Pete Wentz talks about “BLEEPing Ben Affleck” video

The Jimmy Kimmel spoof video, “BLEEPing Ben Affleck” (see here if you haven’t yet) is not only hilarious and chock full o’ stars (Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford, Cameron Diaz, Joan Jett, Macy Gray, Robin Williams, Don Cheadle, Pete Wentz, Perry Farrell, Benji and Joel Madden, Lance Bass, Huey Lewis, Josh Groban, McLovin, Christina Applegate, Rebecca Romijn, and Dominic Monaghan) but was a blast to be a part of, too.

As Pete Wentz told MTV News on Tuesday…

“Pretty much everyone there was a riot — egos all checked at the door for the most part. Dominic [Monaghan] and I would pretty much bug Harrison Ford the whole time. Every time he would put the headphones on, we would be like, ‘Tell us about “Indy 4,” ‘ and he’d be like, ‘What?’ And then we’d say, ‘Never mind.’ I can’t believe he got Huey [Lewis] on it. Jimmy’s a funny guy, and I have to admit the Affleck idea is pretty insane. Besides, who would [turn] down the chance to do some homoerotic song that has Brad Pitt in it?”
Lucky bastards. Was I the only one who lurched at the screen and wailed “CHARLIE!” when Dominic Monaghan and Pete stepped up to the mic? If they sang “You Are Everybody” I would’ve shed a tear…
