Ben Affleck lost control outside his and Jennifer Lopez’s marital home Sunday when paparazzi wouldn’t stop snapping photos and blinding him with their flashes.

The bright bulbs were such a distraction and safety issue that the Oscar winner abruptly slammed on the brakes of his car, reversed and exited the vehicle to chastise the photogs.

“Listen, man, you’re going to get me in an accident,” Affleck, 51, can be heard telling one of the cameramen in a video obtained by TMZ Monday. “Don’t flash your lights as I’m driving down the driveway.”

The “Argo” star continued to get into the shutterbug’s face as he attempted to lecture him on the dangers of the incessant flashes.

“Don’t do that. That’s dangerous. You don’t even know if that’s me,” he warned. “You could cause an accident.”

As Affleck made his way back to his car, another photographer decided to resume taking photos, prompting the “Air” actor to turn his frustrations.

“Stop, man. It’s dangerous what you guys are doing. Do you understand?” Affleck said. “I can’t see. You’re going to get somebody hurt doing this s–t. Jesus Christ, my daughter’s coming down here.

“If you flash your lights on her, you’re putting her in danger. Do you understand that?”

While Affleck directed his ire at the paparazzi, the “Hustlers” star has been spotted taking sultry selfies while wearing a $99 swimsuit during a boat ride in Italy. Following a few days in Italy, Lopez made her way to France, where she attended the Vogue World show.

The “Accountant” star, who has removed his wedding ring, has been seen spending time with his daughter Violet, 18, in the meantime.

Although Bennifer 2.0 dropped $60 million on their Beverly Hills, Calif., estate, a source claimed to People that they have decided to sell it because of its inconvenient location.

“Ben never liked the house,” a source shared. “It’s too far away from his kids.”

The insider also said Lopez thinks the property is “too big for her.”

The pair purchased the sprawling house in May 2023 for their blended family. Affleck shares Violet, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, while J.Lo co-parents twins Max and Emme, 16, with her ex-husband Marc Anthony.

“[Affleck has] come to his senses now and understands there is just no way this is going to work,” a source previously told Page Six of their failing romance.

The insider added that Affleck considers their time together a “fever dream.”
