    Actor Ben Affleck and singer Jennifer Lopez, after an eventful Friday night at the Venice Film Festival, left the city on Saturday. However, when they arrived at the Venice airport, they had an unpleasant encounter with a fan. Videos shot at the airport show a man in a navy shirt and khaki shorts, rushing past security to click a picture with Jennifer Lopez. Shocked by the suddenness of it, Jennifer stepped aside and hid herself behind Ben, who quickly stepped in and pushed the man away. Ben was wearing a navy shirt and blue jeans while Jennifer was wearing a white polka-dot dress and black heels. After pushing the man away, Ben took Jennifer's hand in his and they walked away to catch their flight.
