In the curious case of Ben Affleck’s perpetually viral “sad face,” Jennifer Lopez has stepped forward to set the record straight: her husband is “good” and “happy.”
The pop sensation, who has been married to Affleck since July 2022, addressed the internet’s fixation on Affleck’s facial expressions during a recent interview on the Golden Globes red carpet.
Lopez, 54, responded with both amusement and reassurance, telling Entertainment Tonight, “Ben is doing alright. You don’t need to worry about Ben, let me just tell you. He is good. He is happy. He is here, he is nominated.”
Affleck’s film, “Air,” received two Golden Globe nominations, and J.Lo wants everyone to focus on his achievements rather than his facial expressions.
She playfully questioned the internet’s fascination with her husband’s expressions, stating, “I’m chilling, I don’t understand what people are so pressed for.”
Lopez also took a lighthearted jab at the fact that her own facial expressions don’t receive the same attention, humorously noting, “They don’t pick up on my face,” before breaking into laughter.
This isn’t the first time Ben Affleck’s facial expressions have become the talk of the town. Memes and jokes have circulated, particularly after moments like his seemingly sad and tired appearance at the Grammy Awards.
Even Affleck himself addressed the phenomenon during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in March 2023, humorously attributing it to his “unhappy-looking resting face.”
During that appearance, Affleck showcased different facial expressions, clarifying that he just naturally looks a bit glum. Despite being in on the joke, he emphasized, “That’s how God made me. You don’t have to punish me for it.”
While Ben Affleck’s expressions might continue to spark online conversations, Jennifer Lopez wants the world to know that behind the viral memes is a man who is content, happy, and nominated for prestigious awards.
So, the next time Affleck’s face graces the internet with its presence, perhaps the focus can shift to celebrating his accomplishments rather than dissecting his expressions.
