Ben Affleck found himself in a predicament during the scorching heat wave that gripped the nation as revealed by TMZ. Cruising through the streets of Brentwood, CA, with his son Samuel in his beloved 1969 Cadillac DeVille, the classic car suddenly started overheating. The soaring temperatures, reaching around 90 degrees, took a toll on the vehicle, causing smoke to billow from under the hood.
Being quick on his feet, Ben pulled over and decided to take matters into his own hands. Popping open the hood, he assessed the situation and deduced that the car needed coolant to cool down the engine. Determined to get his car back on track, he embarked on a mission to find the nearest gas station.
As Ben sought coolant for his car, a passerby came to his aid, offering assistance with the radiator. While trying to fix the issue, Ben didn’t miss the opportunity to connect with a fan who approached him for a selfie.
This isn’t the first time Ben has faced car troubles with his son. In the past, during a car browsing expedition in Beverly Hills, Samuel accidentally backed a Lamborghini into a BMW. Additionally, there was the infamous incident at a Starbucks drive-thru where Ben misjudged the clearance, leading to a minor collision with a sign, with none other than his then-partner Jennifer Lopez riding shotgun.
Speaking of J Lo, she had her own unfortunate experience on the same day when she got locked out of a gym. Clearly more annoyed than Ben, she expressed her frustration to the photographers.
It seems that even celebrities like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez aren’t immune to everyday mishaps and car troubles. Despite their fame and success, they face the same challenges as the rest of us during extreme weather conditions and routine activities.
