Daddy's No. 1 fan! Ben Affleck's 18-month-old son Samuel showed his support for his old man's latest role as Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel wordlessly, with a bold fashion statement, on Sunday, Sept. 15. The tiny tot strolled through a farmer's market in Los Angeles with mom Jennifer Garner wearing a blue Batman T-shirt, comfy navy sweatpants and grey-and-green sneakers.
The youngest of the Affleck clan looked carefree and unhurried as he carried around a baggie of snacks while Garner, 41, kept a close eye on his tottering steps. Older sister Violet, 7, was also on-hand for the afternoon outing.
Samuel is only the latest of the Affleck brood to make a statement of support about the Runner, Runner star's new role — earlier this month, Garner told MTV News that she's "excited" for his new project.
"You know, I was excited for him," the Dallas Buyers Club actress told the outlet during the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 8. "I was excited because he had a real take on what he wanted to do."
"I have to say, my husband is a pretty great storyteller himself, and I'm excited to watch him do it," she added.
Thank You!
