Affleck protects JLo from enthusiastic fan

What should have been a memorable weekend in Venice for Hollywood’s most talked about couple right now turned awry due to an over-enthusiastic fan. Actor Ben Affleck and singer-songwriter Jennifer Lopez were returning home after their stint at the Venice Film Festival, when the latter was accosted at the airport by a fan.

Videos shot at the airport show a man in a navy shirt and khaki shorts rushing past security to click a picture with Lopez.

Lopez, in turn, stepped aside and hid herself behind Affleck, who quickly stepped in and pushed the man away. After pushing the man away, Affleck took Lopez’s hand in his and they quickly walked away to catch their flight.

Meanwhile, Affleck debuted his latest movie, The Last Duel, the Ridley Scott’s historical epic, at the Venice Film Festival last Friday.
