According to a recent report, Ben Affleck was interested in taking Sydney Sweeney out on a date. After Sweeney called off her wedding to fiancé Jonathan Davino, many assumed an opportunity to go after her, and Affleck reportedly did not stand back. The 52-year-old actor is said to have developed a “crush” on Sweeney. He is hoping to get the chance to meet her upon learning she was apparently single.
Ben Affleck has been crushing on Sydney Sweeney for a ‘while,’ says ‘source’
Both critically acclaimed actors have been in the spotlight for their careers and personal matters alike. Ben Affleck recently split up with Jennifer Lopez, while Sydney Sweeney called off her wedding with her fiancé. This could indicate the former to take her out on a date. While Affleck has reportedly been focusing on sobriety, Sweeney has quickly risen to fame with standout performances on “Euphoria.”
Per RadarOnline’s exclusive report published on April 22, an insider shared that the “Gone Girl” actor was setting his sights on Sweeney. According to the insider, “Ben has been crushing on Sydney for a while.” Detailing further, the insider added, “He’s been asking around and putting it out there that he wants to get an introduction.”
However, the source added that Affleck’s desires did not stem purely from Sweeney’s appearance. It revealed, “He’s heard great things about her intelligence and business savvy through the grapevine.” The report cited Affleck as being “very eager to meet her and see for himself.” Moreover, “The Accountant” star resonated with Sweeney’s low-key lifestyle. Given that he battled his alcohol addiction, the insider claimed Sweeney’s sobriety was “another draw” for Affleck.
As for the pair’s almost 30-year age difference, the insider reported Affleck having no concerns about it, even if it was a non-negotiable for Sweeney. Noting the Oscar winner’s wishes, the source remarked, “He’s intrigued by her.” Although neither Ben Affleck nor Sydney Sweeney has commented on their potential date, the insider was certain that Affleck was “ready to take a chance” even with Sweeney’s dating rumors with Glen Powell being all over the media.
