Ben Affleck seems to have difficulty coping with the attention surrounding his wife, Jennifer Lopez. He publicly complains about the “crazy” commotion.
How is the marriage of Ben Affleck, 51, and Jennifer Lopez, 54, faring? For weeks, the media has been speculating about a serious crisis. The two stars, who only married in 2022, are said to be leading more or less separate lives. Is Affleck finding the commotion around his famous wife too much? An interview with comedian Kevin Hart, 44, on his talk show “Hart to Heart,” suggests so.
Ben Affleck Struggles with Jennifer Lopez’s Fame
The conversation appears to have been recorded some time ago, before the first rumors of separation. Affleck recounts an experience that exemplifies what it means to be married to a megastar. He describes an outing in New York with Jennifer Lopez and their five children from previous relationships.
As they were running late, they got out of the car and decided to walk a few blocks—right through Times Square. “And then the chaos started, it was crazy,” Affleck recounted. A woman smoking marijuana filmed them while calling out “J.Lo,” attracting numerous tourists. The chaos was almost unbearable, the actor and director recalled. He finds it hard to cope with this level of attention. “I’m a little shy,” he explained to Kevin Hart. That’s also why he often looks angry when someone “puts a camera in my face.”
Ben Affleck’s Famous Grumpy Expression
Kevin Hart took the opportunity to discuss Ben Affleck’s famous “Resting Bitch Face.” The actor’s face sometimes looks annoyed or sad in photos. At public appearances alongside a radiant Jennifer Lopez, he often looks as if he just wants to leave—the memorable grumpy expression he wore at the Grammy Awards continues to inspire countless memes. Ben Affleck insisted to Kevin Hart that he doesn’t have an annoyed face, but rather a “stern face.” The result: “People project something onto me that I don’t feel at all.”
If recent speculation about a crisis between him and Jennifer Lopez is to be believed, Ben Affleck seems to have more than just a grumpy face. He is also said to be “always moody and negative” in his behavior, as an insider recently revealed to the “Daily Mail.” This is reportedly one of the reasons why J.Lo has “given up” on the marriage.
