Fans of Ben Affleck are all making the exact same point about his reaction to his teenage son wanting $6,000 shoes.

The 52-year-old Good Will Hunting star, who shares three children Violet Anne, 19, Seraphina Rose, 16, and Samuel, 13 with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner, has recently received a whole lot of praise after one video of him and his youngest went viral on TikTok.

The clip in question, uploaded by sneaker event page Got Sole, shows the father-son duo walk through the stalls as they browsed the ultra-rare trainers on offer.

Affleck, whose net worth is reportedly a staggering $150 million according to Celebrity Net Worth, can be seen following Samuel around a pair of Dior Air Force 1's, which are estimated to cost around $6,000, catch his eye.

Someone else in the video then joked about how the Hollywood A-lister was most likely not too chuffed with the prospect of forking out a small fortune on the shoes - to which he responded: "That's a lot of lawns you gotta mow there!"

He also quipped that his son was only into the trainers 'because they're expensive', prompting Samuel to insist that wasn't the case: "No, they're tough! I've always said they look good!"

Needless to say, the clip has gone down very well on social media with many rushing in to praise the dad-of-three for his handling on the situ.

One TikTok user penned: "Ben worth hundreds of millions and said no. Make him earn it good dad!"

"Their kids don't act entitled," commented a second, while a third chimed in: "Gotta give props to ben man. He raised his kid well!"

A fourth praised: "Good parenting. even though you’re rich don’t buy your kid $5,000 sneakers."


"I love how he’s like nope that’s a lot of money. A lot of lawns to mow. Good stuff," echoed a fifth, while a sixth congratulated: "Seems like a good dad, props."

Another agreed: "That’s a good dad move there Ben."

And a final TikTok user gushed: "Ben is a great dad. For children to know that things are earned is so important, not handed to you."

Affleck and Garner tied the knot back in 2005 and welcomed their three children together before eventually calling it quits and divorcing a decade later in 2015.

The pair seemingly have a good relationship despite the split as they have been regularly spotted co-parenting together.
