Ben Affleck Protects Jennifer Lopez From Physically Aggressive Fan

Ben Affleck was pictured confronting a fan who became overly physical in his attempts to take a photo with Jennifer Lopez.

The incident reportedly occurred on Saturday as the newly public couple walked through Marco Polo Airport in Venice, Italy.

A man appeared to swoop in on the pair as they passed by, appearing to notice a brief gap in their security.

He quickly attempted to raise his phone to steal a selfi with a visibly alarmed Lopez, but Affleck didn’t hesitate to place a hand on the man’s chest to push him away.

One of the couple’s bodyguards quickly intervened to physically restrain the man as Affleck led Lopez away, hand-in-hand.

The couple were in Italy to attend the annual Venice Film Festival, where Affleck’s new feature, ‘The Last Duel‘, was making its debut. Affleck co-wrote the new film with his long-time friend, Matt Damon.

The pair also star in the feature, directed by Ridley Scott, alongside Adam Driver and Jodie Comer.

‘The Last Duel‘ is due for release on October 15.
