Ben Affleck has a new look!
The actor, 51, was spotted with a shaved faux-hawk hairstyle while out and about in Los Angeles, California, on Saturday, Aug. 3, as seen in photographs obtained exclusively by PEOPLE.
Affleck kept it casually cool in a dark color scheme, wearing a black jacket over a black Red Hot Chili Peppers T-shirt, which he paired with gray jeans.
The Oscar-winner accessorized his attire with a pair of black and silver aviators.
He was also captured riding around on a blue electric motorcycle during the daytime outing.

Affleck’s weekend outing comes about as he and wife Jennifer Lopez have been spending time on opposite coasts in recent weeks.
The Air star has spent most of the summer in Los Angeles, where he has been working on the upcoming sequel The Accountant 2 and enjoying time with his kids. (He shares Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with ex Jennifer Garner.)

Lopez, 55, meanwhile, has been spending time with friends and family in the Hamptons. She recently celebrated her birthday during a Bridgerton-themed party last month. Affleck was not in attendance for the festivities.
A source told PEOPLE in June that Affleck and Lopez didn’t “have any summer plans together” and were “focused on their separate lives.”

Affleck recently closed escrow on a five-bedroom property on Wednesday, July 24, PEOPLE previously confirmed.
The $20.5 million Los Angeles estate has a “sense of privacy and seclusion” and is “not trendy,” a source recently said.
“The environment is family-friendly, but it could easily be transformed into a bachelor pad,” the source continued, adding that Affleck’s new neighborhood, which is home to numerous other entertainment industry A-listers, “boasts a sophisticated crowd—it’s not trendy. Real establishment.”
Affleck and Lopez’s shared Beverly Hills mansion remains on the market with an asking price of $68 million. The couple initially shopped the house off market in June, before publicly listing it in July, amid reports of ongoing strain in their marriage.
The couple bought the property for $60,850,000 in May 2023 after they wed in July 2022.
