Ben Affleck seeks inspiration from Brad Pitt for love life

Ben Affleck seemingly aims to follow in the footsteps of fellow co-star Brad Pitt- but not in the way you’d expect.

The actor, who split from Jennifer Lopez in 2025, seemingly wishes to snag one of Pitt’s ex-lovers after sources allege his secret crush on the Mr. and Mrs. Smith actor’s co-star.

The 52-year-old has his eyes set on Angelina Jolie, after her divorce from the Fight Club actor was finalised in December of last year.

“Ben said that he always thought that she was very hot and has admired how she has navigated her career, he has called her smart,” sources allege to Daily Mail.

Affleck and his secret infatuation would, “certainly have a lot to talk about over dinner,” which refers to the striking similarities between the two.

Jolie and Affleck are both parents, in the same age group and have both branched out from solely acting to directing projects as well.

The two iconic actors would also make a Hollywood power couple as both Affleck and Jolie have won Oscars, for Good Will Hunting and Girl, Interrupted respectively.

However, if the stars ever decide to align, the Daredevil actor would then have two romantic interests in common with Jolie’s 61-year-old ex-husband.

Ben had dated the Iron Man star, Gweynth Paltrow, from 1994 till 1997 before Pitt swooped her off her feet the same year.
