Ben Affleck’s blank look at the Grammys has gone viral on social media. In doing so, he confirmed his status as the master of memes.
Movie star Ben Affleck (50) accompanied his wife, singer and actress Jennifer Lopez (53) to the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday.

One meme read, “Why does Ben Affleck always look like he’s ten minutes away from crying during a much-needed smoke break?” on camera directing the awards broadcast: “Whoever is editing to Ben Affleck as he gets more and more desperate, thanks.”
