UPDATE: Ben Affleck Tries a New Do

Ben Affleck's new hairGSI Media

He’s a doting dad, a husband and a successful producer, but Ben Affleck is showing he can still be young and hip despite his mature demeanor. The actor traded in his signature dad look for some longer, flat-ironed locks — but his rep tells PEOPLE that the change is for his role in the new movie Argo. But Affleck is figuring out how to work the look in real life, pairing the hipster-esque hair with a striped shirt, cotton trousers and trainers while out in Santa Monica over the weekend. He’s not the first male star to try straight, long locks: Zac Efron is know for this slicked-down look; Pete Wentz once dabbled in the straight hair trend; and let’s not forget Justin Bieber, the godfather of flat-ironed hair. Since the change is just temporary for Affleck, maybe we’ll see him return to the more tousled style he worked earlier this month. Regardless, we wonder what wife Jennifer Garner thinks about his new look! Tell us: What do you think of Affleck’s new do?Kim Peiffer

Gah! Do any of you people actually READ the article before commenting? Its not a “midlife crisis” or a “toupee” people!!! Its for a movie role, and I’m sure it won’t be permanent! Sheesh, you people must be the types that won’t read a book without pictures in it!

I don’t think it looks all that bad..Just takes a minute to get use to it..I do agree with a lot of what otehrs have said though, it’s for a movie..Can’t believe that so many have a hard time knowing what they read..

Looks good but not too much like himself, I like him the other way! But, Ben is always handsome … no matter or how he wears his hair!
