Ben Affleck has attacked the British monarchy.

The Pearl Harbor star said America shouldn't have anything to do with it because he didn't want "alcoholic 90-year-olds running the country".

He made the comments during an interview with Channel 4's Big Breakfast at the world premiere of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii.

Ben added he thought English girls were "quite loose" and "women of easy virtue".

But he described co-star Kate Beckinsale as an exception.

"It's not normal how beautiful Kate is - to top it off she's also extremely smart and funny," he said.

"I think I kind of traumatised Kate at first because you guys in your country are very polite and decent, you know, civilised people - we're barbarians, we bark and yell.

"I think she was terrified that she was going to be screamed at and so she had a very tough time.

"But she developed quite well and she's almost turning American on me."
