Directed by Gavin O'Connor, the thriller follows the story of the forensic accountant Christian Wolff, played by Ben, who joins forces with his estranged brother to hunt down mysterious assassins. The tailored garment featured subtle pinstripes and was layered over a light blue shirt that was left unbuttoned at the top for an effortlessly casual look.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ben spoke fondly of returning for a second instalLment of the film. He said that it felt "great to continue the story of The Accountant" during the seminar. "I’m thrilled to be playing this part again with this great cast. The actor's makeover came in hand with his Broadway debut in Good Night, And Good Luck." The star’s public appearance comes after he graced the cover of GQ's April/May issue last month. In the interview, Ben opened up about the highs and lows of his decades-long career, his stance on co-parenting, and the upcoming premiere of The Accountant 2.
"I really like fusing drama about characters that are interesting to me, with genres and storytelling tropes that are familiar to the audience and viewed as more commercial," he explained. The star is also in no rush to completely shift from acting to directing as he wants to prioritise spending time with his kids. "It’s so consuming."
Ben Affleck has been spotted with a new hairstyle, but some fans believe the look is more akin to a “midlife crisis” amid rumors surrounding his marriage with Jennifer Lopez. The Oscar winner, 51, was photographed in Los Angeles, California, on August 3 sporting what appeared to be a shaved faux hawk. His head looked shaved on both sides, while his hair was slicked toward the front. In photos obtained by People, Affleck was dressed in a black Red Hot Chili Peppers T-shirt, completing his rocker chic look with a black leather jacket, aviator sunglasses, black combat boots, and light wash gray jeans. The Gone Girl star was also photographed riding on a blue motorcycle. According to Page Six, Affleck was seen without his wedding ring - more than two years after he tied the knot with Lopez.
There’s been much speculation surrounding the couple’s relationship, as multiple outlets have reported that Affleck and Lopez are heading toward divorce. The swirling rumors led many people on Instagram to believe that the father of three’s new faux hawk was seemingly in response to reported “issues” in their marriage. “Say you’re going through a midlife crisis without saying you are going through a midlife crisis,” one Instagram user commented under People’s post. “Midlife crisis perhaps?” another person asked. “Can you say midlife crisis?” a third user agreed. However, many fans suggested that Affleck’s new look may be for an upcoming movie role, like one person who commented: “Probably for a movie, everybody needs to relax.”
Most recently, Lopez hosted a Bridgerton-themed birthday party in The Hamptons, New York, without Affleck. A source confirmed to People that the Argo star stayed on the West Coast, skipping his wife’s 55th birthday party as they continue to spend time apart. The couple, who were married in 2022, also spent the Fourth of July and their July 16 wedding anniversary separately. Several sources have claimed the couple are experiencing “issues” in their marriage, while a source told People in June that Lopez and Affleck remain on good terms despite the strain in their marriage. “They’re still friendly and see each other every few days,” they said.
Last month, the pair publicly listed their shared Beverly Hills mansion - which they purchased in June 2023 - for $68m. Affleck recently bought a $20.5m home in Pacific Palisades, California, Page Six reported on August 2. Speculation of a rift between Affleck and Lopez began to circulate after fans noticed that they hadn’t been photographed together in more than 40 days. The couple rekindled their romance in early 2021, nearly two decades after calling off their first engagement. Lopez announced they were engaged for a second time in April 2022, and they tied the knot three months later during an intimate Las Vegas ceremony. They hosted a second wedding ceremony at Affleck’s home in Georgia one month later. Affleck was previously married to actor Jennifer Garner in 2005. They welcomed three children - Violet, 18, Fin, 15, and Samuel, 12 - before announcing their separation 10 years later. They finalized their divorce in October 2018.
