In July Hollywood’s favourite sweethearts, Ben Affleck and Jen Garner confirmed their divorce, now four months later, the dad-of-three is looking very different.

Ben was spotted at the LA film premiere of Beasts of No Nation without one of his signature accessories – his beard!

People named him the sexiest man alive in 2002 and he is most definitely considered among the highest echelons of Hollywood hunks – but recently the 43-year-old stepped out and he was almost unrecognisable.

We are not sure why the Oscar winner decided to shave his face, but we respect his decision to do so – kind of.

It’s no secret that 2015 has been a hectic year for Ben, with insane work commitments and the demise of his 10 year marriage Jennifer Garner.

Despite what could be a messy divorce, the pair though seem to be on good terms as they head to counselling, no doubt to help with the task of co-parenting their three kids, Violet, nine, Seraphina, six, and Samuel, three.

But, at the moment, we’re more concerned about the demise of the Batman star’s luscious facial hair.

Perhaps we should get #prayforbensbeard trending?
