Ben Affleck Tells Son: Those Shoes Mean Mowing Lawns!

by

Ben Affleck, a multiple Academy Award winner in filmmaking, acting, and production, has an extensive career to his name. Beyond his professional accomplishments, the public has shown great interest in his personal affairs, particularly the relationship between Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, which has recently ended. A viral moment occurred (with some use of explicit language) when he advised his son to put in the work if he wanted a pair of Dior Air Force 1 sneakers that retail for thousands of dollars.

Previously in August, JLo initiated divorce proceedings with Ben Affleck. Since then, fans have been keenly observing the developments in both their personal lives. Recently, the actor from “Batman v Superman” has been making headlines for various reasons, such as clarifying those grumpy Dunkin’ photos online and more. During an interview with Access Hollywood at the premiere of “The Accountant 2“, he discussed his child’s extravagant taste, humorously referring back to his comment about the costly Dior Air Force 1s when his son asked for them: “That’s a lot of lawns you gotta mow there”. Affleck playfully quipped about it, saying.

When you ask someone to mow the lawn, suddenly they don’t want their expensive shoes. Do you have children? Do you have a 13-year-old child? There always seems to be some way for them to try and get what they want. I said something like “You don’t really need $6,000 shoes.” He responded with “We do have the money,” and I countered with “I have money too, but you’re in a financial struggle!

To put it simply, this is quite a memorable purchase. It’s likely that Affleck can afford such an expensive item, but he doesn’t typically splurge on shoes like these for his children. Instead, he seems to be using this as a teaching moment, demonstrating the value of money and how much these sneakers would cost for the average person.

Despite being frequently associated with Sad Affleck memes and appearing dismal alongside JLo at the Grammys, Ben Affleck maintains a sharp wit. He even enjoyed joking about the tale involving his son and the extravagant Air Force 1 shoes.

Previously, it was noted that his connection with Lopez garnered attention and sparked numerous news headlines. Since their divorce from JLo was settled in January, there’s been a buzz about how these high-profile celebrities might be pursuing new romantic relationships.

As a devoted cinephile, I must say, even though the media has been abuzz about their high-profile split, it’s heartening to hear that their families have managed to maintain a strong bond. Lopez and Affleck, in rekindling their romance, skillfully interwove their families. Their offspring, each unique in their own right, have forged connections all their own.

Considering Ben Affleck’s impressive career accomplishments, it wouldn’t be surprising if he could afford the $6k for his child’s shoes without breaking a sweat. However, instead of flaunting his wealth, he seems intent on setting an example and sharing the story in a humorous way with the public. It turns out that celebrities can indeed be similar to us common folk.

Affeck’s upcoming film, titled “The Accountant 2“, is set to premiere in cinemas on April 25th, as part of the 2025 film schedule. However, don’t anticipate him wearing his Air Force 1 sneakers during the press promotions.
