There is a lot of speculation on the internet about pictures of the Hollywood star. Now Ben Affleck reveals what goes on in his head when he makes these facial expressions.
The “Sad Affleck” memes of sad or angry Ben Affleck have been a cult on the Internet for years: Now the Hollywood star has once again explained why he often looks like that in (paparazzi) photos.
“I’m a little shy, I don’t like a lot of attention. That’s why people see me and ask themselves: ‘Why is this guy always so mad?'” Affleck said in an interview with Oscar winner Kevin Hart on the US show “Hart to Heart” on the streaming service Peacock – and immediately provided an answer: “Because someone puts their camera in my face and I think: ‘Okay, here we go.'”
“It’s different with my children”
He also wanted to protect his family from intrusive photographers, as he told potential paparazzi. “You can photograph me in a club or at a premiere, with my wife, I don’t care. Don’t feel pressured. I don’t notice you. But with my children it’s a different matter.”
Ben Affleck (51) has three children between the ages of 12 and 18 with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner (52), and has been married to singer Jennifer Lopez (54) since 2022.
“People project something onto me that I don’t even feel”
There have been debates about “Sad Affleck” memes on the internet for much longer. Memes are images that are spread on social media and often contain humorous comments. In his opinion, the reactions to his facial expressions probably do not reflect how he is feeling at the time. “People are projecting something onto me that I don’t feel at all.” He has a “calm, hard face,” said Affleck.
