Is ring real or just for a role?

On Friday, Ben returned in front of the cameras while shooting for his upcoming Netflix film Animals, which will also mark his return as actor, director and writer since 2023’s Air. The actor was spotted on a break from filming with the wedding ring on. Page Six posted pictures of the star on X (formerly Twitter) which created quite a buzz.

According a report in People.com, the 52-year-old star plays a married mayoral candidate along with Kerry Washington who will be seen playing his onscreen wife.

“He’s both acting and producing. He’s always great to work with,” a source told People, noting that Ben is playing “a married mayoral candidate” in the movie. The actor and filmmaker was photographed wearing a wedding band on the movie’s set in recent photos. “Filming just kicked off, but it’s been great so far. Ben’s been in a great mood and super fun to work with,” the source added.

Although, it is unclear it seem like the wedding band belongs to Ben’s onscreen character rather than him personally.
