Ben Affleck is ‘working on writing his next movie’ as he hunkers down amid the COVID-19 pandemic

He’s an Academy Award-winning actor with a host of credits under his name.

And Ben Affleck is ‘working on writing his next movie’ amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, according to Us Weekly.

The 48-year-old actor has been laying low recently at home in Los Angeles as he focuses on creating his next big picture.

Sources told the publication that ‘Ben’s been quiet lately’ after returning home from filming reshoots of Deep Water in New Orleans. 

‘He’s been working on writing his next movie since October, so he’s hunkered down on that, which explains the coffee,’ an insider revealed.

Affleck was recently spotted juggling a slew of Dunkin Donuts takeaway, a relatable moment which sparked a meme frenzy online. 

‘I relate to ben affleck in that i also refuse to go to the door twice and instead dangerously carry everything at one time risking dropping it at all but saving myself a trip,’ Twitter user @kosherhotdogz wrote online.

‘At this point it almost seems like Ben Affleck is better known for appearing publicly flustered and enjoying Dunkin’ coffee than he is for his career in entertainment, and honestly, I relate,’ Josh Gondelman tweeted. 

When it comes to his romance with Ana de Armas, the couple appear to be happy together back home on the West Coast. 

‘They are doing good,’ a source told US in November. ‘They are focused on Ben’s kids, work, making time for dates and just enjoying each other.’

Affleck shares co-parenting responsibilities of his three children with his ex wife Jennifer Garner. 

Ben and Jen called it quits on their relationship in 2015 after almost 10 years of marriage, and their divorce was finalized in 2018.
