Ben Affleck Shares His Kids Are Now Working – You Won’t Believe What They’re Doing!

by

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s kids are kickstarting their own careers.

Indeed, the actor from “Good Will Hunting” disclosed that Violet (age 19), Seraphina (age 16), and Samuel (age 13) are already putting in effort to make their own income.

During his interview on “Today with Jenna & Friends” on April 22nd, Affleck shared that his eldest pair are employed. Interestingly, the youngest has recently secured a job, similar to a typical teenager working at a retail store (I won’t disclose the specific place). As for my older child, they’re in college and are seeking an internship for the summer to gain some practical experience.

Currently, his youngest child is discovering the necessity of effort as he aims to finance his recent fascination, a topic that gained popularity earlier this year.

The 52-year-old said that Samuel desired those expensive sneakers. He questioned, ‘Those sneakers cost $6,000! What on earth are you discussing? How can you afford that much money when you’re just mowing lawns?’

In a playful manner, Affleck teased his son when the teenager resisted by saying, “I actually do have the funds! You’re the one who’s short on cash.

He intends to instill the mindset he values in his children, similar to the approach taken by the actor in “Batman v. Superman.” While he desires to provide them with all opportunities and experiences, he believes it would be a mistake not to establish limits, as he stresses that they should learn to work for what they have.

In simpler terms, Affleck said, “My thirteen-year-old is learning about the world as it stands now. He’s seeing there are no luxury shoes in his closet, but he does have regular ones. I told him, ‘If you desire those expensive shoes, you need to work for 1,000 hours.’ That’s like a full-time job at minimum wage. And when you’ve worked that much, you might find you don’t want to spend that on a pair of sneakers.

Fun fact, it seems like the director of Argo might’ve hit the nail on the head when he mentioned those shoes weren’t as captivating to a 13-year-old like me. It didn’t take long before they started losing their charm!

Affleck humorously commented to Access Hollywood last month, “That’s the result when you ask someone to mow the lawn.” Suddenly, they don’t want those expensive shoes anymore. He said, “But I always told you they were tough,” to which Affleck replied, “You don’t need $1,000 shoes, my friend.

Apart from grasping the principles of capitalism, Samuel has more recently appreciated just how truly remarkable his father’s occupation is.

The Academy Award-winning individual shared that his son admires everyone, yet is surprised I seem to know some ‘cool’ individuals he thinks should appreciate hanging out with me. He exclaimed, “Why are these people friends with my dad?” However, I find myself managing this situation quite satisfactorily. (Source: TopMob News at the Accountant 2 premiere)

He viewed it and exclaimed, “Dad, I believe this could be my top pick among your movies,” showing great admiration. Such compliments are not given lightly by your offspring.

Lifeguard on duty!

During his off-time from fighting supernatural creatures in the Upside Down on Stranger Things, this star dedicates himself to helping others in another capacity. In a 2022 interview with Flaunt magazine, the actor disclosed that he works part-time as a lifeguard at his local swimming pool during the summer months.

In my perspective, I view this endeavor as a casual pastime, more like a fun escape from the ordinary. Growing up amidst the typical routines and companionship of everyday life, apart from the Stranger Things universe, has helped me maintain a sense of balance and reality.

During the late ’90s and early ’00s, von Detten became popular among teenagers due to his performances in movies like “Escape to Witch Mountain,” “Brink!”, and “The Princess Diaries”. However, after his last acting role in 2010 (which was a voiceover for “Toy Story 3”), von Detten’s career path shifted, leading him into the financial sector.

In his uncommon interview with TopMob in 2021, von Detten shared that as acting opportunities became scarce in my early twenties, a new path opened up for me with a financial company I joined at age 25. Since then, I’ve stayed with this organization and it has turned into a sales role within the finance sector. Over time, I advanced to a management position, and it has proven to be a successful journey for me.

He expressed, “I’d be delighted if you chose to work with me, as I take pride in my skills and abilities. It’s an added bonus if I’m known as ‘that guy,’ but it’s not the reason for our collaboration.” He shared that clients have often been surprised to discover his identity during home showings, only to exclaim, “We can’t believe it!” However, he finds this validation rewarding because he understands it’s not the recognition that drives their decision to work with him.
