NEW YORK:

Ben Affleck is preparing for his role as a Congressman for his upcoming movie State of Play by meeting people on Capitol Hill.

He met Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other members of the Massachusetts delegation. However, he was not too keen on meeting younger fans. He signed a few autographs but wanted to leave as soon as possible, tmz.com reports.

“He didn’t want anybody around him. He even arranged for security to clear the crowds. When meeting the Massachusetts delegation he slipped into a different accent,” said a cop. One of the staff members added, “It was cute. His accent came out a little bit.” — HNS
