Hollywood actor Ben Affleck was urged to shave off his goatee before promoting his upcoming movie Jersey Girl last week - by the film's bosses. The Hollywood hunk was advised to discard his normally present facial hair by a number of people - including Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein - because it makes him look further removed from his character in the romantic comedy, which also features Liv Tyler and Affleck's Gigli co-star and former fiancee Jennifer Lopez. Affleck says, "There was a general consensus from the marketing people. They said, 'You have to look like how you do in the movie. Otherwise it's weird for people.'"

Thank you Imdb for this stupid story. However, it's still publicity for JG, so that's a pl;us and thankfully it doesn't mention "B+J".
