The ladies love Ben Affleck, even when he's really drunk

A well-known staple of Box-Office with Losique are the interviews she conducted with American actor Ben Affleck. For every occasion, he would drop into a corny stereotypical French accent (rather sounding like France French, not Quebec French), acting as if they were already in a sexual relationship ("All you wanna do is have sex all the time. You don't wanna talk, you don't wanna hold me..."), teasing Losique to her uncontrollable amusement, making her sit upon his lap, hugging her, going on about Montreal and the Quebecois ("Québécois libres!"). He would, with accent, make statements imitating stereotypes of criticisms French-speaking people and foreigners have of Americans.

Known for an affection for Montreal, Affleck showed a certain level of knowledge of Quebec in these humorous encounters. He once went into a zany story where he likened the affairs of Quebecers to the heroic struggle of a French cheese liberating itself from an English cheese ("I am French and I be free!"). He would also speak of an admiration for Quebec nationalism icon, former Premier of Quebec René Lévesque, jokingly stating that he thought of legally changing his name to "René Lévesque" (he repeated this to the crew of Flash, an Quebecois entertainment television show). Unknown for years by most Americans, one of those segments, filmed in 2004 during promotion for the movie Jersey Girl, gained substantial fame as a viral video on American and international internet blogs. On September 20, 2006, a Google "Affleck+Losique" query returned aproximately 80,000 hits.
