One Direction and Ben Affleck both secured a spots on Barbra Walters' annual "Most Fascinating" list, which the veteran TV reporter partially announced on The View today, the New York Post reports.
This year, Affleck has continued to make waves as a director with his latest flick Argo receiving wide acclaim; while One Direction have heralded a second coming of boy bands, most recently packing Rockefeller Plaza for their performance on Today.
