Chastising a man for apparently blinding him while driving his car, Affleck was visibly spotted pointing out to the photographer how his action could possibly injure someone. Ben had no plans of hearing out the other side of the explanation and walked away after speaking his mind.

On his way back, he addresses other photographers gathered at the location. Reiterating the dangerous extent of the safety issue, he appeared to inform them his daughter was also on her way down the hill. If they continued firing away their flashes, it could essentially result in a scary aftermath for her.

"I can’t see. You’re going to get somebody hurt doing this s**t. 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?” warned the famed director.

Beknownst to Affleck, fans have persistently smirked at memes insinuating that the Air star is always “mad” at someone. He recently directly addressed rumours surrounding his marriage with JLo and such claims. “I don’t like a lot of attention. This is why people see me and they’re like, ‘Why is this dude always mad?’ Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I’m like, ‘OK, here we go,” the former Batman said.

Ben and Jen are reportedly living on separate turfs, with the former staying at a rental in Brentwood. More reports flooded the web earlier, stating the embattled pair are trying to sell their lavish $60 million estate.
