Ben Affleck has been seen for the first time since Britney Spears‘s shock claim the pair once ‘made out’ with each other.
Ben in ‘Low-key’ Mode
The actor, 51, looked downcast as he stepped out with his son Samuel, 10, in Los Angeles on Wednesday mere hours after Britney made the claims in a now-deleted Instagram post.
Ben kept it low-key as he headed out, sporting baggy jeans, a cream sweater, a plaid shirt jacket and multi-coloured trainers.
Pop sensation Britney, 42, claimed she ‘honestly forgot’ about the tryst – which she revealed while sharing a throwback snap ‘taken years ago’ of herself, Ben and songwriter Diane Warren.
In the Instagram caption, Britney – who also detailed having a fling with Colin Farrell in her memoir – claimed the kissing happened the night the photo was taken.
Britney ‘Gossips’ Ben
Cool pic of me and Ben Affleck and Diane Warren years ago!!!’ she posted to Instagram. ‘He’s such an amazing actor. Did I fail to mention I made out with Ben that night … I honestly forgot … damn that’s crazy !!! Wish I could tell you guys the story that happened before that !!! Oh dear, I’m just being a gossip girl. Psss I actually forgot!’
It’s unclear when the photo was taken but Ben sported an identical goatee in 1999. That year he turned 27 in August and Britney turned 18 in December.
