Ben Affleck's noticeably smoother facial appearance recently raised eyebrows among his friends and family, who attribute the change to the actor's possible midlife crisis and speculate about a potential Botox treatment.
The iconic "Batman" actor, who usually shies away from such aesthetic procedures, has surprised many with his transformed look. "People are astonished by Ben's full-face transformation, suggesting he might be going through a midlife crisis. Everyone hopes he will soon recover his usual self," shared a source close to Affleck.
Affleck, 50, showcased his notably smooth complexion while attending an L.A. movie premiere alongside his wife, the stunning Jennifer Lopez, 53. Many attendees commented on Affleck's significantly changed appearance, with some speculating about Lopez's possible influence on this decision.
"Jennifer is extremely image-conscious and frequently encourages Ben to maintain a well-groomed appearance. The presumption is that she nudged him towards undergoing these facial treatments, leading some to believe he may have taken it to an extreme," said a tipster at the event.
Dr. Anthony Youn, a renowned plastic surgeon who has not treated Affleck, opined that the actor's forehead appeared "unnaturally smooth," possibly indicative of Botox injections. He hypothesized that the Oscar-winning filmmaker might be feeling the need to appear as youthful as his wife.
Rumors have swirled around the celebrity couple, hinting at potential relationship troubles despite their marriage last year. The pair had previously canceled their 2004 wedding plans.
On a recent occasion, the couple was spotted at Michael Rubin's celebrity-filled Fourth of July white party in the Hamptons, accompanied by Affleck's 17-year-old daughter Violet. The teenager made her appearance in a white maxi dress and clear-frame glasses, her hair pulled into cute pigtails.
Affleck was dressed in a summer-ready cream linen blazer over a white T-shirt and white pants, while Lopez looked stunning in a white gown with an abs-exposing cutout.
The couple, who merged their families after their 2022 wedding, is known for being open about embracing each other's children. Affleck shares Violet, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 10, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, and Lopez has 15-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband, Marc Anthony.
Amid the chatter and speculation, the couple continues to navigate their blended family, focusing on creating a harmonious environment for their children.
