He’s spent the past few days out and about ignoring panic with his family and new girlfriend, Ana de Armas.

But Ben Affleck proved on Sunday that he was taking coronavirus concerns very seriously and thinking about everyone who was suffering.

The 47-year-old took to social media to promote Feeding America and their work in providing food for children at this time.

‘During these times of uncertainty, I’m thinking about our most vulnerable populations – children who are losing access to meals they rely on, our friends and family who are facing job disruptions, the elderly, and low-income families,’ he began.

Ben went on to promote the work that the food bank does for people in need and encouraged his 4 million followers to lend their support and donate to the cause.

‘Join me in supporting @FeedingAmerica, the nationwide network of 200 food banks working tirelessly to feed our neighbors around the country,’ he added.

The Batman actor has been connected to the charitable organization since 2007.

Ben himself has also been affected by the coronavirus shutdowns, with production of his upcoming film, Hypnotic, being delayed.

The ex-husband of Jennifer Garner was due to begin filming at the end of April in Los Angeles, but production company, Solstice Studios, have now pushed it back.

‘We will be taking a temporary hiatus to take necessary precautions to ensure the health of our cast and crew,’ a rep revealed in a statement.

And with some extra time on his hands, Ben has been spending his days with new love and former Deep Water co-star, Ana de Armas.

The pair were recently spotted on a romantic vacation away together in Cuba and are still going strong.
