Ben Affleck lost his cool with paparazzi photographers camped outside his and Jennifer Lopez‘s marital home, warning them they are putting his life in danger.
The 51-year-old actor, whose marriage with Lopez, 54, is rumored to be on the rocks after just two years, has been going through a tough time lately.

And his troubles were only exacerbated when he was met with flashing cameras after arriving at their Beverly Hills mansion in Los Angeles, which provoked an angry response from Affleck.
In video footage obtained by TMZ, Affleck could be heard telling one of the cameramen: “Listen, man, you’re going to get me in an accident. Don’t flash your lights as I’m driving down the driveway.”
The Hollywood star, known for his intense and private demeanor, was visibly bothered with the incident and was seen yelling at the snappers outside his home.
The “Argo” star continued to get into one particular photographer’s face as he attempted to lecture him on the dangers of the flash from his camera.
“Don’t do that. That’s dangerous. You don’t even know if that’s me. You could cause an accident,” Affleck continued.
“It’s dangerous what you guys are doing. Do you understand? I can’t see. You’re going to get somebody hurt doing this s***. Jesus Christ, my daughter’s coming down here. If you flash your lights on her, you’re putting her in danger. Do you understand that?”
He could be seen gesticulating furiously and telling him to leave the property. Then another man continued to take photos, which only added to Affleck’s fury.

The incident once again highlighted the pressure of living in the public eye, which is unsurprising given that Affleck and Lopez‘s relationship difficulties have been widely publicized over the past few months.
The couple, dubbed ‘Bennifer’ by the media, have been under the spotlight since it emerged that a possible divorce was on the cards in May. Despite constant rumors of divorce, there is nothing official to suggest documents have been filed with a court just yet.
Lopez later canceled her music tour of Europe as she attempted to fight to save her marriage. However, speculation suggests they are still navigating some challenges, with recent reports claiming Affleck temporarily ended his sobriety.
