The actor held on tightly to his oldest daughter, who is 11-year-old, as they spent the day together like any other father and daughter.

But of course, the world-famous actor isn’t just a regular dad, and was stopped on the street by fans, though he happily spoke to them briefly before carrying on with his day.

While there, they browsed through the store seemingly looking for a case for Violet’s new iPod touch.

Violet looked ecstatic, though they left empty-handed. Meanwhile it clearly looks like despite the change in family dynamic, both Ben and Jennifer are doing their best to make sure their kids are unaffected.
