Hollywood star with links to Ben Affleck and Bradley Cooper is unrecognizable while on a bike ride
This Hollywood star was unrecognizable on a bicycle ride in Los Angeles on Sunday. This beauty was cute with a helmet on as she put safety first.
The brunette has links to both Ben Affleck and Bradley Cooper.
Can you tell who it is?
It's Jennifer Garner.
The Alias actress, 53, who has spoken about the struggles of being a parent while promoting her Once Upon a Farm brand, wore a sturdy looking helmet as she rode her Rad Power electric bike in the Brentwood area.
The Deadpool & Wolverine star pedaled around wearing some black animal print leggings and sneakers with a large tan overshirt.

Her chestnut locks were pulled back in a low ponytail and she wore large, dark framed sunglasses.
The Emmy nominee seems to have been using the bike basket for a very special project.
Video on social media show she spent a good part of the day wrapping trees near her home in different colored ribbons to create a rainbow effect.
'Pride trees = my favorite time of the year! ♥️♥️' she wrote on Instagram to explain what she was doing.
Garner even invited a young friend to assist her in the project. 'You wanna help me wrap?' she asked the adorable volunteer.
'LOVE YOU LADY and LOVE THIS,' exclaimed actress Tracee Ellis Ross.
'My queen,' wrote activist Dylan Mulvaney.
'Once again, I nominate Jennifer Garner as an American Treasure,' wrote a fan.
Pride Month may have a more special meaning for the mother of three whose middle child Fin, 16, born Seraphina, has identified as non-binary.
Garner is also mom to Yale student Violet, 19, and Sam, 13, whom she shares with ex-husband Ben Affleck, 52.
Of course, not everyone was happy about her support of the LGBTQ+ community.
'June is Veterans Month. Why not celebrate that?' queried one.
'The rainbow belongs to GOD & GOD Only!' stated a commenter.
'Oh lord not you too,' said another.
'I hope everyone unfollowing has the most uncomfortable month! Happy Pride y'all!' was one fan's pushback.
In 2018, while promoting her film Love, Simon, about a teen who comes out to his parents, Garner revealed her best friend had come out to her as a teen, telling Pride Source she was 'honored and thrilled' her friend trusted her.
'That is one of the things that I hope kids take away from this movie: Don't let yourself be so isolated with whatever it is you're scared about,' she advised.
'Find some way to reach out, whether it's to somebody online, whether it's one friend you feel like you can trust; hopefully it'll be your parents and you can lean on them.'

Dick Van Dyke, 99, sparks concern as he drops out of event last-minute due to illness
Dick Van Dyke sparked concern after dropping out of an event last-minute due to illness. The 99-year-old actor was supposed to host his event Vandy Camp on Saturday alongside his wife Arlene Silver but had to cancel his appearance last minute. His wife, 53, announced the news to those in attendance at the Arlene & Dick Van Dyke Theater at Malibu High School and explained that the Tony-winning star was not having a 'good day.' During her speech, she began by telling the audience that she is 'not the Van Dyke you're expecting.' 'I have to inform you that Dick is not up to coming to celebrate with us today,' she said. 'I'm sorry.' This comes just weeks after the silver screen icon revealed what the 'curse' of living to almost 100 is. The makeup artist continued: 'When you're 99-and-a-half years old, you have good days and bad days. 'And unfortunately, today is not a good day for him, and he's sick that he can't be here,' she added. However, Van Dyke did still make an appearance on a livestream on the same day. Silver said that she was 'pretty confident' that Van Dyke would be at the next Vandy Camp event 'in person.'

BREAKING NEWS Jake Paul dominates Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. as YouTuber-turned-boxer enjoys winning return to boxing
Jake Paul secured another win over another iconic boxing name with a unanimous points victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr on Saturday night. Chavez Jr. is the son and namesake of one of boxing's greatest ever fighters but the 39-year-old barely laid a glove on Paul for the first half of the fight. Instead, YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul dominated his opponent for long periods as boos rang out in Anaheim, California. Chavez Jr. showed flashes of life in the closing rounds but he was powerless to prevent Paul from improving his professional record to 12-1. 'The Problem Child' withstood a messy late barrage to keep alive his hopes of landing fights with some of boxing's biggest names. Paul, who was fighting for the first time since his controversial clash with Mike Tyson, won by scores of 99-91, 97-93 and 98-92.

Hail the brave, defiant women who rightly shame their attackers
'Let them see what they've done.' On the flight back to Washington after her husband's assassination, that was Jackie Kennedy's reason for refusing to clean herself up and change out of that famous pink suit. It was spattered with blood, powdered bone and brain tissue, her stockings were soaked and her face was smeared with gore but she insisted on stepping off the plane bearing her battle scars for the world's cameras to record. The ensemble itself, the bloodied stockings folded into a white towel, is preserved in a climate-controlled vault outside Washington. Almost nobody has seen it since that day and, on the Kennedy family's strict instructions, the vault will not be opened for decades to come. Why didn't she change out of those bloodstained garments on the way back? It's a three-hour flight from Dallas to Washington and yet she sat there all the way in that suit, with the blood stiffening on her clothes, its metallic smell thickening the air, rather than wash and change to make herself presentable. She was clearly a woman who took great pride in her glamour — it must have gone against every instinct to appear in public in such a degraded state. Hours earlier she'd been first lady, a fashion icon, radiant in her custom-made outfit; now she was a widow, dishevelled, stained and dirty, a sight to horrify and repel rather than charm and attract. There must have been some, back in the day, who considered her display hysterical and unseemly, unbecoming to someone of her status. Not much has changed in the 60-odd years since. Women in the public eye are still expected to present themselves in a manner never required of men, and attractive women are under an added obligation to be decorative, as if to do otherwise were a defiance of their purpose. Sinéad O'Connor shaved her head to thwart industry executives who she feared prized her good looks above her music. Youth and beauty, for all the strides we've made, are still considered a woman's most valuable capital; old and ugly are the insults most often flung at contrary or controversial females to put them in their proper place. An Irish Times letter writer last week described how her 81-year-old mother confronted a man on Sandycove beach for breaching a ban on dogs in the bathing area, as he had two large hounds roaming free. His response was to put a heavy chain lead around the elderly woman's neck and tell her she was the only dog on the beach. The most striking image of the past week, for me, was the picture of Alanna Quinn Idris on her way to court to confront one of the thugs who blinded her in an unprovoked attack four years ago. She is an exceptionally beautiful young woman and, with the wind lifting her curls into a black halo, she looked like an ancient warrior goddess, striding into the criminal courts in Dublin in pursuit of justice. But her beauty was not being deployed for the male gaze or admiration; instead, she was deliberately subverting convention by displaying, to horrify, and even repel us, the evidence of her injuries. And it is shocking to see: her dead eye, a white orb in her lovely face, challenging, defiant and uncompromising. The author Salman Rushdie also lost an eye, in a stabbing attack provoked by the Satanic Verses fatwa during a speaking event in New York in 2022. He wrote a memoir, Knife, in which he reflected deeply on the incident and laid bare the chilling detail of the injury. His eye, he said, was left dangling on his cheek 'like a soft-boiled egg', and the lids are now stitched closed. But in public, he covers his wound with a darkened spectacle lens or an eye patch. By contrast, Quinn Idris offers her attackers no reprieve, and her decision to attend court without covering her ruined eye was a statement of astonishing power: let them see what they've done. By coincidence, another defiant sufferer of male violence, Natasha O'Brien was also back in the news last week, with an RTE documentary charting her emergence from victim of a brutal, random street attack to campaigner against gender-based violence. I suspect that by being beautiful women, way above the level of the scrawny, cowardly little thugs who attacked them, O'Brien and Quinn Idris somehow inflamed those inadequate men into trying to destroy their looks. Cathal Crotty, a soldier, held O'Brien by the hair and punched her repeatedly in the face, breaking her nose, after she challenged him for taunting a gay man on a night out. Quinn Idris had previously been harassed by Jack Cummins, who last week admitted procuring the attack in which she was struck in the face with the saddle of an e-scooter. Stigma, or shame, was cited last week by Sarah Benson, the Women's Aid chief executive, to explain the reluctance of women to admit to being victims of domestic abuse. 'Persisting social attitudes to domestic violence,' she said, 'prevent women from coming forward.' Last year, however, Women's Aid received the highest number of disclosures of domestic violence in its 50-year history. More than 41,000 women reported abuse by a partner or former partner, up 17 per cent on 2023. Is it really the case that more women are being assaulted now than, say, during Covid, when UN Women described the global spike in domestic violence as a 'shadow pandemic'? Or is it just possible that, inspired by women like Quinn Idris and O'Brien, who are placing the shame where it belongs, more victims are emboldened to come forward, stand up to their abusers and let the world see what they've done? Coming soon after band member Mo Chara's court appearance in London on a terrorism charge, Kneecap's performance in Fairview Park this month was always going to be a big event. And so it proved: the rappers attracted their biggest crowd for a solo gig, playing to a capacity audience of 8,000 on home turf in Dublin. The controversy, which included the UK prime minister, Sir Keir Starmer, saying he didn't believe they should have been in yesterday's Glastonbury line-up, almost certainly attracted supporters for whom the band's music was a secondary consideration to their politics. Mo Chara, real name Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, is accused of displaying a jihadist flag at a London show in November. Also last weekend, a performer who has attracted very little controversy, been denounced by no world leaders, taken no stance, fashionable or otherwise, on the Gazan conflict and engaged in no divisive rhetoric, played in Dublin. Zach Bryan, of whom most people of my generation had never heard before his Irish appearances, played three shows in another park in the capital. Each night, the country-pop star, who sings of love, loss, longing, drinking beer and talking to his dead grandpa, drew a crowd of more than 60,000 people, evenly gender balanced and mostly twentysomethings, or almost 200,000 Irish fans over his Phoenix Park run. That's enough to fill Croke Park almost three times over, whereas a crowd of 8,000 at a Cavan-Monaghan Gaelic football match on a wet Sunday in April last year was considered paltry. Could it be that some people like their music to come without a side-order of political hectoring and a compulsory serving of performative virtue-signalling? Who'd have thought it?
