Ben Affleck & Jennifer Garner Choose Paintball Over Oscars
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner celebrate son Samuel's birthday with laughter and paintball fun in Los Angeles.
While their Hollywood friends and coworkers dressed to the nines to attend the 2025 Academy Awards, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner opted for a much more casual and lowkey way to spend their time. The former couple were spotted at a paintball park instead, looking happy and relaxed.
Affleck and Garner were photographed laughing and chatting at a Los Angeles paintball park, holding paintball gear and sticking close to each other. At one point, X17Online observed them in full gear alongside their son, Samuel, and his friends, participating in his birthday festivities.
Neither Affleck nor Garner had any stakes in this yearâs Oscars, so itâs not that astonishing that they both decided to skip it. Samuel turned 13 on February 27, and the birthday party obviously occurred a few days later. With the partyâs date coincidentally falling on the same night as the Academy Awards, itâs unsurprising that their childâs birthday celebration would take priority.
While Affleck has been nominated for and won two Oscars, his appearances at the star-studded event have been spotty at best. He obviously came out for the 1997 ceremony when he won Best Original Screenplay for âGood Will Hunting,â and then in 2013, when his film âArgoâ won Best Picture. Heâs also shown up as a presenter several times, including at the memorable 2017 event when Jimmy Kimmel pranked him and Matt Damon as they presented the nominations for Best Original Screenplay.
Over the years, Jennifer Garner has received awards from the Peopleâs Choice, Screen Actors Guild, Online Film & Television Association, and Academy of Science Fiction, MTV Movie + TV Awards, Fantasy & Horror Films, most notably for her work on the hit series âAliasâ and as Elektra in âDaredevilâ and âElektra.â Unfortunately, she has not received any Oscar nominations, but that hasnât dissuaded her from getting glammed up for many awards ceremonies.
Even though family plans kept her busy, at least Garner was still thinking about the Oscars â specifically the 2018 Oscars. The actress posted a carousel of images on her Instagram with the caption âRevisiting a Favorite,â along with hearts. The photos captured Garner in a stunning blue dress with a built-in cape and flowing train. The post also showed that Garner can laugh at herself, as she included the video of herself that became a meme when the camera suddenly panned to her looking extremely unsettled, or as if sheâd just had an epiphany.
Rapper Doja Cat, who along with Lisa and Raye partook in an Oscars Bond tribute, addressed criticism of her rendition, admitting she was nervous.

SYDNEY (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs is part of a plan to "level the playing field" that he views as unfair, but the end result remains uncertain, Goldman Sachs chair and CEO David Solomon told a conference in Australia. "The president firmly believes that there are imbalances with respect to how trade exists, and he has a strong point of view that he wants to level the playing field aggressively," Solomon told the Australian Financial Review Business Summit in Sydney. Asked about a forecast shared at the same conference by investment giant Blackstone chair and CEO Stephen Schwarzman that the U.S. had no chance of experiencing a recession in 2025, Solomon said: "The chance of recession in 2025 is small but it's not zero."
