Iran Filing Lawsuit Against The Movie “Argo”

You won’t believe this but its true!

Iran is filing a lawsuit against Argo, and while director Ben Affleck was snubbed for Best Director at the Academy Awards, hopefully he can at least win this.

Calling Argo propaganda is kind of a laugh coming from a country whose president famously claimed there are no gay people there.

The state-run press is apparently going after internationally renowned lawyer Isabelle Coutant-Peyre. The suit claims the film presented an Iraniphobic portrayal of the historical conflict.

The film was admittedly pro-America, which is a tad surprising considering Affleck's liberal activism and general anti-war disposition.

Ben Affleck Shaves Beard After Winning At The Oscars

The ‘Argo‘ actor-and-director, Ben Affleck had deemed the facial hair a lucky charm during the awards season but parted with his beard after the film won the Best Picture prize at the Academy Awards on Sunday, February 24, 2013.

The 40-year-old star removed his facial fuzz during a low-key Oscars after-party in the hallway of Craig’s restaurant in west Hollywood.

A source told E! News: ‘He did it to mark the end of a chapter. It had that ceremonial quality to it.’
