Ben Affleck<\/a> has been met with huge praise after unpacking a viral video where he turned down his son\u2019s request for expensive trainers.<\/p>\n

Last month, a clip emerged of the Batman actor and his youngest son, Samuel \u2013 who he shares with ex-wife Jennifer Garner <\/a>\u2013 attending a sneaker convention, when the teenager eyed up a pair of Dior Air Force 1s with an eyewatering price tag.<\/p>\n

Having absolutely none of it, the 52-year-old joked that the youngster had to \u2018mow a lot of lawns\u2019 to earn the $6,000 asking price.<\/p>\n

Shedding light on the clip, during an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends, he explained: \u2018He wanted these sneakers, and I was like, \u201cThese sneakers are $6,000, what are you talking about? What are you going to do, mow lawns? You got $6,000?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018He was like, \u201cWe have the money.\u201d I was like, \u201cI have the money! You’re broke!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018You love your kids, you want to give them everything and do everything for them, but I think you definitely do them a disservice by not connecting [that if] you want something that you want, you have to work for that.\u2019<\/p>\n
