AceShowbiz - Ben Affleck may be regretting trying to defy his age following comments about his different look at Tom Brady's Netflix roast. The actor/director is reportedly "upset" at his wife Jennifer Lopez for pushing him to get "fillers and Botox" ahead of his appearance at the live special.
"Ben's comedy roast of Tom Brady seems to have backfired," a source told In Touch on Tuesday, May 7. "He was coming for the public's negative social media comments towards Tom but ended up igniting a firestorm about his own appearance. He's furious because he's getting slammed for fillers and Botox that Jen pushed him to get."
The 51-year-old apparently partly blames his wife for the negative response to his new face. "Ben's upset with Jen because if it wasn't for her he would never get work done, but she's convinced him that everybody in Hollywood does a little facial maintenance, including his good friends, like Matt Damon," the informant continued.
Despite his resentment, the "Gone Girl" star "takes responsibility for agreeing to certain procedures, but from now on he says he wants to age gracefully," the source added. However, according to the source, Jen "doesn't agree. She says he looks great, but that's where they're at."
Ben sparked plastic surgery rumors following his appearance at "The Greatest Roast of All Time" which was broadcast live on Sunday, May 5. One viewer wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, "Ben Affleck's face lift looks insane." Another similarly guessed, "Ben Affleck is on stage fresh from a face lift."
A confused fan asked, "THIS is Ben Affleck? Why does his face look so different? It's almost like he had some nip & tucks done." Someone else mocked him as saying, "Ben Affleck couldn't afford good plastic surgery? No wonder he seems so angry. That's permanent."
Denying the rumors, insiders told Daily Mail that Ben did not go under the knife, but he was simply clean shaven and had had some botox. "He had Botox - everyone gets it before events. He has not had filler and definitely no surgery," one of the sources said.
The sources claimed that J.Lo is more than happy with his appearance and would not be keen for him to get surgery. "Jennifer would not be keen on him changing his handsome face, nor would he want to," they added. "Ben is confident in his skin. He just wanted it tighter."
