Somber Ben Affleck dines solo at pricey steakhouse

Ben Affleck looked deep in thought after enjoying a meal in Beverly Hills on Friday night. 

The 52-year-old star of The Accountant 2 was seen leaving the upscale restaurant Steak 48. This sighting came just a day after his former wife, Jennifer Lopez, was featured sharing a kiss with Diego Luna in the enticing trailer for her latest movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, which he is producing.

The Oscar winner looked relaxed, wearing a thick gray sweater over a blue button-down shirt and dark jeans tucked into his beige ankle boots.

His dark hair and beard were closely trimmed as he made his way to the valet station to get his car.  

On Saturday morning, the Air star was up early, taking his German Shepherd for a walk.

Affleck adopted him as a security dog in January amid safety concerns following the destruction of the Los Angeles fires. 

The pooch was well-behaved enough to be off-leash as they took their morning exercise.

Braving the chilly morning, the Deep Water actor wore a cozy gray sweater layered over a T-shirt, topped with a black jacket. He paired this with faded jeans tucked into beige ankle boots and carried his favorite coffee beverage.

Together with his friend and fellow Oscar winner, Matt Damon, who is 54, Affleck is collaborating again for the forthcoming thriller, The Rip. Both will appear as Miami police officers in this crime drama set to be streamed on Netflix.

Damon and Affleck are producing project, based on the experiences of real cop, through their Artists Equity studio, which they founded in 2022.  

The pair promoted their film, which was scheduled to debut on January 16, 2026 in a sweet spot with Cookie Monster, who along with his friends on Sesame Street, have joined the screening service. 

The two are wearing blue windbreakers with Police written on them when they burst through a door.

‘Drop it,’ Affleck says, holding a flashlight. 

‘Miami PD. Put your hands in the air,’ commands Damon as Cookie Monster blissfully munches on his favorite food.

‘Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa! Me only got cookies here,’ he told the officers.

‘Oh, sorry Cookie Monster’ Affleck apologized. ‘Cookie Monster, love your work,’ said Damon, appeasing the Muppet. 

‘We’re big fans of your work,’ the Town star added. 

‘Yeah, you know Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, you like the cookies and milk of actors.’

The pair thanked him for his compliment and asked if they could grab a cookie on their way out.  As they exited, Damon grumbled under his breath, ‘I can’t believe he’s got a nicer dressing room than we do.’
