a lot on his mind. While stopping to speak with a reporter from KTLA, Affleck checks the reporter’s phone, which apparently was streaming a live feed of the Red Sox-Indians game from Monday.
Affleck then took the phone into his own hands for a closer inspection of his Red Sox, and judging by his facial reaction it appeared things were not going well at the moment. The Red Sox did lose the game and were eliminated, so odds are pretty good Affleck was not pleased with what he saw at that moment.
