Ben Affleck juggles dad duties as clean-shaven star takes a call while picking son Sam up from swimming practice

He’s back on the West Coast after reconnecting with his Boston-roots while filming George Clooney‘s The Tender Bar on location in Massachusetts.

And Ben Affleck looked like quite the busy dad as he got back to business running family errands around Santa Monica on Friday.

The Academy Award-winning actor/director, 48, multitasked while picking up son Sam, nine, from swimming practice at the local pool, taking a phone call while whisking his youngest off to the car.

Ben was fresh-faced, sporting a clean jawline and slicked back hair during the trip.

Never to fussy about fashion, the Argo talent donned one of his favorite tee shirts: a faded blue top with a lightning bolt across the front.

He grabbed Sam’s backpack while his only boy followed behind wearing a blue wetsuit, fleecy jacket and disposable face mask. 

It looked like it was just a father/son adventure on Friday, as Ben’s two daughters Violet, 15, and Seraphina, 12, were both absent from the outing.

‘She broke it off,’ an insider told People at the time of the split. ‘Their relationship was complicated. Ana doesn’t want to be Los Angeles based and Ben obviously has to since his kids live in Los Angeles.’
