Ben Affleck went for a stroll with his 12-year-old son, Samuel, and their dog in their Los Angeles neighborhood of Brentwood Saturday as wildfires continue to devastate the region.
The “Good Will Hunting” actor appeared annoyed at the sight of photographers following a tough week in the area, which included a visit from the Federal Investigations Bureau and local law enforcement.
Affleck, 52 wore black trousers, a navy blue and tan cardigan, and beige bomber jacket for the casual stroll. Samuel, meanwhile, dressed comfortably in plaid pajama pants and a plain gray hoodie.
The father-son duo were accompanied by which TMZ reported is from Trident Elite Protection Dogs, which is an organization that focuses on the safety and security of families and individuals.
Affleck has seemingly upped his security after the FBI knocking on his door last Sunday to discuss unauthorized drone activity in the area.
A source previously told Page Six the agency’s Ground Intercept task force contacted the “Argo” director check his CCTV footage after a private drone damaged a super scooper that was fighting the wildfires.
Page Six then learned the following Tuesday that local police were patrolling the neighborhood as well after neighbors hired private security that were preventing some residents from accessing their homes.
In photos obtained by Page Six, Affleck seemed to have a heated conversation with two officer stationed outside his property. Our insider confirmed the conversation was about a private security “situation.”
The “Pearl Harbor” star was photographed at the time leaning out of his BMW car and using his hands to assist him with getting his point across.
On Thursday evening, a massive military vehicle was then spotted outside of Affleck’s home.
A source confirmed to Page Six the truck belonged to the National Guard and that it was stationed outside of evacuation points but had “nothing to do with Ben.”
Earlier this month, Affleck briefly left his $20 million rental home due to evacuation orders and stayed at his ex-wife Jennifer Garner’s residence.
However, the “Air” star was able to return home by Jan. 8 because the property was considered “safe.”
