Ben Affleck Declines to Do a TikTok for Kerry Washington

Ben Affleck has declined to do a TikTok for Kerry Washington, leaving fans in stitches.

Would You Do Anything For A Friend?

While Ben Affleck claims he would do “anything” for Kerry Washington, there is one thing he won’t do for her. Create a TikTok for her.

Well, Kerry appears to have discovered what Ben won’t do for her. She posted a short clip on Instagram, and fans are talking.

What Happened In The Video

Washington and Affleck star together in the upcoming Netflix thriller, Animals, and to promote it, Kerry asked Ben to create a short TikTok clip with her.

It was a harmless request, but Ben apparently had a few objections.

Here’s what went down in the clip:

• The movie: Animals, a Netflix thriller.
• The release date: October 9.
• The setup: Ben says he would do “anything” for Kerry
• The twist: she says the word “TikTok”, and he leaves.
• The aftermath: millions of people discussing it.

What makes this clip special is the fact that it moves so fast. From one second to the next, Ben goes from being the nicest guy in Hollywood to walking away, all while Kerry keeps smiling. It’s pretty hilarious!

A Love Story?

If you are familiar with Ben, this won’t come as a surprise. The man has never been a fan of the internet.

See, it all started with “Sad Affleck”. In this legendary clip, Ben looks like he’s seen the sorrow of the entire universe. People have been making memes about this for years.

Then there are his constant coffee runs to Dunkin’, which he shares online because, apparently, he looks like a real human being in those photos. Also, he looks bored when he’s supposed to be thrilled about something. People can’t stop talking about it.

In other words, people want Ben to be like them. That’s why he has so many supporters. They think he’s one of them. Which is why it’s not surprising at all that he doesn’t want to create a TikTok. It’s in his character. He won’t pretend to be enthusiastic. He’ll walk away from the “scene” and say no.

Kerry, meanwhile, knows how to use social media to her advantage. She always has. She has humor and personality, using her Instagram account as a tool to communicate with her fans. She is funny, and her posts aren’t boring at all. It’s one of the reasons why this particular post is so popular.

Why “No” Was The Best Answer

Here’s something funny. The ordinary dance TikTok would have been cute. Maybe people would’ve talked about it for a day or so. But something amusing happened, and people started discussing it.

What makes Ben’s “no” so funny is the fact that it’s unexpected. It seems so real, and it’s a relief from the artificiality of most movie promotion these days.

Why is that important?

It can help generate interest in the movie itself.

People can relate to this clip because it’s authentic, in a way. It’s different from your regular movie trailer. It’s raw, and it’s funny. It made people feel like they were watching two friends, not two movie stars pretending to be friends. It definitely helped the movie generate buzz, and it probably made people more interested in seeing it.

Here’s something we can learn from Ben’s “no”: authenticity is key.

A little bit of humor can go a long way.

Sometimes, being “not enthusiastic enough” is the best choice

Will Ben Ever Make A TikTok?

Maybe not. And that’s okay. Because now fans are discussing Ben, and most of them seem to like what they saw.

They are hoping for more content like that. But Kerry still has some time before the movie’s release on October 9, and she might be able to convince him.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you want to see Ben making TikTok dances, or are you satisfied seeing him say “no” for the cameras?
