Ben Affleck and son Samuel share a sweet bonding moment during the Lakers star-studded game as Timothée Chalamet watched intently

Ben Affleck and his son Samuel shared a sweet bonding moment while supporting the Lakers during their star-studded game on Thursday.

The actor, 52, and Samuel, 12, looked elated watching the game against Minnesota Timberwolves as fellow fan and Oscar hopeful Timothée Chalamet joined them in the crowds.

Ben and Samuel took to their usual seats on the courtside putting on a supportive front for the team as Samuel wore a Lakers jersey for the event.

Samuel layered his vest over a thick black hooded jumper, a pair of cream joggers and blue high top trainers.

Meanwhile, his famed father kept his look casual for the outing as he wore a purple shirt, a grey trench coat and black jeans.

The game evidently had its ups and downs as they were seen going through a range of emotions throughout.

And Wonka actor Timothée, 29, also seemed to be engrossed in the play as he remained stern looking for most of the game.

Timothée stepped out in a black leather jacket which he paired with a black T-shirt and black trousers.

He brought along an extra jumper for layers and stepped out in a pair of black Air Force Ones.

Also spotted at the star-studded event was Beautiful Things singer Benson Boone who opted to turn up in a Lakers basketball kit.

The artist, 22, put on a quirky display as he paired his activewear with tinted aviator sunglᴀsses and a gold chain.

And the game was a thrilling one to attend as the Lakers took home the victory with a 111-102 win.

They are now 8-2 overall since Luca Dončić was traded to Los Angeles, who they will host this weekend in the second game of back-to-back.

Ben shares Samuel, as well as Violet, 18, and Fin, 15, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, 52, to whom he was married from 2005 until 2018.

In recent months he has been focusing on his family and his acting and directing work as he moves on while his divorce from his second wife Jennifer Lopez proceeds.

He and his son both looked as if they were having a great time during the game, and they could be seen chatting animatedly with each other.

It appeared to be a relaxing change of pace for Ben after he had to deal with a major shakeup on an upcoming project.

Ben had been set to collaborate again with his best friend Matt Damon on an upcoming thriller for Netflix, тιтled Animals, which he would direct while Matt played the lead role.

But the film was thrown into chaos after Matt had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts arising from his role in Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated adaptation of The Odyssey.

Matt, who has previously appeared in Nolan’s blockbuster films Oppenheimer and Interstellar, hasn’t shared which character he’ll be playing in the adaptation of the timeless Greek epic.

But without his leading man, Ben had to come up with a quick fix lest the project fall apart, so he will now be pulling double duty as director and leading man.

After ᴅᴇᴀᴅline reported that Affleck would be directing and starring in the film, it was also reported that X-Files star Gillian Anderson had joined the cast.
