Wag the 'Dogma'

Wednesday, October 06, 1999

Ben Affleck was in a mood at Monday's New York premiere of "Dogma." The actor wouldn't talk to reporters and griped that photogs' strobes were "bothering" him.

All the same, co-star Salma Hayek swears he's a good guy. The Mexican spitfire told us she was bracing herself for a couple of brats when Affleck and buddy Matt Damon showed up on the "Dogma" set. The duo had just been nominated for a screenwriting Oscar for "Good Will Hunting."

"So I thought, 'These guys are going to be a little bit difficult,' " says Hayek. Instead, "they were such a joy."
