Caption This: Can Someone Please Explain to Me What Ben Affleck’s Deal Is?

And use small words, because after seeing this photo of Ben – acting like this on an ice cream outing with his family – I’m kind of fried out on being all intellectual and analytical this morning. The only things cycling in my brain right now are nappy beards, little penises, and Boston accents.

I know that this guy is a total asshat and makes no bones about being perceived as a complete toolkit in public (though I still totally would have shagged him ten years ago), but adding ‘being an embarrassment to in front of his family‘ to the growing list of acting a fool?

God, dude. Jen must be so proud.

  • Every time I see video of paparazzi, they are saying incredibly rude things to their target in hopes they’ll flip out. So when I see pictures of this nature, I just assume it was provoked.

  • What the deal is? How ’bout that he’s indeed an immature toolbag. Yeah, I know the paparazzi is a complete pain in the ass and in your face all of time, blah, blah, blah. However, when you’re a grown man who chose a career that gives you a high profile. When you are with your family, you should be setting a better example for your kid(s) that’s above reacting like this.

  • Maybe when one goes into a shop or store, one would like to not have cameras shoved in ones face.

  • This is an easy call. I will never fault a celebrity for behaving or reacting badly when dealing with the paparazzi. As far as I’m concerned, each celebrity should be able to shoot one paparazzi every year who they deem the worst of the bunch. Maybe that will teach these losers who chase celebrities around with cameras to at least be civil.

  • i’m all about celebrities telling the cameras to piss off, but i agree with the above commenter that said affleck’s setting a bad example for their kids; it’s true.

  • Ben-You have the money, if the paps bother you so much MOVE! Guess what? There aren’t paps in San Francisco, Portland, Chicago and a number of other fantastic US cities. Celebs move all the time. Do it for your own sanity, if it makes you this pissy.

  • Seems the shop owner should have asked the photographer to leave (private property and such). I do wonder what this entire scenario is about as well.

  • iF I HAD AS MUCH MONEY i´D HAVE SOME ONE PAID TO KICK THE PAPS ASS. AS FAR AS iM CONCERNED, iF IT IS INDEED PROVOKED, tHE EBST LESSON HE COULD TEACH THAT KID IS DONT TAKE SHIT FROM NO ONE, AND WITH HIS MONEY HE COULD GET AWAY WITH KICKING SOMEONES ASS TOO…SO I SAY FUCKIT BEN, FLIP EM ALL OFF LOL!

  • My theory on the paparazzi is, if you ignore them, they’ll go away. Clearly, the guy that took this photo made more money, because it’s been 1) published and more importantly, B) used to create inflammatory copy.

  • This man is a tosser!! What sort of father makes obsence gestures like that in front of his kids??? I wonder if he shouts “f*ck you!!” and worse in front of them? I understand that sometimes he gets fed up and angry but there is really no excuse for that! Dump him Jen – you’re too good for him anyway.
