However, his close friends believe that his self-destructive habits have returned strongly, as they appear to have started to impact his daily life.
Ben Affleck’s friends are concerned about his habits, sources suggest
A source told OK Magazine that Affleck’s friends are allegedly worried that he might turn to his old habits amid stress related to personal and professional life. The source claims, “Whenever Ben is under pressure, he tends to fall back on comfort eating and endless caffeine, but this time it’s on another level.”
However, they are concerned that he may spiral back into alcohol use yet again after reportedly being sober for five years. Touching upon his consumption of fast food and caffeine, the source added, “Those close to him feel the habits have crept back in so strongly that they’re starting to define his day-to-day life, which is deeply concerning.”
Sharing his friends’ worries around his age and smoking, the source added, “He’s chain-smoking, fueling himself with coffee from morning until night, and doing almost no physical activity. At his age, it’s not something you can shrug off, and people around him can see the toll it’s starting to take.” These source-claimed comments come in light of Ben Affleck constantly being under public scrutiny for his professional life, his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, and co-parenting his children with Jennifer Garner.
This also comes amid Affleck’s recent sighting in Los Angeles, as he drove past Garner’s house. He was well-dressed and appeared to be puffing a cigarette as he was seated inside his matte black BMW, as reported by the Daily Mail.
