Rob Gronkowski presented Casey Affleck with a new challenge when the two squared off in table tennis on the set of 'The Instigators.'
on the set of"The Instigators," a new heist movie for Apple TV+ coming out this summer starring Affleck and Matt Damon. Gronk, who makes a cameo in the film, spent a single day on set and presented Affleck with a new challenge."A big part of my game is hitting the corners," Affleck said in an exclusive NBC sitdown interview with Olympic medal-winning fencerWhile Gronk may have had the size advantage, Affleck ultimately had the skill advantage.
"They just kill. They're destroying," Affleck said."When they tried to teach me how to do it, it's completely different. You hold the paddle different, you play different, so it's learning a whole new game. It's not just about getting better at the ol' basement ping-pong.". When asked if he could ever reach the Olympic stage in any sport, Affleck said it would probably be between table tennis and a Winter Olympic staple.
"I think about it a lot. Is there still a sport that if I could dedicated my life, could I still maybe get to that level? And I'm pretty sure the answer's no," he said."But, curling, maybe, and ping-pong. I couldn't get there with ping-pong, but that would be the closest I could get."
