Ben Affleck shot scenes for Live By Night on Monday in Los Angeles, and not only is he starring in the prohibition-era film, but he's also directing it. Wonder if he's giving orders on set in this old-timey outfit? We'd have a pretty hard time concentrating, because it's so odd to see him wearing makeup on a clean-shaven face!

Live By Night follows the story of Joe Coughlin, the son of a Boston police captain who becomes a bootlegger and eventually a gangster. Last month Ben was spotted on set with co-star Zoe Saldana, and the film also stars Sienna Miller, Elle Fanning, Scott Eastwood, Brendan Gleeson and Anthony Michael Hall.

While Ben is busy filming, at least he's not toooo far away from estranged wife Jennifer Garner and the couple's three kids. After all, just a few days ago the family went out to dinner in Brentwood near their shared home, so it seems like Ben's trying to give the whole reconciliation thing a shot, right?
