The actor told a massive porky!
Ben Affleck's been spotted sporting a giant back tattoo.
The Hollywood star was photographed shirtless on a beach in Hawaii and it was hard to miss the colourful inking on his back.
The body art appears to be a phoenix rising from the ashes but fans are slating it.
Next time you're feeling sad, remember that you're not Ben Affleck so you (probably) don't have a tattoo so big and so ugly and so universally ridiculed that you had to lie and say it was only temporary and just for a movie when it is so clearly not.

Ben previously said the tattoo was fake. It was first glimpsed in July 2015, a month after his split from Jennifer Garner.
The 45 year old was caught by paparazzi getting into a car with his shirt slightly lifted.

It was spotted in its entirety in December of that year, but the actor told Extra TV that it was a "fake for a movie", though he didn't specify which.
However, fans smelled a rat especially as the inking was sighted several times over the next two years.
Now that it's clear that the tattoo is very much real, the internet is having a field day at Ben's expense.

What was his plan? Tons of concealer? Never going shirtless in public again? I have so many questions.

The weirdest part of the Ben Affleck back tattoo is that he lied saying it was for a role AND THOUGHT WE WOULDNT FIND OUT

Is he being unfairly roasted?!
