‘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.’
