Ben Affleck let loose his "strongest emotions" as he was seen furiously yelling at paparazzi after visiting Jennifer Lopez at her home.

The 51-year-old seems to have "got to a point where is on a short fuse" amid ongoing speculation he is divorcing J-Lo, according to a body language expert. Ben was seen at his wife's house on Sunday, but their evening didn't end well.

Ben was pictured shouting at a paparazzi while furiously pointing his finger. Ben also grabbed the man's phone as he left. Body language expert Judi James said Ben seemed to be "triggered" by the interaction.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Judi said: "Ben Affleck is known for his historic dislike of being the centre of paparazzi attention but he will usually restrict his signals of frustration and irritation to a scowl or two. Here though he seems to have erupted in anger.

"As he stands shouting at the photographer his legs are splayed and he performs a very dramatic arm-stretched point. When he turns away the skin of his face looks red and blotchy with paler patches, which can by a symptom of the strongest emotions.

"Ben is a big guy and he looms over this man. It's always fair to look for other interpretations of a body language pose but there are no signs here to suggest Ben is just joking or having a friendly chat."

Judi suggested the constant media attention about Ben and J-Lo's marriage may have gotten to him and said he "seems to have got to a point where is on a short fuse." She added: "Big issues or pressure in someone's life can create the strong emotions that are triggered by something else, often something more minor.

"If Ben is under pressure about his marriage though this particular 'trigger' would be more than just the usual irritations like a car that won't start or PC that crashes. This kind of press attention might be very much part of why his relationship with Jennifer is said to shows signs of possible stalling."

Before Ben and Jennifer got married, the couple ended their earlier relationship and blamed the constant media scrutiny. Judi said: "It's probably hard for non-celebs to understand how these photographers operate and the kind of things they do and say to 'poke' a celeb into coming up with the money shot but sadly this one seemed to work and, even sadder for Ben, he must realise that even if he did step away from his very high-profile ‘power couple’ marriage, the attention is unlikely to subside any time now, especially in the wake of displays like this."
