A Bold New Look
Affleck recently surprised many by stepping out with a new, edgy style. Instead of his usual rugged appearance, he was seen wearing a leather jacket and had his temples shaved. This was a significant shift, with many commenting that this look would be “more fitting for a punk concert than a red carpet.” People online shared various thoughts about his transformation, wondering if it was for a new acting role, a personal decision, or perhaps even a “midlife crisis.”

Ben Affleck didn’t directly respond to these comments. Instead, he continued to change his look. Just a few days later, he was seen in Santa Monica with a new blue-black dyed beard, which completely covered his natural gray hairs. During this outing, he was walking with his 15-year-old child, Seraphina, who now goes by the name Finn and has also been in the news for a recent haircut and name change. Their relaxed and easy interaction showed that they have a very good relationship. Affleck himself looked neat and sure of himself in a smart outfit.

The public’s opinions about his new beard were quite varied. Some people praised him for putting effort into his appearance and taking care of himself. However, others were quite critical, saying the beard looked “fake-looking” or that it simply “wasn’t suitable” for him. Despite the criticism, many also believed that his style changes were a way for him to deal with the personal changes in his life after his separation from Jennifer Lopez.
