Ben Affleck has recently appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to promote his new movie “Air” and shed some light on his notorious unhappy-looking resting face. Affleck went viral in February when he attended the Grammys with Jennifer Lopez, and his expression on camera caught everyone’s attention. However, according to the actor, he just has an “unhappy-looking resting face,” and it’s a common misconception that he isn’t enjoying himself at events.
Kimmel brought up another instance where Affleck’s “awkwardness” was on full display, proving that it’s not just in public that he appears uninterested. “It did seem like you weren’t quite as psyched about the party as everybody else,” Kimmel said of Affleck and Lopez’s holiday party in December 2022. Affleck threw his head back laughing before responding: “See, that’s a common misconception about me.”
Affleck suggested that he had seen the online reaction to his Grammy appearance, which Twitter users have dubbed the latest iteration of “Sad Affleck.” “I’ve been the subject of the occasional meme,” he said. However, the actor has a good sense of humor about it and even demonstrated to the audience what his “content” and “amused” faces look like, before making expressions that resembled someone who is having the worst day of their life.
Furthermore, Affleck clarified the tense-looking exchange he and Lopez had during the awards ceremony when host Trevor Noah walked up to their table for an on-air segment. “I saw [host Trevor Noah approach] and I was like, ‘Oh, God.’ They were framing us in this shot, but I didn’t know they were rolling,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “I leaned into her and I was like, ‘As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor,'” Affleck said he told Lopez. “She goes, ‘You better fucking not leave.’ That’s a husband-and-wife thing.”
