Ben Affleck and his on-off fiancée Jennifer Lopez have picked up something of a reputation for covering their movements with media smoke screens – especially around the time of their forecast marriage last September. It comes as no surprise, therefore, to learn that Ben is apparently due to be in several places at the same time over the holiday season.
Speaking in an recent interview the Good Will Hunting star revealed that he and Jen are to spend Christmas Eve with his folks in Boston and then drive down to be with J Lo's parents in the Bronx on Christmas Day.
Those plans may come as something of a surprise to America's United Services Organisation, however, which has him travelling to the Gulf over the holiday period to meet with soldiers stationed there. According to the USO the 31-year-old actor, who will take his latest flick Paycheck along with him, will be visiting various posts in the region.
"He will be spending the holiday with the troops," said USO spokesperson Donna St John.
