Ben Affleck is clearly fed up with paparazzi who follow his every move. The actor was recently captured on video scolding a group of photographers who were waiting at the bottom of the driveway of his and Jennifer Lopez’s Beverly Hills home.

In a video posted by TMZ, Affleck is seen leaving the mansion in a vehicle by himself when he was greeted by paparazzi, who flashed their cameras at him. Affleck then exited his BMW and approached one man, who he gave a stern talking to.

“Don’t flash your lights with somebody driving down the driveway. Don’t do that, that’s dangerous,” the actor told the man.

As he returned to his car, other reporters continued taking photos with the flash on, prompting Affleck to say, “Stop, man. It’s dangerous what you guys are doing. Do you understand? I can’t see. You’re gonna get somebody hurt doing this shit.”

He continued, “My daughter’s coming down here. If you flash the lights on her, you’re putting her in danger, you understand that?”

According to the outlet, J Lo wasn’t at the family home, but instead, has been abroad in France and Italy. The married couple have been living apart for some time now, with Affleck renting a place in Brentwood. The singer recently announced that she was canceling her This is Me…Live Tour to spend time with her children, family, and friends.
