Ben Affleck has finally addressed why he tends to have a ‘resting b***h face’ in photos while also opening up about ‘Sad Affleck’ memes.

The Oscar winner, 51 – who recently made rare comments about wife Jennifer Lopez as he says her fame is ‘bananas’ – discussed the topic during the latest episode of Kevin Hart’s talk show, Hart To Heart. 

At one point during the interview – which took place before divorce rumors began to circulate around Ben and Jennifer – the star explained, ‘I’m also a little bit shy. I also don’t like a lot of attention.’

‘That’s why people see me and they’re like, “Why’s this dude always mad?” Because somebody has their camera and sticks it in my face and I’m like, “Okay, here we go.”‘

However, Affleck expressed that he becomes more bothered when it comes to his own children being photographed.

‘Actually, what I’d like to do is much more definitive than just look at you like this,’ Ben said.

‘I don’t mind, you can take my picture at a club or a premiere, with my wife [Jennifer Lopez], I don’t give a f***. Knock yourself out. I don’t notice you. But with my children, that’s a different thing.’

He also explained that sometimes his face naturally doesn’t look happy and added, ‘By the way, I also might be somebody who I do find myself – I’ll be sitting at home, and they’re like, “What’s wrong?”‘

‘I’m like, “Nothing. I’m listening to this thing.” I start thinking, is something wrong?’ Affleck continued.

The comedian then told the actor that there is possibly a cause to his ‘resting b***h face,’ to which Ben humorously replied with, ‘B***h?! Now, now, I have resting hard face.’

When it comes to public scrutiny of his facial expressions, the Good Will Hunting star added, ‘People are projecting something onto me that I don’t feel about myself at all.’

Earlier last year in February while attending the 65th Grammy Awards with wife, Jennifer, notably became a meme due to his rather disinterested expression at the event. 

Social media users took to X to share their thoughts while some fans were left in hysterics over photos from the star-studded ceremony.

And back in 2016, while promoting Batman Vs, Superman: Dawn Of Justice, the star was the center of 'Sad Affleck' memes due to looking downcast during a press junket for the film with Henry Cavill

One typed out at the time, ‘Ben Affleck, blink if you’re okay #Grammys,’ while another added, ‘Ben Affleck doing the Ben Affleck meme again. #Grammys2023.’

‘Ben Affleck looks like he is having a blast,’ a fan wrote, and another shared, ‘Why does Ben Affleck always look like he’s 10 minutes away from crying during a much needed smoke break.’

In early 2022, Ben reflected on the ‘Sad Affleck’ memes during an interview with the Los Angeles Times – and its effect on his children.

The Gone Girl actor shares Violet, 18, Finn, 15 and Samuel, 12, with ex-wife Jennifer Garner – whom he was married to from 2005 until 2018.

‘I got to a place where [the public perception] was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring.’

He continued, ‘But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that’s the difficult part. Even the “Sad Affleck” meme – that was funny to me. I mean, there’s nobody who hasn’t felt that way at a junket.’

‘But then my kids see it and I think, “Oh, are they going to think their dad is fundamentally sad or they have to worry about me?” That’s really tough.’

He also talked to the outlet about who he is in private is different from his public persona.

‘I think when I was young, people saw me as somebody who had too much or was successful too easily or looked like some kind of cavalier, insincere, callow frat guy.’

‘That was nothing like how I felt. I felt like this sort of insecure, anxious, overly verbal kid from Boston who had tried to break into this business and was dealing with his own stuff.’

Affleck continued, ‘But there is an interesting thing about how we come off versus who we are.’

Also during his latest chat with Kevin Hart, Ben discussed his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez as the two continue to lead separate lives – he is in Los Angeles this week while the diva parties in Capri.

He unfortunately did not address the state of their marriage. That might be because the interview was filmed months ago as Ben had a full beard; he shaved it off in March to film The Accountant 2.

However, Ben shed light on what it was like being wed to someone so famous. The Air actor shared a story about how fans went ‘bananas’ when they spotted the Bronx-born beauty with him in Times Square in New York City.

Turns out, it was his idea to walk through one of the busiest neighborhoods with a superstar on his arm.

‘We went somewhere with [Jennifer] – I can’t remember because she’s so famous, and she creates this – people love her, and she really represents something important to people,’ Affleck began.

‘[To me,] people are like, “Hey, I like your movie,” and then they’re like “AAAHHHH! J-LO!” he yelled. ‘It’s amazing, you know what I mean?’

Then he got more specific. ‘I think it was when we rolled through Times Square,’ he continued.

‘We get out of the car, we were going to a play, and I was like, “F*** it, babe, we’re going to be late, we gotta walk a block and a half.” [Lopez] was like, “Alright,” she didn’t say s***.’

They were with all their children – he has Violet, Seraphina and Samuel with Jennifer Garner and Lopez has Max and Emme with Marc Anthony.

‘We get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the s*** was like f****n’ bananas,’ Affleck noted.

‘I was like, “Oh my God.” There was a lady, she was smoking weed, in a full purple skintight suit—she’s a heavy lady—and she starts running backwards filming, going “-LO!!”

He added, ‘Like a herald, that then gets everyone else, and then all the tourists come in.’ Affleck said the chaos was a lot to take in.

‘Then we’ve got our five kids, it’s me and Jen and what feels like hundreds of people, and they’re all screaming.’

When he began telling the story to Hart, he said his daughter has this thing where she is ‘always throwing out titles to her autobiography.’

His daughter, he doesn’t name which one, then turned to her dad in Time Square after the frenzy began and said a titled for her autobiography could be: J-Lo Was My Stepmother.

He does bring up why his daughter used the past tense. Ben then added: ‘And I was like, alright that’s a good title.’

This comes after a source told DailyMail.com that Lopez is over trying to fix her marriage to Affleck.

An industry insider has now claimed that the pop star has reached her wit’s end and no longer feels that she can do any ‘more’ to save the relationship.

‘Jenny has had enough and she really tried but she can do no more, it’s not getting any better, it’s worse,’ a music industry source told DailyMail.com.

The insider add that the main reason J.Lo left her husband was because he was always ‘grumpy and negative’ like Oscar The Grouch from Sesame Street.

One of those new plans is resuming her This Is Me… Live tour for the summer of 2025 when she turns 56. She canceled the 2024 tour that was scheduled to kick off in July in order to ‘recollect herself.’

‘She is excited about going on tour next year when her personal life is on calmer ground and she can connect with her fans. She will take her tribe with her and make the most of it,’ said the source.

Lopez is also said to be ‘shocked’ by the bad press she has been getting, which she believes is not fair. ‘If people could see what she has really gone through they would be easier on her,’ said the source.

‘Ben is a great guy but he can be grumpy and a downer. I think the world saw that in photos like when they were at the Grammys last year; he wouldn’t smile. If they saw how it really was, they would not attack her,’ said the friend of Jennifer.

‘He chain smokes and cusses and seems irritated a lot of the time. Great director and actor, but not a lot of laughs with him, you know?’ said the source. ‘He is a wonderful father though.’

Most recently, the On The Floor songstress was spotted enjoying a solo trip to Italy without Affleck; seen in January in Beverly Hills

Lopez plans on pushing on. ‘She is really not used to this kind of bad feedback, but she will get over it. She will march on,’ said the pal.

‘Jennifer is a very smart and strong woman and she will bounce back, she always does!’

The two have been embroiled in split rumors while also reportedly living separately – with Ben residing at a $100k-a-month rental in Brentwood, and Lopez staying at their $60M mansion.
