Ben Affleck has been seen frequently out on walks out with his girlfriend, Knives Out star Ana De Armas, in the weeks since the coronavirus quarantine began. Such was the case on Thursday when the couple—who met on the set of the upcoming psychological thriller, Deep Water—were spotted out in Venice, California.
Affleck was wearing a face mask, as mandated by organizations such as WHO and the CDC, however, it seemed to be beside the point since he kept lifting it up over his nose so he could smoke a cigarette.
