Ben Affleck has allegedly lost several pounds and it’s all because of his wife, Jennifer Lopez.
According to National Enquirer, Lopez is obsessed with always looking good that’s why she urged Affleck to lose the unwanted pounds. And that’s exactly what he did.
However, a source claimed that Affleck has not been losing weight in a healthy way. Rather, he has been restricting himself from eating food and he just smokes all the time so that he would feel full.
“Ben’s getting by on coffee, cigarettes, and the occasional doughnut in the morning and that’s about it because he’s running around 24/7 with no time to sit and relax,” the source said.
The source also claimed that Affleck is aware that his wife wouldn’t allow him to pack on the pounds again as he did in the past. After all, Lopez is obsessed with her and her husband’s image.
“He’s well aware that Jen won’t tolerate him packing on the flab like he did before they got back together, so he does avoid junk like candy and carbs for the most part. But instead of exercising and fixing healthy salads and balanced protein-packed dinners, he’s on his intermittent fasting kick. The pounds are dripping off but he looks unhealthy as well,” the source said.
The source claimed that Affleck seems to be losing muscle mass that’s why he looks considerably thinner. However, he doesn’t also look very healthy because he’s leaning on the lanky side.
As such, some people who are close to the Batman v Superman actor have allegedly been encouraging him to gain some weight or to at least hit the gym and do some weight training.
However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. There’s no proof that Lopez is obsessed with making sure that Affleck won’t gain weight again as he did in the past.
After all, Lopez must be very particular with her diet and exercise routine, but she can’t force Affleck to do the same thing if he doesn’t want to.
It is also important to note that Affleck gained some weight in the past for a role. And he is known for losing weight every time he needs to for a project. So, this is unlikely the last time for fans to see the actor gain and lose weight again.
