Ben Affleck spends quality time with his mini-me son Samuel, 11, as they play basketball
Ben Affleck was in daddy mode on Saturday, taking his son Samuel to play basketball and for a cruise in his custom electric Ford Bronco.
The Air star, 50, donned a navy blue T-shirt for the occasion, along with dark jeans and a pair of red, black and white Nike sneakers as he showed off his skills in a Los Angeles park.
The actor — who recently gushed about how his wife Jennifer Lopez “eats what she wants” and still looks great — looked every inch the proud dad as he watched his 11-year-old shoot hoops.
Samuel was also dressed sporty for the occasion, wearing a blue t-shirt, basketball shorts and sneakers.
Affleck shares Samuel and daughters Violet Affleck, 17, and Seraphina Affleck, 14, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 51.

He is also a stepfather to Lopez’s twins Emme and Max, 15, who she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony, 54.
Affleck recently approached his new wife during a video chat with Drew Barrymore for her talk show.
Air’s director said the 53-year-old mother-actress can eat whatever she wants and still look great.
And the Oscar winner went into details.
“Let me tell you something that will upset you. Jennifer just eats whatever she wants. Whatever she wants. She eats cookies, ice cream, everything,’ he began.
Drew asked if all that exercise keeps JLO thin. ‘She works out. I work out too, but I don’t magically seem to be twenty years old, you know what I mean, with perfect skin and all,” he joked.
“The work ethic cannot be taken away, the work ethic is real, the discipline is real, but also the superhuman is real. She is the most beautiful woman in the world, she looks spectacular.’
And when asked what JLo would like to change about him, he probably said he talks a lot.

“She would probably want to cultivate brevity in the way I speak. I don’t know if you noticed, but I’m going on and on and on. I talk in circles. She never told me, but I’d guess.’
Drew then asked, “When was the last time you went skinny dipping?”
To which Ben replied, “This is going to be a different kind of story. My wife and I went on vacation recently, we went in the pool, I don’t know if that counts as skinny dipping. It wasn’t like an eighties school movie.”
“Were you naked?” asked the host.
“We were naked in the pool, yes.”
Affleck married the singer in August 2022 in a breathtaking ceremony in Georgia at their $8.9 million “plantation” estate.
The marriage followed a secret, small-scale wedding in Las Vegas on July 16. All of the couple’s children were at the wedding, making it a mixed family affair.
The couple’s happy reunion came 20 years after they first dated and got engaged, only to call off their wedding in the fall of 2003, blaming excessive media attention.
