Ben Affleck and George Clooney hug it out as their film 'The Tender Bar' wraps filming

The Tender Bar star Ben Affleck was snapped giving a hug to fellow industry mate and the director of the film, George Clooney on the sets of their upcoming film in order to celebrate the wrap of their film. As one will soon see in the latest addition to the list of Ben Affleck's photos, several others gathered to witness the moment that saw the two superstars and industry veterans giving each other a hug after calling it a wrap on the next George Clooney directorial. As one can also in the latest set of George Clooney's photos, he can be seen as relatively simply dressed, considering that he is just in the seat of the director for Ben Affleck's new movie. Affleck, who was last seen in Zack Snyder's Justice League, on the flip side, has a look that can be considered to be quite a departure from that of the other personas he has been seen donning for the screen in the recent past.
