Yesterday we covered photos of Ben Affleck and Ana de Armas walking their dogs, and a lot of you pointed out that they weren’t wearing masks. Considering that it’s just the two of them I didn’t think it was that big of a deal, especially compared to the other times we’ve seen Ana in particular without a mask. The mayor of Los Angeles, Eric Garcetti, has “issued an order requiring Angelenos to wear face coverings when they leave their their homes and will be near other people.” I guess you could interpret that to mean that it’s ok not to wear a mask if you’re just walking your dog. If you’re famous and know you’re going to be photographed, would you prioritize getting your face in the photos or would you wear a mask to show it’s the right thing to do for everyone’s health? Covid is surging in California and Los Angeles County in particular, and beaches, bike paths and piers have been ordered closed for the upcoming Fourth of July Weekend. That’s all I’m saying about that.
Ben held his dog’s poo in a bag. I think he’s the type of guy who won’t pick it up unless there are witnesses, but that’s my own bias. They embraced and hugged. Ana was in a floral bohemian dress with balloon sleeves, which she paired with flip flops. I wonder how many outfits she’s getting sent and if she’s getting paid to wear them. She must be, right?
Do you guys want to keep talking about Ben and Ana? It seems like you do. Like many of you I had a very positive opinion of her after seeing her performance in Knives Out. That has changed. She seems perfect for Ben. They both love dogs and getting their picture taken.

Just… so dumb. Wear a mask.
If Ben wears a mask, we may not pay attention to his dye job. Hair and beard both are much darker…..just saying…..LOL
I noticed it too! His darker beard is weird. I prefer the salt and pepper beard over the weirdly dark dye job on beards.
Well there’s not much to talk about celebrity-gossip wise, so they’ll do. But by the time films and TV start up again we will all be sick of them. Weird PR strategy but…OK.
Ummmm, if that a trick of the light or did he dye his beard? If he did, please tell me because I may never stop laughing. It’s not for any role currently filming…so? Yes Ben, your girlfriend is much younger than you. I take it you noticed 😂.
Thirsty buggers, aren’t they…
Isn’t Ben famous enough to no longer need to do these pap walks?
I think he is just habitually thirsty, has always been. He is an empty shell of a man, who needs constant approval from the outside.
…and make his new bird happen.
I’ve reached the point where I am ready to never ever watch another movie with her in it again. PS. Disclaimer – I haven’t watched anything with Affleck in it in ten years, so no gender discrimination involved. I find them both equally insufferable.
I will only call her Ana de Maskless from now on. Any ideas for Ben?
Ben’s freshly dyed hair & beard is just…
Ana’s outfits are just…
These two are just…
It’s exhausting to look at them.
I used to think eh, pap strolls who cares it’s harmless. After seeing her hugging her friends with no mask, she is the opposite of harmless. Like that meme says, a mask is an IQ test.
In these pics she seems to be “on” him rather than with him, like a tenacious growth,
I like the dress. I’ll continue to watch her on screen if it interests me, but she will likely never carry a film on name.
Wow his guns 💪🏼, he’s never done it for me but that’s starting to change. She’s been rejuvenating for him. As an aside, so glad Yalitza and Eva Longoria are now members of the Academy.
I agree. He is trimmer and well groomed than he’s been in a while. He really does better with a mommy figure. Is he swearing a spanx undershirt?
i always get the feeling she’s trying to recreate the hype of the original bennifer phenomena…
‘I think he’s the type of guy who won’t pick it up unless there are witnesses, but that’s my own bias.’LMAO you are hillarious
Why hasn’t eva Longoria been a part of the academy sooner? Her work history in Hollywood is much more extensive than Ana?
Yes, shameful that it’s taken so long for someone that has done so much for our community, she’s been a huge advocate. I love Eva!
Yes, that’s the real story here. Shameful.
I’ve been wanting bigger things for her since Blade Runner 2049. I’m a bit annoyed with her these days though.
There is an interesting interview clip out there I saw recently where Ana is doing promo with Chris Evans for Knives Out and he’s being a bit flirty with the interviewer (It’s really cute) and she seems put out about him not answering the interviewers question in a way to include her. If that’s typical, she could be a bit exhausting.
She seems really thirsty for fame and has found a way to quench that thirst. It will be interesting to see what happens when they get tired of each other. I don’t see this lasting.
I have only seen her in War Dogs and she was quite good. This relationship is not going to work in het favour because she is with such a big star and they are acting so thirsty. She should lay low like Dakota Johson who is also dating someone more famous than her,it just shows you that it is very possible not to be all out there.
Funny, this is the first article about them I’ve ever clicked on because I wanted to see if there was something interesting about them I’m missing. Instead my favorite part Of the post was the question at the end asking if we want you to stop covering them!
I’d prefer not to see any more coverage of these two. I rarely care about Ben Affleck and they’re both so thirsty it’s more embarrassing than fun. They’re such a drain it’s barely worth the effort of scrolling past to get to an article I like.
I wear a mask literally every time I walk out the door because I live in NYC and the streets are pretty much always crowded. That said, if I lived in Venice which is much quieter and more of a neighborhood, I probably wouldn’t if I was just walking my dog.
The point is to wear a mask when you cannot socially distance. Americans are so terrified of being accused of being anti-mask that we wear them everywhere but really … public spaces, indoors, and locations where you cannot socially distance. And definitely not when you drive your own car because I’ve seen that.
I think Ana is thirsty AF but I’m not judging her for the mask situation here.
With the car thing. I’ve done that. It’s mainly because if I’m going to go to more than one location, I don’t want to needlessly touch my mask to take it off and then put it on again.
I wear a mask to go get my mail and take out my trash because I live in a neighborhood where there are always people jogging, pushing strollers, riding bikes, etc. It’s inevitable someone will be in my vicinity the same time as me. I imagine it’s the same for them, so I don’t get why they’re not wearing them.
I thought i was going to love Knives Out. I was so excited to see it. And then, its…fine. A little staid and static. I was expecting it to be better.
And is he really *that* famous that the paparazzi can sell dog walking pictures every week?
How about they just let us know when he’s caught banging someone else.
The no mask thing is totally for the pap stroll. Ben was papped earlier in the day taking the dogs out on his own and he wore a mask.
They obvs want publicity, I just hope the fall out from this won’t be career ending for Ana…
Yeah, he seems to wear them when he’s by himself but when he’s with her he doesn’t. He wore one the day prior when being walked by a PA to a shoot of some sort. But then not that evening when with Ana.
There’s another pic of her online, same walk, where she is being super-pouty-face. He just looks like he wants to smack her. It’s sad if she plainly acts like that in front of the paps.
I’m totally in support of masks, but why would you wear one when you are outside and away from other people? Where I live the guidelines are to wear a mask when you cannot physical distance 2m+ , not when you are outside with space.
Same. I don’t see any problem with not wearing a mask when outside in an uncrowded area. Indoors or on a busy city street, that’s a totally different situation .
No. I go out on walks all the time in a pretty isolated area (purposefully chose this), and I dont’ wear it. I wear it on my way out and on my way back inside, but not on the walk. BUT she was photographed in a group not wearing a mask, not socially distanced. That I would not do. Also I’m not a celebrity, and because of what trump has done, I feel we have a moral obligation to model life-saving behavior. So if I was having my pic taken every damn day and it was being seen all over the country? I’d wear the mask. But I put a lot of stock in my moral obligation to the greater good. I know that sounds like really out there, or virtual signaling etc, but it’s not. That’s who I am. I invest in that. In many ways.
He’s tiresome. Always has been. If I were Jen Garner I would be watching this very closely re the children’s safety. She’s annoying too. I go for walks in the same yoga pants and tshirt – not this ever changing wardrobe. They’re two peas in a thirsty pod!
I actually like wearing extra outfits to walk my dogs (with mask of course), with eyeshadow and sometimes my hair done, it makes me feel like we’re not in the middle of the apocalypse. My bf makes fun of me asking me where I’m going. I definitely don’t have paps following me ha!
Why cant they be out taking a walk??? They should be wearing masks, but they are allowed to take a walk!!!
I know I hate on them a lot, but that’s because I dislike both of them. (Him way way more than her, because he is a sexual assaulting famewh*re, whereas she is merely a famewh*re.)
In my opinion, because they are being photographed so often, they should always wear masks. These images are going out to the public, and they have an impact, whether conscious or subconscious. It is a moral obligation for people with their level of visibility and power to demonstrate civic-mindedness, especially because our leadership in Washington is so selfish. Set an example! You have enormous privilege, use it for good!
I can’t with these thirsty, a-holes, but I NEED that dress in my life! Any ID on it?
@Becks – Daily Mail had it!

Pretty sure Taylor Swift wore the same dress in an IG post the other day too? Looks super cute AND comfy af
TeamMeg, thanks 🙂
I don’t wear my mask in my apt complex when I’m walking my dog or getting the mail because they’re really aren’t people just walking around. But I do wear it if I’m running errands, I.e., going to the supermarket or the post office…anywhere where there is sure to be others & possible crowds. That said, if they’re walking the dogs in a rather isolated area I don’t think wearing a mask is necessary, however, she’s made a point not to wear the mask in public places with others around & that I find really irresponsible & frustrating. If she can’t figure out when it’s necessary to wear the mask then she just needs to have it on ANYTIME she steps out the house
Like their posts… here for her dog. Adorable:)
This will in no way affect my opinion in regards to her talent. How Ana is as an actress is what will permanently form my opinion of her. Just like I respect Ben Affleck as a writer and director. I also liked his acting in “The Accountant”. I do however, think that there should be less articles about them. They’re not quite that interesting. Wear masks.!…
Ben allegedly has signed a contract for Batman HBO Max. What happened to him saying he was not interested in doing blockbuster films & would rather do smaller budget films? I think there will be much more pressure on him & is sobriety. I think it is better on his sobriety to do smaller budget films.
I agree that Ben looks better w/ the salt & pepper look. It looks more natural.
