Ben Affleck BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Ben Affleck remains front and center in Hollywood news as September 2025 wraps, making headlines for everything from business moves to personal reinvention. The most talked-about recent change is his dramatic new look. After sporting a salt-and-pepper beard for over a year, Affleck surprised paparazzi and fans alike by appearing clean-shaven and crisply dressed in Los Angeles on August 28. This followed his high-profile appearance at CinemaCon 2025, where he took the stage to promote The Accountant 2, sporting noticeably darker facial hair. In the business world, Affleck’s partnership with Matt Damon in Artists Equity continues to draw industry attention, especially as their Netflix crime thriller The Rip nears release in January 2026, a project being widely buzzed about for reuniting the duo who helped redefine smart Hollywood collaborations.On the personal front, Affleck’s amicable co-parenting with Jennifer Garner is on full display. The ex-couple was photographed September 5 taking their two youngest children, Seraphina and Samuel, to a movie in Los Angeles, smiling and relaxed—something tabloids call a testament to their enduring family-first approach. People sources say Affleck and Garner have grown even closer as friends since his divorce from Jennifer Lopez was finalized in January. Earlier this summer, Garner posted a warm Father’s Day tribute to Affleck, and Page Six notes they’ve leaned on each other while navigating Los Angeles wildfires and parenting in the public eye. Meanwhile, their eldest daughter Violet, now a Yale student, made international headlines with a speech at the United Nations on September 23, forcefully advocating for greater protection for children from long COVID and calling out policymakers over pandemic failures. Both The Independent and Good Morning America covered her impassioned address, where she pushed for ventilated, clean-air public spaces and better informed youth engagement in health discussions.On the business side, Affleck’s and Lopez’s post-divorce property dealings made news, with AOL and PEOPLE reporting that the former couple removed their $52 million Beverly Hills estate from the market after it failed to sell, a move framed as purely business. As a celebrity, Affleck’s meme status lingers with those viral smoking and “Sad Affleck” images, which he now jokes about in interviews. In his recent GQ cover story, he candidly discussed the scrutiny of his public and private life but emphasized his drive to keep working and evolving on screen and behind the camera. Lastly, CBS, ESPN, and local Boston outlets reported Affleck’s latest appearance in an ESPN docuseries recounting the Boston Red Sox’s fabled comeback, cementing his status as a proud and perennial Bostonian. If the next few weeks are any indication, Affleck’s rebooted image, resilient family ties, and creative partnerships are set to keep him a fixture in the entertainment and news cycles.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
