Ben Affleck is back in the headlines after a recent cover story for GQ, but he’s trending for reasons other than his messy relationships with Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Garner.
The actor’s recent photoshoot for GQ‘s April issue is currently going viral after fans couldn’t help but notice how much he looks like Hunter Biden, son of former President Joe Biden, in his pictures. Ben’s interview with the magazine goes more in-depth on how he feels about being the center of tabloid news, getting followed by paparazzi, and how strong his relationship is with the mother of his children. Still, one of the most standout aspects of his cover story seems to be his resemblance to Hunter. Read more about the viral comparison below.
Ben Affleck Poses For GQ Magazine's April Issue
As the cover star for the famous men's magazine, Ben was photographed in several outfits, including sleek suits and sweaters. He posed in retro-looking settings, including in a chic lounge and beside a vintage convertible while donning old-school sunglasses and glasses with thick frames.
During his interview, the Gone Girl star spoke about his life, calling it a "soap opera," before getting into more detail about where he stands with co-parent Jennifer, calling her his "partner" and stating that they "work together well."
He also touched on his recent divorce from on-again-off-again girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, mentioning that he's more "reserved and private" than her but loved and supported her during her latest projects.
While his interview was quite interesting and gave fans more information on the mysterious actor, some people on the internet couldn't get over one thing: how much he looked like Hunter Biden in his photos.
The Internet Compares Ben To Hunter In His 'Strange' GQ Photos
This isn't the first time the Oscar winner and the attorney have been told they have some resemblance, but the magazine's new photos are stirring up the comparisons again.
A tweet from an X user named Victoria had people on the internet looking closer at Ben's new high-quality pictures, writing, "When did Ben Affleck turn into Hunter Biden?"
"This is weird," she continued. "Strange pic for sure."
The post has over 28,000 views, and others on the platform decided to chime in on how they felt about the look-alikes.
"Ben Affleck [is] channeling some Hunter Biden," wrote an X user.
"If there's ever a Hunter Biden biopic, we need Ben Affleck to step up to the plate," added another. "They're both tortured and handsome."
Another fan on Instagram had a similar thought, as when the photos were posted to GQ's Instagram page, one fan commented, "Is this for a Hunter Biden biopic?"
"I'd watch it," they added.
Before being compared to the Good Will Hunting writer, Hunter was previously in headlines for being found guilty of illegal possession of a firearm and lying about drug use. So, the former President's son may appreciate the simple internet fun. While Ben still has yet to comment on his next potential biopic role, fans online will continue to wait for him to speak up.
