Lina Esco has opened up about her experience working with Ben Affleck, which has shocked their fans.

The 40-year-old actress told People at the film’s New York premiere on January 13 that bedroom scenes with Affleck felt so easy.

We were giggling,” Esco recalled. “We were just two dorks, dorking around.” Esco said, adding, “Ben is just such a sweet man and easygoing, it's just easy.”

The actress said that the entire cast and crew contributed to a welcoming, low-key set environment.

“There was nothing pretentious about anyone, it was just easy,” she said, praising director Joe Carnahan for keeping everyone comfortable and setting the tone of the film.

She called reading the script a “love at first sight” moment and described her Zoom call with Carnahan as “incredible.”

Esco said seeing a first cut of the movie confirmed her excitement: “The movie is amazing. I’m not just saying that, I wholeheartedly will tell you it's a great movie.”

The Rip, a gritty crime thriller also starring Matt Damon, Teyana Taylor, Kyle Chandler, and Steven Yeun, follows Miami police officers whose trust is tested after their narcotics team uncovers a massive stash of cash.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon also produced the film alongside Luciana Damon and Dani Bernfeld.
