Add Ben Affleck to the long list of public personas who can’t or won’t hide their distaste for Donald Trump. During an interview with The Guardian, Affleck shared his experience with the president-elect. “I met him once at a Fashion Week event in Milan,” Affleck said. “You knew you were at a cheesy party if Donald Trump was there. He would kind of trawl around them.”

Affleck didn’t note when their meeting occurred, but Trump shared his thoughts on his home town of New York’s Fashion Week in 2013, tweeting, “New York Fashion Week is really bad, and used to be so glamorous and exciting! No stars, no fun— just boring. They need serious help.” Perhaps he was remembering the bygone days of chance meetings with Affleck and the like.

Affleck continued by sharing a few critical details about the president-elect’s relationship with the film industry, recalling a conversation with director Martin Brest.

“[Trump] was famous for only granting permission for films to shoot on his real-estate locations if they put him in as a cameo,” Affleck said. “The director Marty Brest told me he’d had to create a whole hand-shaking scene in Scent of a Woman where Trump comes out of the door and goes, ‘Hey! Donald Trump, nice to meet you,’ as he bumps into Al Pacino. The ego was there a long time ago.”

Though that scene appears to have been cut (Vanity Fair has reached out to Brest and Trump for comment), Trump still attended a screening of the film. Affleck’s story mirrors other Trump cameos. Home Alone 2, which saw Trump offering directions to Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), filmed at the Plaza in New York, is one such example. Trump bought the hotel in 1988 and lost it to bankruptcy in 1992, the same year the movie premiered.

Affleck’s own desire to run for office, in which he’s expressed interest before, has diminished. “It’s not because I think being a public servant wouldn’t be satisfying, but it’s become a pure money-raising exercise from beginning to end,” he said. “It’s small talk with people who you want to squeeze money out of. It’s sleazy. You have to have a certain tolerance to that kind of schmooze that I don’t have.”
