Ben Affleck’s Stress Unleashed: Cigar in Hand After Matt Damon Bails on Project!
On Thursday, Ben Affleck was seen taking puffs from a cigarette while driving his brand-new Cadillac Escalade towards his office in Los Angeles.
The actor from “Good Will Hunting,” now 52 years old and taking over for his long-standing friend Matt Damon in the upcoming Netflix thriller “Animals,” was seen on a daytime excursion with his newly acquired German Shepherd by his side.
The star donned a pair of tan-colored trousers as well as a matching blazer and white sneakers.
Upon parking my ride, I found myself ambling toward the main entrance of the office building, accompanied by my trusty canine companion, who’s always got my back when it comes to security matters.
I had the pleasure of introducing our latest family member earlier this month, alongside my 12-year-old son. We were fortunate to have trainers from Trident Elite Protection Dogs with us too.
Over the weekend just passed, a father and his son were seen enjoying each other’s company in their posh Brentwood district – their loyal German Shepherd was there too.
Following news disclosure that he stepped into Matt Damon’s role in the upcoming Netflix thriller named “Animals,” Ben’s most recent appearance has taken place. This information was shared by Deadline this week.
Matt seemingly stepped down from the leading role in the new project due to scheduling conflicts.
The actor will also appear in the forthcoming film by Christopher Nolan, titled The Odyssey, boasting an illustrious ensemble of actors.
Affleck was additionally planning to take on the director role for the thriller, as both Connor McIntyre and Billy Ray were penning the screenplay.
Besides their recent partnerships, like Air, Ben and Matt are set to contribute to the Netflix project as well.
The main points about the thriller’s storyline are being kept secret, but it’s worth noting that Gillian Anderson, known for her work on The X-Files, is among the cast members as well.
The duo is additionally planned to make an on-camera appearance alongside each other for another Netflix movie titled “RIP”. This movie will be released on the streaming platform later this summer.
Apart from completing numerous projects, Affleck has also made an appearance in a recent Dunkin Donuts advertisement alongside Jeremy Strong and his brother Casey Affleck.

During this past weekend, specifically on Sunday, the brief video was aired during the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. This event took place before the Super Bowl in 2025.
The short video was played at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards over the weekend on Sunday, which will be followed by the 2025 Super Bowl.
The advertisement starts by showing Ben and Casey approaching Strong’s backstage entrance just moments before filming the Dunkin Donuts commercial.
Before stepping through the door, Casey cautioned Ben that their brother Jeremy, known for his commitment to acting, might require some preparation time to get into character for the commercial he’s set to star in, as they were both dressed in bright orange tracksuits.
Casey clarified that he was getting ready and doing some research for something, to which the Gone Girl actor responded, “I’ve never researched anything, look where I am.
His brother simply responded with, ‘Exactly.’ But Ben yelled out, ‘We’re big time now!’
After exchanging a couple more rounds of debate, Ben flung open Jeremy’s door, revealing the Succession actor immersed deeply in a pile of Dunkin Donuts coffee beans instead.
He was sharing that he was searching for the character, and he believed he had discovered an entrance.
‘We both hail from the city of Boston, a place that’s synonymous with Dunkin’ Donuts. Just like Paul Revere’s signal, it’s clear that Boston is deeply associated with its history, symbolized by the phrase “One if by land, two if by sea,” and it seems that the Redcoats are once again on their way.’

Ben said, “You’re a creative soul, much like myself, but when might I expect results using the bean method?
Strong answered, ‘I mean I’ll be ready in like three hours.’
Afterwards, Casey softly murmured to Ben, ‘It would’ve been wiser if you had covered Matt’s costs, hinting at Damon.’ Ben responded: ‘I already informed you of that fact.’
The commercial concluded, displaying the date for the upcoming Super Bowl – it’s set for Sunday, February 9 – where the Kansas City Chiefs will face off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Over the past weekend, Jennifer Lopez, who was previously in a relationship with Ben, graced the Grammy stage – marking two years since their memorable moment at the award show went viral.
In August of last year, the singer who is known for her hit “On The Floor” filed for divorce from her actor husband, marking their second wedding anniversary.

The celebrity is moving past her separation from Affleck, as a source revealed to Page Six: ‘There’s a lot of optimism for the coming year. It’s going to be a significant year for her.’
In her most recent venture, she assumed a position within the production of the project titled “Kiss of the Spider Woman”, a joint effort by Ben and Matt Damon.
The movie made its debut at the Eccles Center Theater in Park City, Utah, and when the actress stepped onto the stage, she was greeted with a long-lasting applause from the audience.
Nevertheless, Affleck was absent from the screening that occurred towards the end of January last month.
