Affleck has demonstrated his Spanish fluency many times before, from red carpets to press interviews.
Although Affleck is married to Spanish speaking Jennifer Lopez, he actually learned the language as a teenager when he lived in Mexico for a year, filming a TV show.
The star previously told Kelly Clarkson that he began brushing up on his Spanish skills once her daughter Violet started studying the language at school.
At the time he joked: "I don't care that you can't do your math homework, but you're not going to be any better at Spanish than me."
Affleck's new film, "Air," tells the story of how Michael Jordan and Nike created Air Jordan shoes, revolutionizing the world of sports and contemporary culture. The movie is currently in theaters.
