Lol, okay. Forget it, it's there 

[Sarzy]

Lol he does, he always looks miserable!

mostroop I've moved this thread to the gossip section 

[tulip]

Hilarious! Someone commented he looks like he's with his wife at a work event... which is exactly what he's doing. It's just most spouse's work events aren't the grammys!

[holly]

He looks like he's about to cry! hahahaha!

[panic]

Wow, he does.

He looks so blazingly uncomfortable or in pain.

[beeyotch]

I wonder if he's drinking again.

Or maybe this is what he looks like when he's NOT drinking. Miserable.

Yep, I'm gonna go with B.

[constancespry]

I just cannot wait til he is caught out with strippers (or their housekeeper), and she does the tearful talk show circuit for sympathy! 😁

[imnotbitter]

He always looks like this.

[trixie]

^^ Exactly!!

[no1novice]

What he done to his face? It looks different.

A mask of unadorned misery: how Ben Affleck became the world’s biggest meme





In pictures from the Grammys, the superstar once again looks exhausted and overwhelmed. His expression speaks for us all
Ben Affleck at the Grammys … a man weighed down by the punishing, relentless burden of life on Earth.

Ben Affleck has a life that many of us would kill for. He is rich. He is handsome. He has reached the peak of his career behind the camera (winning two Oscars as a writer and director) and in front of it (the guy was literally Batman). He has been romantically involved with some of the most beautiful women on the planet, and is currently married to Jennifer Lopez. Whichever way you look at it, everything about Affleck’s life is wildly aspirational in almost every single way.

And yet, look at him at this weekend’s Grammys. In picture after picture, Affleck seems utterly dejected. He is staring off into space, unmoved by his proximity to glamour. He doesn’t smile; he doesn’t even try. He looks like someone who has successfully disassociated from everything surrounding him, like someone who would rather retreat to the comforting vortex of his own mind than indulge in any of the revelry.

Sadly for Affleck, the internet also saw these photographs and responded accordingly. That’s right, it pains me to inform you that Affleck has become a meme again.

This isn’t the first time he has been down this road. Almost as soon as Affleck ventures out into public these days, he unwittingly turns into a meme. Remember the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice junket, where he kept glazing over in a death mask of unadorned misery? Remember the photo of him smoking outside, exhaling with all the dejected energy of someone who has unquestionably Been Through Something? Remember the shot of him standing alone on a beach, a towel wrapped around his waist, glumly surveying the horizon with the world’s worst phoenix tattoo scratched deep into his back? All of them memes. All of them perfect.

It is this disconnect, you suspect, that makes Affleck so meme-able. He has everything, and yet he appears to enjoy none of it. Remember the Affleck of old, young and handsome and so cocky that you couldn’t help but take against the guy? That Affleck is gone. In his place is a man weighed down by the sheer punishing, relentless burden of life on Earth. And that, as you no doubt realise for yourself,is much more our speed.

Because aren’t we all, deep down, looking for someone who looks how we feel? Don’t we all want to see ourselves within the deep, miserable crags of a superstar’s face? Don’t we want someone to come along, hold our hand and say: “Hey, me too”? That is the service that Affleck provides. Don’t mistake that face for boredom. For a man of his stature to simply be bored with the spoils that surround him would be plainly obnoxious. No, instead Affleck looks exhausted and overwhelmed. His life is asking too much of him, and it is taking a heavy toll. Now answer me this: isn’t that exactly how you feel all the time?

Of course, it helps that all of the Affleck memes are, situationally speaking, absolutely correct. It makes perfect sense that he looked miserable at the Batman junket. Junkets are unspeakably miserable for every single person who takes part in them, from star to journalist to press person. They are torture. Similarly, although I have never smoked, that picture of Affleck smoking – just taking a moment for himself away from all the crap – has somehow tapped into the darkest recesses of my spirit.


And, of course, Affleck looked like that at the Grammys. The Grammys seem like a terrible way to spend an evening. They are bad enough to watch on TV. But imagine being there, surrounded by those crowds of preening, self-absorbed celebrities. If you went to the Grammys, you would 100% look like Affleck did this weekend, silently counting down the clock until you were finally allowed to go home.

Affleck is a fine actor and wonderful screenwriter whose work deserves to be remembered for generations to come. But all that fades to nothing next to his work as a meme. Nobody alive can touch Affleck for his meme work. It is everything: touching, hilarious and relatable. Whenever Affleck becomes a meme, he temporarily becomes all of us and we should cherish him for that.

His face looks like he tried botox and it's wearing off. Or they didn't do enough around the eyebrow muscles...

And J. Lo got to his cheekbones with the bronzer.

[anamishana]

There was a recent tiktok video of him and Jlo at her premiere and the uploader creator lipread their argument. She accused him of drinking and then tasting his drink. He looked put out and was like no. I think he's drinking again and the honeymoon is over. Also that clip of them at the grammies is hilarious. She's angrily dancing and he wishes he wad far away. I don't think this will last a year. I bey Garner is sighing in relief that she doesn't have to babysit him anymore when he drops off the wagon.

Yep, I'm gonna go with B.

I'm going to go with both A and B.

A - He's grabbing sneaky drinks when he thinks he can get away with it while telling himself that it's not like he's getting blitzed 24/7 therefore he's handling it just fine and it isn't a big deal.

B - "Enjoying" sobriety when he's under close spousal surveillance, AKA antsy as fuck until he can find an opportunity to sneak his next drink.

Jennifer Garner will probably still step in to babysit him, the same as she always does, purely for the sake of their three kids.  Sadly I give him another ten years, maximum, before they lose him to drink, drugs or a mental health issue. Looking at his family history there's a lot of precedence - Two grandparents were alcoholics, with his paternal grandmother also being addicted to barbiturates before committing suicide. His father was a long time addict, his uncle was an addict who died from a self inflicted gunshot wound, his aunt had an addiction to heroin and his brother is a recovering addict. Hopefully he'll beat the odds but there's a lot stacked against him.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck were caught bickering at the 2023 Grammy Awards moments before they noticed all eyes were on them, RadarOnline.com has learned.

In a now-viral clip shared on social media, the Hustlers actress and her husband of nearly seven months appeared to be having a tense exchange while Trevor Noah was hosting the ceremony.

Bennifer tied the knot last summer on July 16. After eloping in Sin City, they had a second ceremony at his Georgia estate for friends, family, and loved ones to attend.

In the video, JLo can be seen telling her counterpart "no drinking" during the star-studded event held at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 5.

Moments after their quick conversation, she spotted the cameras pointed directly at them and gave a blank expression before smiling and laughing at Noah's jokes.

"Producers are so messy for this but I love it," one viewer sounded off via TikTok. "Everyone acting like they've never had a moment like this with their significant other," another wrote.

"Jennifer Garner at home eating popcorn like … Girlllllll he's your problem now," a third quipped, referring to his ex whom he was married to from 2005 to 2018.

Maybe he's just got resting grumpy face.
