We know that Ben Affleck was on a week-long vacation in Montana last week because “a source close to the couple” told People Magazine. Some of you speculated that People got the news from social media, which may have been the case but doesn’t jibe with this couple’s need to tell the celebrity press about every up and down in their relationship. Maybe they’re trying to lay low for some reason, but I doubt it. One piece of news we found out from social media was the fact that Ben was in London this past weekend for a showing of the play Harry Potter and The Cursed Child, which he attended with his daughter, Violet, 10. The Facebook page for the play posted the photo with the cast above, and if you squint you can see Ben and Violet on the right. Also at the same showing was Ben’s Suicide Squad costar, Margot Robbie, and other celebrities including Glee’s Darren Criss.

As US Weekly points out, Ben is renting a house in London, where he’s been filming Justice League. And as we mentioned yesterday, he spent his birthday last year at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with his family and has since been seen out wearing a Sirius Black t-shirt. Harry Potter is a Warner Brothers property, so it’s not surprising to see Ben at a showing of Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. In no way am I suggesting that his Harry Potter interest is not genuine, we love HP in our house too and my son just finished the new book/screenplay, just that it was probably easier for him than most to get tickets.

Many of you mentioned Ben’s new face in yesterday’s post. He’s had so much Botox that he looks like he’s having trouble emoting in interviews, although it seems to have settled somewhat since he first got injections late last year. We talked about his face quite a bit when he premiered it and he actually looks better now than he did back then, but you can obviously still see the difference.

Here’s Ben with his Sirius Black t-shirt back in August. This was his 1.0 face but you can’t really tell because of the beard.

Here’s the before and after pic I did of Ben right after he got his new face in December.
