Ben Affleck's Priceless Reaction to Son Samuel's Sneaker Wishlist at Convention
Ben Affleck recently had a relatable parental moment while out with his son. At a sneaker convention, Samuel's attention was drawn to a pair of sensational $6,000 Dior Air Force 1s. When Affleck realized the expensive price of the sneakers, his reaction was comedic and priceless, PEOPLE reported.
"That's a lot of lawns you gotta mow there," he quipped, humorously noting that Samuel likely admired the sneakers because of their steep cost. Samuel, however, countered his father’s joke, explaining, "No, they're tough! I always said they look good."
In addition to handling sneaker conventions, the duo has shared enjoyable outings, including a recent basketball game. Ben Affleck was seen with Samuel at the match between the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves on February 27, 2025. The actor dressed casually, sporting a gray coat and dark jeans.
Samuel replicated his father's style, wearing a black Lakers sweatshirt with gray sweatpants. This moment reflected their close bond, with both father and son sharing a similar smolder while posing for the camera.
In an April 2023 episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show," Affleck reflected on balancing precious moments with his children. He appreciated both the joyful memories and the illusions of innocence with commentaries on how they shift as kids grow.
When asked about moments he wished to relive, he said, "There are so many things," citing the births of his children as significant highlights. "These beautiful children who are innocent," he continued. He humorously recognized the transitions of childhood, noting how quickly those experiences seem to pass.
As they grow, Affleck's recognition of these fleeting times has led him to treasure smaller snapshots of everyday life with his kids.
