Would Someone Going Through a Divorce Do This?

As a seasoned movie buff with over three decades of observing Hollywood’s ebb and flow, I can’t help but feel a sense of déjà vu looking at Ben Affleck’s latest transformation. The man has always been no stranger to dramatic changes, both on-screen and off-, often mirroring the complexities of his personal life.


Although the paperwork for their divorce isn’t finalized yet, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been living separate lives as of late. J.Lo has been socializing in the Hamptons and celebrated her birthday with a ‘Bridgerton’ themed party without her fiancé, while Affleck has been in Los Angeles, spending time with his children and reportedly continuing work on ‘The Accountant 2’. To top it off, Affleck sported a new hairstyle – some are calling it a ‘faux hawk’, but it falls short of the usual characteristics for that style. Dressed casually in a Red Hot Chili Peppers T-shirt, leather jacket, and aviator glasses, he looks ready to perform with his cover band tonight, even though he turns 52 next week. As reported by ‘People’, Affleck also rode a motorcycle on the day he got the new haircut, further confirming that this is indeed a man going through some changes.

Could it be possible that it’s linked to a new role? (Is the character of The Accountant in The Accountant 2 experiencing a midlife crisis?) However, if so, it wouldn’t be Affleck’s initial or most dramatic response following his divorce. Recall the large phoenix tattoo he got during his split from Jennifer Garner? He’s stuck with that choice, but at least his hair will eventually grow back.
