Ben Affleck made a surprise appearance at Netflix’s The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady in L.A. on May 5, only to get roasted by viewers for his frozen, wrinkle-free complexion. “I know why we always think [he] is angry. He’s had so much Botox … his face just doesn’t move,” one fan joked on X, while another compared the smoothed-out 51-year-old to Curious George. The reactions to his appearance have ignited discussions not only about his looks but also about the pressures of aging in Hollywood.
Ben failed to find the humor in such comments. According to a source, the Oscar winner is furious that he’s being slammed for the Botox that wife Jennifer Lopez pushed him to get. “If it wasn’t for J. Lo, Ben would never get work done, but she convinced him that everybody in Hollywood does a little facial maintenance,” the source exclusively told Life & Style. Despite this, Ben reportedly wants to embrace aging more naturally from now on.
While Ben himself has never publicly commented on his cosmetic procedures, triple board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Ramtin Kassir provided insights into the Good Will Hunting star’s changing appearance. He noted that Ben’s signature crow’s feet, a hallmark of his look, appear significantly smoother in recent photos compared to earlier images. This change raises questions about the possible treatments he may have undergone to maintain his youthful appearance.

Dr. Kassir emphasized that the noticeable difference in Ben's appearance suggests he may have sought treatments like neurotoxin injections among other possibilities. The overall smoother and shinier look could also stem from other factors, such as weight loss or enhanced skincare routines. He added that Ben’s face appears refreshed, with no visible incisions indicating invasive procedures like facelifts.
As the conversation about Ben’s appearance continues, it highlights the broader issues of celebrity culture, aging, and the expectations placed on public figures to look youthful. The tension between Ben and J. Lo over his cosmetic choices reflects a common struggle among couples navigating personal decisions in the public eye. Sources indicate that their relationship is reaching a breaking point, as they face various marital issues, including disagreements over cosmetic procedures.
The insider reports that Ben has already moved out of their luxurious $60 million home and is focusing on his children and career. While they may still care for each other, the reality of their situation suggests that their relationship may not be sustainable. Fans and followers of Bennifer are left to ponder the complexities of love, beauty standards, and the challenges of maintaining a relationship amid public scrutiny.
