Ben Affleck cut a handsome figure while attending The Accountant 2 premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
The leading man, 52, looked suave in a navy suit as he continued to show off his recently dyed hair and beard.
The actor has been sporting noticeably darker hair, while his beard also seemed to have lost its salt-and-pepper character.
The Accountant 2 centers around Ben’s character Christian Wolff and his brother Brax, played by Jon Bernthal. Christian, a highly intelligent forensic accountant with autism, tries to help solve the murder of a treasury agent.
It takes place eight years after the events that took place in the first installment of The Accountant.
The appearance comes after Ben made a candid confession about flirting following his divorce with Jennifer Lopez, 55.

The star shockingly admitted to not being smooth around women despite having previous relationships with stunners Jennifer Garner, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ana de Armas, Shauna Sexton, and the aforementioned J-Lo.
Ben – who finalized his divorce with the Waiting For Tonight hitmaker in January after a two-and-a-half of marriage – made the candid reveal during a press junket for his new film, as he said that he relates to his character Christian’s lack of flirting skills.
Of his character, Ben told Page Six recently: ‘Here’s a guy who’s trying to figure out — he wants to have a relationship with a woman, he’s trying to figure out how to do that, like, how to put yourself out there.
‘You know, he’s not comfortable extending himself. He doesn’t really know how to flirt exactly. He’s not comfortable.’
Then he related the feeling to the general feeling that most people have – while shockingly including himself – as he said ‘like so many of us.’
Ben went on to explain: ‘It’s not easy for anyone figuring out relationships, particularly at the very early part, where you’re trying to gauge, “What does this signal mean? Is this person looking at me? Do they like me? Am I going to humiliate myself if I go over there?”‘
He did go on to reveal that he was proud of his character for putting himself out there by line-dancing while on the date which he said was ‘kind of a lovely thing.’
Ben went on to joke: ‘I probably am not going to get a lot more demands for my line-dancing work [in movies]. I don’t know. The phone hasn’t rung yet.’
