Ben Affleck Swaps Rugged Beard For Clean-Shaven, Tanned Look

Ben Affleck showed off a striking makeover at his appearance at the Las Vegas Formula One Grand Prix.

Rather than sporting his typical rough beard style, he came clean-shaven and in high spirits. The actor made his recent appearance amid recent reports of him having an F1 movie in the works.

Ben Affleck’s new film will reportedly follow the life of legendary F1 aerodynamicist, and currently has a working title, “Turbulence.”

Affleck was seen attending a racing event in Las Vegas, looking noticeably different from his usual appearance.

The actor showed off a chiseled jawline, free of the grizzly beard many fans have come to associate with him.

His skin also appeared taut and glowing, a sign that the producer may be in a good place in his life following him finalizing his divorce from ex Jennifer Lopez earlier in the year.

Physically, Affleck looked fit, and his body didn’t seem out of place in the bluish-grey button-down cardigan, grey T-shirt, and khaki trousers he wore.

He completed the casual outfit with a navy blue utility jacket and a pair of white and blue Fragment Design x Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Retro Low sneakers.

Affleck wasn’t alone at the event, as he arrived with some members of his production team.

While Affleck may have attended the race event for either business or pleasure, it likely leans toward the former, as speculation has swirled that he has an F1 documentary in the works.

The project, tentatively titled “Turbulence: The Greatest Mind in Formula One,” will chronicle the career of renowned F1 aerodynamicist Adrian Newey.

Affleck will executive-produce the film alongside his best friend Matt Damon through their production company, Artist Equity.

They will be supported by two other companies: Whisper Group and Mark Stewart Productions.

Regarding what fans should expect when it debuts, Affleck revealed it would be “so much more than just racing,” per Deadline.

He added, “It’s about a living legend whose unrivaled career is full of ambition and reinvention. It’s those deep human attributes that we at Artists Equity feel so connected to and want to share in the stories we tell.”

Last month, Affleck made another rare outing, appearing at the premiere of Lopez’s film, “Kiss of the Spider Woman.”

The duo looked cozy on the red carpet, which immediately sparked rumors among netizens that they may be getting back together.

However, a source later informed US Weekly that “there is nothing going on between them,” as the actress is rather focused on her blossoming career and her kids, Max and Emme, 17, whom she shares with ex Marc Anthony.

A second source also revealed that the actress is fully embracing this new chapter in her life.

“Jen feels more comfortable in her skin than ever,” the insider told the outlet.

“There’s a sense of independence and peace about her. She’s in a really good headspace right now,” they added.

Aside from the remarks from the first source, Lopez also hinted there won’t be any reconciliation when she talked about her past relationships during an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show.”

At the time, Lopez bluntly informed her host that her exes were incapable of truly loving her.

“They don’t have it in them. They need to appreciate the little person inside of them. They need to love them,” she said, per The Blast.
