During the Palisades fire earlier this year, the FBI paid a visit to Ben Affleck’s residence in Los Angeles. However, the actor was not present at home when agents were photographed outside. Affleck later discovered the reason behind the visit after seeing news reports. In an interview with GQ for the April cover issue, Affleck shared his surprise at the situation. He recounted how he contacted the FBI to inquire about the visit, only to be met with confusion and a lack of awareness about his identity. It was eventually revealed that the FBI’s visit was related to a break-in at a federal official’s home in the vicinity. The presence of photographers outside the house created the misconception that Affleck was the target of the investigation. Despite initial speculations linking the visit to a drone incident, Affleck clarified that the actual reason was unrelated to him or his property. The fires in the Palisades and Eaton areas caused significant destruction, but Affleck’s homes were fortunately unharmed. In addition to addressing the misunderstanding surrounding the FBI visit, Affleck also discussed his relationships with Jennifer Garner and Jennifer Lopez in the GQ feature.
Ben Affleck stated that the articles are largely nonsensical. The information was contributed by The Associated Press. Source: Ben Affleck was not present at his Los Angeles residence when the FBI arrived, and had to investigate the reason for their visit.
