Ben Affleck cut a nonchalant figure as he picked up his son Samuel from basketball practice in LA on Wednesday.
The Gone Girl actor, 51, smoked a cigarette before taking his son home and looked calm in a blue sweater and jeans.
Ben shares Sam with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 51. The couple also have daughters Violet Anne, 18, and Seraphina Rose, 15.
The couple separated in 2015 after ten years of marriage and officially divorced three years later.
Sam – who wore a Junior Lakers jersey – is an avid basketball fan and he and Ben are often seen together at games.

Ben and Jennifer became friends over films like Pearl Harbor and Daredevil, and they started dating in 2004.
The couple tied the knot in an intimate wedding ceremony held in 2005, and welcomed Violet that same year.
The couple then added Seraphina and Samuel to their family in 2009 and 2012.
The artists eventually split in 2015 and their divorce was finalized three years later.
The actor, who was also linked to Ana de Armas, then rekindled his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, to whom he was briefly engaged in the early 2000s.
The filmmaker and the 54-year-old singer got married in Las Vegas in July 2022.
Ben also serves as stepfather to his wife’s twins, Emme and Maximilian, 16, whom she shares with her former husband Marc Anthony.
Lopez spoke about her blended family during an interview with Fashionstating that her children quickly adapted to their new dynamic.

After his divorce from Jennifer Garner, Ben rekindled his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, to whom he was briefly engaged in the early 2000s.
‘The transition is a process that you have to handle very carefully. They have so many feelings.
‘They’re teenagers. But so far it’s going really well,” she says.
The Jenny From The Block singer went on to talk about her ambitions for her extended family.
“What I hope to cultivate with our family is that his children have a new ally in me and my children have a new ally in him, someone who truly loves and cares about them, but who can have a different perspective and help me seeing things I can’t,” she stated.
