Ben Affleck appears to be experiencing a midlife crisis amid ongoing speculation about a divorce from Jennifer Lopez.
The actor was recently spotted in Los Angeles, channeling his inner rocker with a new hairstyle and outfit.
The drastic look follows Ben Affleck's move to purchase a stunning $20.5 million mansion in Los Angeles.

Amid rumors that Affleck and Lopez are on the brink of divorce, the "Argo" star has sparked speculation that he might be experiencing a "midlife crisis."
The movie star was seen taking a walk through a parking lot before hopping onto an electric motorcycle and heading to an unknown destination. Though this choice of vehicle was unusual for him, it was his edgy new look that truly caught everyone's attention.
Photos from the scene showed Affleck sporting a tiny faux-hawk, with the sides of his head almost completely shaved and the remaining hair styled forward towards his forehead.
He seemed to be embracing a rocker vibe, wearing a Red Hot Chili Peppers t-shirt underneath a black biker jacket paired with skinny jeans and dark aviators.
According to the Daily Mail, Affleck was also without his wedding ring, a detail that has been observed multiple times in the weeks since rumors about the breakdown of his marriage to Lopez began circulating.
The look has since gone viral on social media, with some netizens on X (formerly Twitter) branding it a "midlife crisis," and other's claiming the actor doesn't look great with haircut.

Affleck has recently found a permanent residence as he and Lopez continue living apart amid their marital troubles.
According to TMZ, the actor "closed escrow" on a mansion in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles, for a whopping $20.5 million.
The mansion reportedly has five bedrooms, six bathrooms, breakfast and dining spaces, and a separate family room. It also has a den, walk-in closets, a movie room, a powder room, a guest house, and more.

Despite persistent rumors about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's marriage being over, the couple has remained silent in the media.
However, it seems only a matter of time before the truth comes out. The pair haven't been seen together in public for several months, and they spent their second wedding anniversary in July apart rather than together like most couples.
When they are seen alone in public, Affleck usually goes without his wedding band, and Lopez recently followed suit after being spotted without the piece of jewelry earlier in the week.
Even more telling is that their $68 million marital home in Beverly Hills has been up for sale for a while, and Affleck, who moved out a few months ago, bought a $20.5 million "bachelor pad" in Los Angeles.
According to the Daily Mail, a divorce is expected soon, with sources claiming that the documents "are finalized, but not yet turned in."
The Actor Is Planning A 'Big Blowout' After The Divorce Is Finalized

When the divorce is finalized, there will likely be much celebration, at least on Affleck's side. Last month, In Touch reported that the actor plans to have a massive blowout with friends and family to celebrate his separation.
"Ben just wants to get away from it all and enjoy himself again, and he wants to take his close friends with him," a close source told the publication.
The source added, "He's talking about arranging a big blowout at his place in Georgia, which is pretty ironic since that's where he and J. Lo had their big wedding."
The Event Will Likely Be 'Hurtful' For Jennifer Lopez

The insider also claimed that the party might be held in Las Vegas, where the couple got married, adding that such a celebration would deeply hurt Lopez.
They said, "No matter where he chooses to have this party, even if it's somewhere that has no connection to his marriage, like Mexico, it's going to be hurtful for J. Lo because this will be seen as him essentially celebrating escaping their relationship."
