Ben Affleck steps out without his beard: hot or kind of meh?


Here are some photos of Ben Affleck yesterday, showing off his newly shorn face with a little stubble. Ben off course shaved off his beard at a post-Oscar party, where he was likely doing tequila shots with George Clooney to numb the pain. US Weekly reported that his co-worker/wife brought some clippers with her in her purse and Ben did the deed in a hallway. You just know that he left hair laying around everywhere afterwards and that some poor worker had to sweep it up. Cleaning up hair is the worst.

Ben usually does it for me despite his extreme well-documented douchiness and constant disrespect of his wife. I thought he was really hot in Argo, in The Town, and in the crappy movies he starred in earlier in this career. (Although Forces of Nature wasn’t bad. I love Sandra Bullock.) Ben was looking especially manly to me with that beard, and I can imagine being Garner and dealing with his issues in exchange for the sexy times, if only in theory. In practice it’s probably just as much work as he’s making it out to be.

Without the beard he’s not as hot to me, and that’s weird because I usually like clean cut guys. (And bald guys! And Ben is usually neither.) Maybe it’s this doofy outfit he’s wearing, a too-big jacket over a checked shirt with jeans. (US Weekly has a better photo here.) This is some late 80s throwback outfit, when preppy was in. All he needs are some boat shoes to complete the look. He probably had a business meeting or something, but he could have kept it business casual and not as dorky.

In comparison, here he is just before the Oscars looking rugged as hell. Mmmm.

Then this. Ok, I take it back he’s still hot. Just not AS hot. My opinion of him has changed though too, I have to say.

    He’s still giving me Scott Peterson, but yes, still hot and most definitely a DILF! LOL

    I’ve been catching some of his past films I missed. I just saw “Changing Lanes” (thanks youtube) and he played the redeemed ahole quite well. I need to see “The Town”

      Well, he did compare himself to Peterson.

      “At the time, I knew on some level, ‘This is insane,’ ” he said of the “Bennifer” years, telling the magazine that he was the media’s punching bag. “What was that guy’s name who killed his wife and dumped her off the side of a boat? … Peterson. I remember thinking he actually gets slightly better treatment than I do in the press.”

      Wait, excuse us: Ben Affleck, say what?

      “At least they had to say ‘alleged killer,’” he continued. “Unfortunately there’s an aspect of that that’s like one of those fights you see on YouTube where one of them falls down and then a bunch of people who were standing around come over and kick the person. They don’t know them, they have no involvement in the fight, but they recognize a moment that they can get a free shot in, and for some people it’s just too much to resist. And that was definitely me at that point. I was the guy. I was the designated person to loathe.”

    I see Scott Peterson, but I’m really getting Jake Gyllenhaal vibes. I don’t think I’d mind the clean shaven look as much as if he would actually wear a decent outfit. hmm

    Oh CB you just made my groggy morning that much better, “co-worker/wife”….BRILLIANTLY captured!

    Beardy faces = hella hot! That awesome roughness is too much to handle. See Chris Evans with a beard and flannel if you want more proof.
    :) HAPPY FRIDAY!

    there is NOTHING remotely hot about affleck.
    he turns my stomach.
    smug, rude, unmanly, shameful cry baby who continues to blame JLo for his hollywood slump.
    then he embarrasses his wife again, only this time in front of millions of oscar viewers and his peers?
    can’t stand him.
    hahaha…sorry for the rant. just can’t with him…

    I never fancied Affleck back in the day when he was supposedly the hottest thing on two legs. In theory, he was just my type – tall, brown eyed, well-built but not overly muscular, but there was something about him which was just off. And then, when I saw him at the Oscars with that beard, I thought to myself, hmmmm…… I could definitely do that. And I don’t even like beards. Maybe it’s because it covers up the slightly doughy lower half of his face and makes him look a bit more manly? Whatever the reason, Affleck is one of those men who deffo looks better with some facial hair. Other examples include Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana.

    Don’t care for beards at all, but I admit he did manage to somewhat pull off the look…

    He may have a bad rep, but I would still give it a go.

    Crap, I entered the Mom-Zone. All I can see is him holding that iPad with his fingers and thinking my son would be grounded if he took two steps holding the iPad like that.

    granted, Mr. Affleck could afford to replace his iPad…

    This marriage is a total fiasco. Body language tell a lot. Look at the last picture of the link below. It tells a lot of how much Ben is fond of his wife – zero attraction!!

    I didn’t like him back in the Armageddon days, but he is seriously good looking. I missed that probably because I was into Nick Carter who now I think “bleh!”

    Preppy IS in and the kids are all wearing boat shoes! We called them dock siders but, the kids are now calling them by their brand name- Sperry’s. (the things you learn on Tumblr)

    He looks hot, but, too cheesy for me in the leather jacket. I can’t take men seriously in leather for some reason- makes me laugh.

    Okay, I agree, he looks rugged, manly and hot-as-hell in the pics with the beard and leather jacket. I don’t think he would’ve looked as awkward in the more recent pics if he hadn’t chosen to button the jacket… that just drew attention to the fact that his shirt was untucked and made it pull around his mid-section.

    Something about his personality turns me off, but I love tall guys with confidence… and Mr Affleck has both to spare.

    Popular opinion being Ben would put a full stop to the pr campaigning (ie papped with his kids), it was interesting to see him out with his daughter yesterday.
