Ben Affleck Debuts Bad Boy Makeover Amid Jennifer Lopez Divorce Rumors
Body language expert Judi James tells the outlet that it seems Affleck is working through his issues with Jennifer Lopez by changing up his look.
“Where women opt for the ‘Revenge dress’ after a break-up, Affleck’s own stament of liberated masculinity as rumors of his break from Jen reach boiling point seems to be more about releasing his inner teenager by rocking this visual homage to DeNiro in Taxi Driver,” she stated.
“The skinny jeans, leather jacket and aviator glasses all look like an announcement of being back in the room again as a regular guy after months playing the role of a dependable, supportive and sophisticated romantic male lead in a real-life rom-com. It suggests feelings of freedom and a desire to ‘be yourself’ again by releasing the inner wild child,” James added.
Recently, it was reported that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are no longer on speaking terms. The couple is allegedly hashing out the details of their divorce using their representation. Meanwhile, JLo continues to spend the summer in New York, while Affleck remains in Los Angeles.
Fans couldn’t help but notice Affleck’s new look, and wonder if his marriage drama is to blame.
“It’s troubling to see such a chaotic public display,” one fan tweeted.
“Here he go again,” another commented.
“New midlife crisis hair,” said a third person.
It’s also possible that Ben Affleck may have changed up his style for an upcoming project. However, many fans seem to believe that he’s looking for a fresh start amid his split with Jennifer Lopez.
