Ben Affleck admits he was 'reluctant' to take Batman role as he steps out in funky beanie with wife Jennifer Garner and a bespectacled Seraphina
|
Ben Affleck slipped on a funky grey beanie cap and brown sunglasses on Friday to take his wife Jennifer Garner and their adorable daughter Seraphina - who was sporting pink prescription glasses - to breakfast in LA.
The same day he admitted to 411Mania it took him a while to decide whether or not he dare step into a Bat suit to star in Batman Vs. Superman.
'Initially I was reluctant as I felt I didn't fit the traditional mold,' the Oscar winner said.
Breakfast club: Ben Affleck took wife Jennifer Garner and their four-year-old daughter Seraphina out to eat in Brentwood, California, on Friday morning
Cooling down: The family chose more cosy clothes for their morning trip
'Once [director] Zack [Snyder] showed me the concept, and that it would be both different from the great movies that Chris [Nolan] and Christian [Bale] made but still in keeping with tradition I was excited,' Ben, 41, added.
'Doing something different and new is always tricky and part of the thrill and the risk is that initially it confounds expectations.'
Batman Vs. Superman will reportedly start shooting early next year in Detroit, Michigan. Henry Cavill will play Superman, Amy Adams is set to star as Lois Lane and Diane Lane will step into the part of Martha Kent. The film will be released in 2015.
In living colour: Seraphina looked adorable in a pink hoodie over a violet T-shirt with a star logo, plus purple trousers, while her mum, 41, was casually dressed in blue jeans and a black, long-sleeved T-shirt
She can see clearly now: She's seen here with new pink prescription glasses
The Afflecks were spotted
walking to a cafe in Brentwood, California, without their two other
children, seven-year-old Violet, who was at school, and baby Samuel, who
is just 20 months old.
All three were dressed for the cooler autumn weather.
The Good Will Hunting actor appeared to be wearing two jackets, a dark padded one with a furry collar over a thinner coat, plus a black T-shirt and grey jeans. The star - who on Thursday revealed a toned chest while taking his oldest child shopping - had his new, super-ripped body completely hidden.
Jennifer, 41, pulled on a black, long-sleeved top, blue jeans and plaid ballerina shoes that looked more like bedroom slippers. Her long, auburn hair hung round her face and she, too, hid behind large sunglasses.
She seemed to be wearing not a spot of makeup.

Four-year-old Seraphina was definitely more colourfully clad than her mum and dad, rocking a purple T-shirt decorated with a large star, over purple trousers. She looked cosy in a pink-and-white striped zip-up hoodie.
After breakfast, the celebrity family walked back to their car clutching drinks.
The actor and director has been a devoted family man since marrying Dallas Buyers Club star Jennifer in 2005.
The pair starting dating after meeting on the set of Daredevil in 2003.
Ben often takes Violet to and from school and was spotted with his little girl at the Brentwood Country Market on Thursday.
The previous day the Argo star had to have his vintage car towed away. But he cheered himself up by taking his daughters for ice cream in the well-heeled Pacific Palisades area of Los Angeles.

Casual: The 41-year-old actress was dressed down in jeans and a dark grey knit sweater whereas her 7-year-old daughter donned a pair of pink sweatpants and a patriotic blue USA T-shirt
On-set: Whilst Jennifer Garner takes care of their children in Los Angeles Ben Affleck is busy filming in New York
Handsome: The 41-year-old actor looked dapper in jeans, shirt and a blazer as he filmed scenes for Gone Girl in Manhattan
Star attraction: Ben's appearance caused quite a stir with fans and he posed happily with a a NYC police officer who was clearly thrilled to have her picture taken with the handsome actor

Um seriously you are drawing attention to the fact that their little girl wears glasses, why is this relevant? Wearing glasses as a kid isn't great and you are making it part of the headline.
They always look unhappy together. Sad... Their kids are adorable - LittleXsu, Moscow, 26/10/2013 02:05 am Would you look happy when the paparazzi are swarming you, when your simply trying to enjoy a day out with you're family?
Great so that just means his commitment is going to be half-assed when his acting abilities were already horrible to begin with. Since he didn't actually want the role why not REFUSE?! What a liar. He will never be in Christian Bale league and if anything he is going to ruin the role with his manboobied budda bellied self.
When I see photos that include kids of celebrities or public figures, it's really on the verge of child endangerment. I can't imagine in this crazy world that my child's face would be plastered in the newspapers and websites. Someone says "they always look unhappy". I think I can understand why
Why are the DM publishing close ups of the kids? There are a lot of creeps out there.
