Ben Affleck protects Jennifer Lopez by physically holding back a fan who tried too hard to get a selfie

Ben Affleck proved that he isn’t one to mess with when it comes to protecting his girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez.

Images show the maskless fan with a large, bushy beard approach the couple as they were walking and get right up in their personal space with his camera to try and get a selfie. Reacting quickly, Affleck gently but firmly pushed the man back with both hands and kept them extended so that he stayed a reasonable distance away. Lopez, meanwhile, took a step back and looked somewhat surprised as the confrontation unfolded in front of her.  Fortunately, things didn’t get any more intense than that as the couple’s personal bodyguard then stepped in, grabbed the man by his wrists and escorted him a safe distance away. With that, Page Six reports that Affleck grabbed JLo’s hand and escorted her the rest of the way to their destination, undeterred by yet another awkward fan encounter.
