Ben Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner had their hands full while out and about in Los Angeles on Sunday (November 29).
While Jen was busy running errands in Beverly Hills, doting dad Ben could be seen taking their daughter Violet to a play across town in Santa Monica, CA with grandma Chris Affleck.
Meanwhile, Blake Lively is opening up about how she had to had to fight for her role in new Ben’s movie The Town – because casting directors were convinced she was too young for the part!
The 22-year-old Gossip Girl actress was apparently turned away when she first expressed interest in playing mother-of-one Krista Coughlin in the upcoming crime drama. But she refused to give up hope and jumped on a train to Boston, MA to seek out Ben, who stars in and directs the film, to audition for him personally.
Her tactics worked — and scriptwriters were forced to rework the screenplay to suit Miss Lively.
She tells Us Weekly, “My part was supposed to be a 37 year old. I was like, ‘I have to play this.’ And they’re like, ‘No, you’re not 37.’ I took a train to Boston and auditioned for Ben and fought for the role, and he gave me the job on the spot. They rewrote it so I’m 29.”

Poor Jen looks 20 years older and anorexic, which brings out her worst features.
