'It was nice': Poker Princess Molly Bloom claims Ben Affleck bragged about Jennifer Lopez's derriere during celebrity poker game

Jennifer Lopez has one of the most famous derriere's in showbusiness

So it is hardly surprising to hear that 41-year-old actor Ben Affleck had high praise for his former fiancee's celebrated assets during a poker game back when they were dating.

Molly Bloom, author of a memoir about her involvement in a famed celebrity poker ring, has dished dirt on not only Ben but also stars including Tobey Maguire, according to Vanity Fair.

'It was nice': Ben Affleck, pictured in April in Las Vegas, apparently dished dirt on Jennifer Lopez's rear end during a poker game with Molly Bloom at the head

Pert posterior: Jennifer Lopez's rear end is one of the most famous in showbusiness

The 36-year-old brunette - who hails from Colorado - is nicknamed the Poker Princess, and has called her book Molly's Game.

The pages reveal detailed information about the famous players she was involved with during her time working in the ring, their tactics and their behaviour.

In the Vanity Fair article, Molly claims Pamela Anderson's husband Rick Salomon asked Ben: 'Did Jennifer’s ass have cellulite on it, or was it nice?'

The Argo star is said to have held his silence for a moment before conceding, in front of a room full of celebrities, that 'it was nice.'

Ex-girlfriends aside, Molly also writes that having Ben involved in the games was 'monumental' and that 'he was tall and handsome with a relaxed charisma that not all icons have in person.'

But Jennifer Garner's husband didn't go all-in too quickly, according to the Poker Princess.

He was 'a smart player who liked to limit his downside,' with his buy-in being comparatively small at $50,000.

Molly also reveals in her book that Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen were responsible for bringing in a billionaire to her table.

'When the Olsen twins showed up with a billionaire I was trying to land for a game, they were in, no questions asked,' she writes.

Her musings on Tobey Maguire were far less complimentary, as she described the actor as 'the worst tipper, the best player, and the absolute worst loser.'

The Poker Princess: Molly Bloom has revealed details about celebrities' poker playing and behavioural habits in her memoir

According to Molly, the Seabiscuit star told her to 'bark like a seal who wants a fish' for a chip.

'I'm not kidding,' he allegedly said to her. 'What's wrong? You’re too rich now? You won’t bark for a thousand dollars?'

The gambling goddess said that she refused to stoop to the level of barking, and that in return: 'He gave me an icy look, dropped the chip on the table and tried to laugh it off but he was visibly angry.'

Molly claims that Tobey - who hosted many of the games at his Los Angeles mansion - was very insistent on finding out information on any new players prior to the game.

'His words came out slowly, sounding soft on the outside but with a sharp-edged threat at the center,' she says of his demands.

The brunette claims that she wanted 'out of there before I promised him my first-born and his soul.'

Details on Molly's claims come just a week after Ben Affleck was allegedly booted out of a California Casino.

The star was reportedly escorted out by security due to his reputation as an advantaged player, at the Caesar Windsor Hotel and Casino in Ontario after playing for only 20 minutes on May 31.

Ben Affleck has never been and will never be attractive in my eye's Jlo looked beautiful in the photo with the white jacket and he looked a disheveled mess. Toby McGuire sounds like a weirdo.

Never thought much of Ben Aflleck before or after his hair plugs, new veneers and god knows what else. In DAZED AND CONFUSED he's a plain jane and a mediocre actor. Best thing that ever happened to him was Jennifer Garner and he's going to lose her.
