The 47-year-old actor was seen pulling up to Armas’s photoshoot set in a burgundy 1966 V8 Chevrolet Chevelle SS. Unfortunately, after the 32-year-old actress came out to greet Affleck and before the couple drove away, the car’s battery ending up dying and needing a jumpstart, according to the Daily Mail.

Affleck seemed to be prepared as he pulled out a jumpstarter from the backseat of his car. The couple was spotted by the hood of the car together as Affleck connected the cables to the battery with another car parked nearby. After several attempts causing Affleck to go back and forth between his driver’s seat and the hood of his car, the engine finally started. Armas and a group of people surrounding the couple all happily clapped once they heard the growling of the car’s engine.
