Kevin Smithcouldn’t be more thrilled for the marital union betweenBen AffleckandJennifer Lopez.
While promotingClerks IIIon Tuesday, the longtime filmmaker and collaborator of Affleck, 50, told PEOPLE that the groom “never looked better than he’s looked his entire life,” joking that Affleck was like a “God cut from marble” and describing him as “healthy [and] happy.”
Smith, 52, adds that Affleck was “radiating f—ing joy as he looked down the aisle and saw the woman of his dreams coming toward him, and she radiated it right back.”
The director — who has worked with Affleck on several of his films, includingMallrats(1995),Chasing Amy(1997),Dogma(1999), 2004’sJersey Girl(which also starred Lopez) and the upcomingClerks III— admits he “was bawling when I looked up and saw the happiest Ben I’ve ever seen in my life.”
“These kids are in love, man. Deep, f—ing crazy love,” Smith raves. “And that wedding would make even a hardcore cynic believe in romance, believe in love. And they earned it.”
