Ben Affleck has reportedly left his close friends and family deeply worried due to what insiders describe as ongoing self-destructive habits following a turbulent year marked by his divorce from Jennifer Lopez and professional setbacks.
According to sources cited by Closer Magazine, the Hollywood star has increasingly turned to junk food, excessive coffee, and smoking, while largely abandoning his regular fitness routine. Insiders claim Affleck has become moody and withdrawn, raising concerns about his emotional and physical well-being.
“He’s been very down lately, and what’s more troubling is how unhealthy his lifestyle has become,” a source said. “He’s smoking daily, drinking endless cups of coffee, and constantly eating greasy fast food. On top of that, he’s barely exercising anymore, which is a big change from his past habits.”
Family members, including his children, mother, and ex-wife Jennifer Garner, have reportedly tried to encourage healthier choices, but their efforts have met resistance. The source revealed that Affleck often dismisses their concerns, believing they are overreacting due to unflattering paparazzi photos.
Despite the pushback, Jennifer Garner is said to remain actively involved in supporting Affleck, even preparing healthy meals and stocking his refrigerator with nutritious options. However, insiders claim he continues to opt for takeout instead.
“His mom and Jennifer are genuinely worried, but Ben tends to shut down when confronted,” the source added. “He hates feeling lectured and becomes defensive, even though people are simply trying to help.”
Insiders believe Affleck’s unhealthy coping mechanisms stem from stress and emotional strain, warning that the actor’s current lifestyle could lead to serious long-term health issues if left unaddressed.
