She walked in with a white belt, and out with an orange one. Little Violet Affleck was accompanied by proud mom and dad, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, to Karate class in Brentwood, CA on Friday (October 26).
The "Argo" star wore a blue plaid shirt and jeans, while holding his 6-year-old daughter's hand, who proudly carried her certificate of honor. Her "Alias" momma wore a Pink top and gray highwater pants, as she opened a juice box for her other little martial artist, Seraphina Affleck.
On Wednesday, the 40-year-old actor reunited with pal Matt Damon for a business meeting. The two are collaborating on another film, which will star Matt and Ben's brother Casey Affleck, while Ben directs.
The upcoming movie will follow the story of New England's most notorious gangster, James "Whitey" Bulger.

After a highly successful weekend at the box office, Ben Affleck brought ?Argo? to the 56th BFI London Film Festival at the Odeon Leicester Square on Wednesday (October 17).
While at the London event, the 40-year-old actor/director stood alongside co-stars John Goodman and Bryan for the overseas premiere.
The film, which is currently playing in theaters, is officially described as follows: ?As the Iranian revolution reaches a boiling point, a CIA 'exfiltration' specialist concocts a risky plan to free six Americans who have found shelter at the home of the Canadian ambassador.?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were in Paris yesterday for the French premiere of Argo. (Only one of our agencies had those premiere photos and they were exclusive so we can’t use them, but the two of them were there. They did pose together inside the venue, but not outside.) In case you’re wondering how these two roll, The Daily Mail has photos of them getting into a private jet on Sunday. They left the kids at home to take this quick romantic jaunt together.
Yesterday these two were seen out shopping at exclusive boutiques like Chanel. They’re very much a show of togetherness despite their unwillingness to pose together on a red carpet. Look at how much Garner steps up her style when she’s in Europe supporting her husband. She’s wearing Louboutin pumps, smart tailored trousers, and a stylish fuzzy striped cardigan with a jaunty scarf. I would love to have that sweater! This was a well planned look, and she’s game for this outing with her husband. They even posed with fans.
Later, Ben took his wife out to a restaurant called La Fontaine de Mars. She’s wearing platform pumps, a very sexy black miniskirt paired with a blazer and another gray scarf. This woman is stunning when she puts forth a little effort. In this close up shot below, I get the impression that she’s had a little Botox too, but it’s perfect. Give me what she’s having.
Of course this is all about Argo and Ben’s Oscar campaign. It was second at the box office this opening weekend to Taken 2, which was in its second week. It’s not just about the numbers, which were solid. Ben is likely to get nominated in both the Best Picture and Director categories, and he’s campaigning hard. Part of that involves perhaps inadvertently revealing his lackluster feelings toward his wife, but he’s reigning it in and doing couple-y photo ops with Garner. I’m actually rooting for him and for the two of them as a couple. I like this family and I think Ben is a talented guy. He makes great movies, and he’s busted his ass for this comeback. I want to see him take home another Oscar. Do you remember his Oscar acceptance speech with Matt Damon in 1998? I just watched it again, and it made me so happy. He’ll be much more polished this time. Where is Matt’s follow-up Oscar?

While out for a weekend trip to Barnes & Noble with his girls, Ben Affleck ended up getting into a minor car accident after side swiping a vehicle in Santa Monica, CA on Saturday (October 6).
According to recent reports, the "Argo" actor accidentally ran into a parked Honda Civic and knocked off their left side mirror.
Being the good samaritan that he is, Ben left a note and his contact information on the windshield, on which he penned, "Hi, knocked off your mirror! Very sorry! Will cover everything?Ben."
Aside from the quick afternoon mishap, Affleck and his daughters, Seraphina and Violet, still enjoyed a day at the bookstore followed by a quick trip to McDonald's to grab some grub.

Ben Affleck was interviewed by Access Hollywood to promote Argo, a film about the true story of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis. (He’s interviewed in two parts, videos are here and here and also below.) It’s out October 12. I’m actually getting excited for the film and hope it earns him at least an Oscar nod for directing. So far it has an impressive 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. On Access, Ben said a few things we’ve heard before about how he feels like he’s come a long way in his career and personal life in the past 10 years. I find him to be sincere, charming and genuine, but I know a lot of you disagree.
Let’s discuss Ben’s reaction to his wife Jennifer Garner’s statement that he has “wonder sperm.” In case you missed it, Garner told Ellen Degeneres that she considered herself done with having children, with the caveat that “my husband is kind of a wonder sperm kind of guy. You never know. You just have [to] look at him” The Access Hollywood interviewer, Shaun Robinson, asked Ben what he thought about this, and then made the hilarious move of then staring at him pointedly as if he could get her pregnant on the spot. It was funny!
Ben got flustered and said “I like the role reversal now. It’s usually me that says the like outrageous thing. They ask her the thing and she has to justify it. Is that what she said, really? That’s something. I’m going to put that on the poster for Argo” He looked kind of embarrassed at that point. Jenn must not have given him a heads up or anything!
On whether he wanted more kids, Ben hinted that he did (which Jennifer has also said before) but that it was up to her. “I think being a good husband means that you’re not the boss. We’re very very happy with it.”
In the second part of his interview with Access Hollywood, Ben discusses Argo and you can tell he freaking loved making that movie. He gets all excited discussing it and praises the scriptwriter especially. Ben revealed how George Clooney, his co-producer, brought him the script and joked “He and his partner, Grant – and I mean his producing partner not his life partner although sometimes I don’t know with those two – he and Grant sent the script and said ‘Hey you want to do it?’… next thing I knew it was off and running.”
Ben got rolling at that point talking about 70s hair and clothing, and said he was going for an Andy Gibb vibe. Scroll to 2:50 in this video to see him unbutton his shirt a little. Take it off Ben!

It's not all about work for this Hollywood power couple. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner took all three of their adorable children for a play date in Santa Monica, CA on Saturday (August 11).
The family kept it casual as the ?Good Will Hunting? actor watched over his two little girls, Seraphina and Violet, while the 40-year-old mother toted the youngest of the brood, Samuel, as they all headed into a friend?s house.
Although their beautiful family continues to grow, it appears the 39-year-old actor wants to add another baby to the mix.
At last week?s premiere for ?The Odd Life of Timothy Green? the beautiful mom of three told Extra that the rumors are true, explaining, ?The fact that Ben wants another (kid) is true? I can tell you that would be a pretty uphill battle with me. I am not anticipating having any more kids!?

Working on their latest film, Justin Timberlake was seen chatting with Ben Affleck on a basketball court's sideline while filming their new movie "Runner, Runner" in Puerto Rico today (July 23).
The "Good Will Hunting" actor and writer sported a red and yellow "Jaco" uniform with black tennis shoes while the "Social Network" star worked the sidelines in a striped button-down dress shirt and dark pants.
The movie stars Timberlake as a man who loses his college tuition cash by playing online poker. He travels to the poker site's home Costa Rica in order to win back his money from site owner, played by Affleck.
Every leading man needs a leading lady and 26-year-old British actress Gemma Arterton will fill the role in this film. "Runner, Runner" is scheduled for release sometime in 2013.

Proving recent rumors wrong, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted leaving a Santa Monica, CA office building on Tuesday (July 3).
The Hollywood couple looked happy on their way out as they were seen walking side-by-side and after a seemingly successful business meeting.
In other news, it looks like the 39-year-old actor is using his celebrity status to bring awareness to another positive initiative. According to a recent report put out by Huffington Post, "The Town" actor and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are teaming up to fight childhood mortality throughout the world.
In June, the pair combined forces at a child survival conference at Georgetown University where they spoke about the growing issue. At the event, Affleck said, "We wouldn't abide it in this country ... and we must not abide it in the world globally with our brothers and sisters."
As of right now, Clinton confirmed that there are 60 organizations in 40 countries that are promotion breastfeeding, vaccines and health care in an effort to lower these astounding rates.

Here are some new photos of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner in Santa Monica yesterday. As he was during Jennifer?s last pregnancy, Ben continues to be uncharacteristically affectionate and warm towards his wife. It really does seem ? visually, at least ? that Jen and Ben are stronger than ever. I do think they had a ?rough spot? for a few years ? especially when Ben was working on The Town with Blake Lively, right? Whatever went down (something!), Jennifer seems to have fought for her marriage and they made it through. And now they?re even stronger. Because looking at couples like Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? don?t you just see how Ben and Jen could beat the odds and actually make this thing work for decades to come?
Of course, I have an alternate theory: Ben is simply overjoyed to finally have a son. For years, it was widely reported that (unlike Matt Damon) Ben really, really wanted a boy. And now he has one. So Ben is no longer acting like such a grumpy bitch. So you?d think that now Ben has his boy, he and Jennifer would say ?no more kids? right? Not so much, according to Us Weekly:
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner are beating the seven-year-itch.
?The marriage is rock-solid,? says a Garner pal. The duo taosted their anniversary June 29, and the actress, 40, will soon join Affleck, 39, in Puerto Rico, where he?ll film Runner, Runner.
Meanwhile, their third child, Samual, arrived in February and they?re debating having another.
?Jen is happy with three now that she has a boy,? says the pal. ?Ben wants four.?
[From Us Weekly, print edition]
When she was pregnant this last time, I seem to remember Jennifer saying that this was the last time she was doing it. Maybe she didn?t come right out and use those words, but that was definitely the impression I had. So? I could see her being all ?Seriously, we have three healthy children. Enough.? And Ben being like, ?But we could have one more!! Maybe another boy!!? It?s cute. But I?m betting that Jennifer is kind of over it (pregnancy) at this point.
