AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck refused to respond to a question about Britney Spears' recent post. The "Gone Girl" star stayed silent after being asked whether he'd made out with the pop star in the past.

On Friday, February 9, the 51-year-old was approached by a Spanish-speaking paparazzo. "Good morning, Ben! Is it true what Britney Spears said 0 that you guys shared a kiss?" the pap asked. The actor, however, was visbibly annoyed by the question.

Ben, who put his hands in his pockets as he walked down a sidewalk in a residential neighborhood, quickly wiped the smile off his face as he beelined for his car, which was parked on the street. He remained silent as he opened the front door and hopped into the driver's seat before taking off.

Britney brought up the claim on Wednesday by posting a throwback picture with the "Argo" star/director and songwriter Diane Warren, which she said was taken years ago. In the caption, the pop star recalled their encounter, noting that she almost "forgot" how "crazy" it was.

"Cool pic of me and Ben Affleck and Diane Warren years ago!!! He's such an amazing actor," the "...Baby One More Time" hitmaker gushed over Ben in the caption, before dropping the bombshell claim, "Did I fail to mention I made out with Ben that night ... I honestly forgot ... damn that's crazy !!!"

"Wish I could tell you guys the story that happened before that !!!" Britney further teased. The "Hold It Against Me" songstress added, "Oh dear, I'm just being a gossip girl !!! Psss I actually forgot !!"

The post in question featured a black-and-white image of Britney being sandwiched between Ben and Diane. In the photo, the "Justice League" actor, who is now married to Jennifer Lopez, put his arm on the "Lucky" singer's shoulder as she put one of her hands behind his back and her other hand on the songwriter's back. The three of them were all smiles in the snap.
