Ben Affleck discusses his often perceived "Unapproachable Facial Expression".
Ben Affleck, known for his seemingly perpetual grumpiness, as depicted by some internet folks, finally explains his famed "Resting Bitch Face" on a talk show. The popular movie star, who married J.Lo in 2022,sparking mass media speculation about marital troubles, discusses his alleged displeasure with his A-list spouse's attention.
Rumors of relationship issues between the two stars have circulated for weeks. Reports suggest they live somewhat separate lives, with Affleck potentially feeling overwhelmed by his wife's spotlight. A past interview with comedian Kevin Hart on "Hart to Heart" seems to hint at this.
The discussion, presumably recorded before the separation rumors emerged, recalls an instance that encapsulates the challenges of being married to a megastar like J.Lo. Affleck recounts an instance where they visited a play in New York with her five children, attracting unwanted attention as they strolled through Times Square.
Late arrival led them to step out of the car and walk a few blocks, with one overzealous fan capturing them on camera and shouting "J.Lo." This incident sparked a frenzy among tourists, causing quite the chaos. Affleck, a self-professed introvert, struggled to handle the attention. He admitted to being shy and disliking being the center of attention. For him, it's all about avoiding the limelight, which is why he often appears annoyed when cameras are shoved in his face.
The origin of his facial expression
Kevin Hart makes light of Affleck's infamous "Resting Bitch Face," noting how it can give off an annoyed-to-angry vibe in photos. Often, his stiff facial expressions at public events next to the radiant J.Lo make him appear ready to leave. The image of his grumpy facial expression at the Grammy Awards, spawning numerous memes, is still fresh in our minds.
"Ben Affleck, blink twice if you're happy," a viewer joked during the award show. Another comment read: "Why does Ben Affleck always look like he's ten minutes away, during a desperately needed smoke break, about to cry?"
However, Affleck maintains that his expression is not one of annoyance, but rather, stern. This, in his words, leads people to project negative emotions onto him that he doesn't personally feel.
If the latest reports of the rift between him and J.Lo are to be believed, Affleck's stiff facial expression isn't the only thing strained. Allegations suggest he's always "grouchy and negative," as claimed by an unnamed source to the "Daily Mail," potentially being a reason for J.Lo's alleged exit from the marriage.
