Ben Affleck, a father of three, had a relatable reaction as a parent when his son Samuel showed interest in a pair of $6,000 sneakers.

The father-son duo attended the Got Sole sneaker convention in Los Angeles in March 1, and Got Sole shared an Instagram video post in which Affleck can be seen raising his eyebrows and commenting on Samuel's choice in footwear.

"That's a lot of lawns you've got to mow there," the 52-year-old told Samuel, now 13.

"You like those because they're expensive," he added of the sneakers' sky-high price tag.
