LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ben Affleck enjoys smoking and the actor's expressions as he gets his nicotine fix has fans laughing as they make 'smoking cigarettes' memes.
This was evident on Monday, November 20, when he showed up to pick up his kids from skateboarding in Los Angeles.
The 'Justice League' actor was seen looking into a black rucksack while carrying a carton of Marlboro cigarettes in images obtained by Page Six.
And now, people are humorously trolling the actor about how much Affleck likes his smoke breaks.
Ben Affleck smoking cigarettes is a mood
Old habits are hard to break. This is not the first time Affleck has been spotted with cigarettes while seemingly contemplating ways to 'peace out' from everything in his life.
Affleck was spotted smoking on November 17 while touring Los Angeles in his Rolls Royce with his son Samuel Affleck and wife Jennifer Lopez.
Despite rumors that the 54-year-old singer wants her 51-year-old husband to quit smoking, the couple was grinning as they drove about.
Affleck enjoys the McDonald's drive-thru, but Lopez is known for her healthy diet and commitment to the gym.
However, since the two resumed their romance in 2021, she's attempting to encourage him to lead a more health-conscious lifestyle, per Daily Mail.
According to a source, the Oscar winner, despite his affection for cigarettes, "really wants to take care of himself for Jennifer and the kids and be really present. And he does feel his best when he’s working out with a trainer and eating right," per OK Magazine.
In another boss move, Affleck was earlier seen smoking a cigarette outside his Santa Monica office the day after he was spotted having breakfast with his songstress wife, fueling rumors that their marriage might be having issues, according to RadarOnline.
