American actor Ben Affleck (52) was photographed driving in Los Angeles, and what immediately caught everyone’s attention was his unkempt appearance, sporting a longer beard. This look has raised concern among his fans.
Affleck was spotted on Sunday in traffic, driving with a cigarette in his mouth and a messy beard. He appeared deep in thought and visibly unhappy, with his gaze wandering and a frown on his face. Many of his fans were quick to notice that the longer beard he’s been wearing lately looks neglected.
Some fans speculate that his divorce from Latina superstar Jennifer Lopez has deeply affected him, leaving him in poor spirits. Others believe he’s simply going through a midlife crisis, which they’ve mentioned to him on social media, though he hasn’t responded to such comments.
This isn’t the first time Affleck has been seen in this state. Just a month ago, he was photographed on the street with the same scruffy beard, smoking one cigarette after another.
Reports from sources close to the former couple claim that Jennifer Lopez allegedly tried to reconcile with Affleck several times, but he wasn’t interested. While the exact reason for their divorce was never confirmed, insiders say it was Lopez’s obsession with fame that ultimately ended their relationship. Ben reportedly wanted to live a quieter, more private life, while Lopez enjoyed being in the spotlight.
Another reported source of tension was Affleck’s battle with alcoholism, which he has been addressing for several years. Recently, Lopez launched her own alcohol brand, which reportedly upset Affleck, as he felt it showed a lack of support for his recovery.
To recap, Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck in August after two years of marriage. Fans remain divided on whether Affleck’s current appearance is tied to the breakup or simply a sign of personal struggles.
