The ultimate family man! Ben Affleck tenderly puts his arm around wife

He always has a packed schedule as an award winning actor and director.
But Ben Affleck looked happy to be playing the family man in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
And the Gigli star took to the role with ease, putting one arm around wife Jennifer Garner's shoulder while holding four-year-old daughter Seraphina in the other as they padded around posh Pacific Palisades.

The 40-year-old looked rather dapper in a woolen jacket, black jeans, smart shoes and an Andy Capp-style hat.
Quite how the Pearl Harbor favourite managed to go walkabout in such a warm ensemble on a sunny California day is anyone's guess.
Jennifer recently leapt to the defense of her husband's Oscars acceptance speech, which raised eyebrows for suggesting their marriage was hard work.
He said: 'I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It’s good. It is work but the best kind of work and there’s no one I’d rather work with,'
And after some suggested it hinted at trouble at home, she revealed she took it in good spirit.

Low key: Clever Jennifer went for a more utilitarian look so she could tackle her motherly duties with ease

Bad idea: If Ben thought the well worn sunglasses and cap celebrity disguise would work he was mistaken

She said: 'I know Ben, I knew he meant it as the hugest, warmest compliment in the world.'
The Alias favourite said she took his remarks as meaning 'what we have is really real and I value it above all.'
Jennifer was wearing a more low-key ensemble of blue pullover, jeans and flat sandals.
And it was obvious later why the busy mother-of-three had went for a more utilitarian outfit.
For she was later spotted padding the streets with her eldest daughter Violet in the trendy Santa Monica area.
And she certainly had her hands full with the seven-year-old, as she charged around while holding a cute parasol.
