Ben Affleck’s Brentwood mansion has seen more action lately than some Hollywood blockbusters.

From FBI agents investigating mysterious drone activity to military vehicles parked on his street, it seems his affluent Westside neighborhood is attracting all kinds of attention, as reported by TMZ.

The actor was spotted Thursday pulling into his driveway, nonchalant as ever, despite a military Humvee stationed outside his home. The vehicle, sand-colored and equipped with a turret capable of mounting a machine gun, wasn’t exactly the usual suburban eye candy.

A uniformed officer stood nearby, but Affleck didn’t appear fazed, casually driving past as if armored trucks were a daily sight in the neighborhood.

The National Guard’s presence stems from their deployment to assist with the Pacific Palisades wildfire. The inferno has already torched over 23,000 acres and left neighborhoods in Malibu and the Palisades in ashes. However, it doesn’t seem like Affleck himself is under Uncle Sam’s microscope.

Just days earlier, FBI agents paid a visit to the “Argo” star’s home after reports of a drone colliding with a firefighting aircraft. While initial speculation ran wild, sources confirmed Affleck isn’t the target of any federal probe.

Instead, it seems his posh neighborhood has simply become a hotspot for unusual incidents.

If that wasn’t enough, Affleck found himself in a heated discussion with police officers earlier this week. According to reports, the issue revolved around private security guards hassling him during his comings and goings. It seems even Oscar winners aren’t immune to neighborhood drama.

For those keeping score: FBI? Check. Cops? Check. Military? Check. What’s next? CIA operatives dropping in for tea?

While it’s clear Affleck isn’t the focus of any legal trouble, his street is certainly becoming a magnet for high-level activity. Maybe he should consider writing this all into his next script.

In the meantime, let’s hope his neighborhood’s string of bizarre events calms down. After all, even Batman deserves a break.
