In a dramatic turn of events on Sunday, Ben Affleck found himself in a heated confrontation with photographers outside his luxurious Beverly Hills mansion, valued at a staggering $60 million.
The actor, known for his roles in films like “Pearl Harbor,” was not in the mood for games as he drove away from home, clearly agitated by the relentless attention of the paparazzi.
As Affleck navigated down the driveway and onto Fundamental Street, a group of photographers eagerly awaited his departure.
In footage obtained by TMZ, the tension escalated when Affleck abruptly slammed on the brakes, shifted into reverse, and stepped out of his vehicle to address the swarm of cameras pointed in his direction.
With his wedding ring glinting in the sunlight, he expressed his frustration, urging, “When I’m driving down the driveway, don’t flash your lights.
That’s dangerous.
You have no idea if that’s me at all!”
His concerns were not just about his own safety but also about the potential hazards posed to others.
Affleck continued to voice his discontent, stating, “Man, stop!
What you guys are doing is dangerous.
Do you understand?
I can’t see, and you’ll get someone hurt doing this.” It was evident that the actor was deeply troubled by the reckless behavior of the photographers, who seemed undeterred by his pleas.
As he attempted to return to his car, Affleck took a moment to express his worries for his daughter, Violet, who was reportedly with him.
“Jesus Christ, my little girl’s coming down here,” he exclaimed.
“If you flash your lights at her, you’re putting her in danger.
Does that make sense to you?” His protective instincts as a father were on full display, highlighting the serious implications of the paparazzi’s actions.
This incident comes on the heels of a family outing the day before, where Affleck and Violet enjoyed lunch together at Tasty Noodle in Los Angeles.
The actor shares three children—Violet, Serafina, and Samuel—with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner.
