Ben Affleck is still making waves as a “Man About Town” despite all the rumors about his plastic surgery. Just two days after his appearance at “The Roast of Tom Brady” made headlines, the 51-year-old actor was spotted in Los Angeles with his 12-year-old son, Samuel. Affleck kept it casual in a collared shirt, jeans, and his iconic Nike sneakers, while Samuel rocked a basketball jersey. The Oscar winner looked clean-shaven during the outing, just like he did over the weekend while performing at a Netflix special.
Affleck used his platform at the roast to defend Brady, 46, against online haters. However, instead of focusing on his jokes, trolls took aim at Affleck’s face. Comments like “Hard launching a new face” and comparisons to Curious George and a post-bender Bruce Springsteen flooded social media. Some even speculated that he had recently undergone a face lift. Affleck’s representative did not respond to these claims.
The following day, Affleck skipped the red carpet at the Met Gala, even though his wife Jennifer Lopez was a co-chair for the event. Lopez stunned in a custom Schiaparelli gown, but Affleck was nowhere to be seen. According to “Entertainment Tonight,” he was in Los Angeles filming “The Accountant 2.” Affleck and Lopez have attended the Met Gala together in the past, making their debut as a couple in September 2021. Since getting married in Las Vegas in July 2022 and having a second ceremony in Georgia, they have not walked the iconic red carpet together.
Affleck has been a source of support for his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, especially since her father’s recent passing. The couple shares three children: Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel. During their time apart, Lopez had twins with her then-husband Marc Anthony. Despite their ups and downs, Affleck and Garner have maintained a strong co-parenting relationship.
