‘He has issues’: Internet disagrees as Jennifer Lopez defends Ben Affleck's grumpy facial expressions

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Songstress Jennifer Lopez is setting the record staright: Ben Affleck is happy! JLo responded to the Internet's fixation on her spouse's expressive face by saying that her husband Ben is "doing alright".

During her interview with Entertainment Tonight on Sunday, January 7, 2024, Lopez addressed a query over Ben's seemingly melancholy look in certain images of the couple.

The singer and actress wore a stunning pastel pink gown to the 81st Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and her husband Ben Affleck strolled the red carpet separately. In another instance, Lopez responded to a question whether her marriage to Ben would be her "last", with poise and good humor from the interviewer.

'Ben is doing alright!'

When questioned about her 51-year-old spouse during her Sunday apperance at the Golden Globes, the 54-year-old performer reassured everyone that there was nothing to worry about.

"Why are people always worried about what face Ben has on?" Kevin Frazier of Entertainment Tonight questioned, bringing up old, unguarded photos of the 'Air' actor. "Like if Ben walks out the house..."

"Ben is doing alright!" JLo laughed in response. "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. He's like, "I'm chilling, I don’t understand what people are pressed for'," Lopez asserted.

Before bursting into giggles, JLo continued, "They don't pick up on my face."

The singer faced another unpleasant question regarding their marriage on the red carpet while talking about her husband at that particular moment.

She was questioned about how she knew her marriage with Ben would be her last in an interview with Variety. "How do you know your last wedding is it?" the reporter questioned.

"Because when they say, 'You know,' you know," she shot back.

Internet reacts as JLo breaks silence about Ben Aflleck's ultra-expressive face

Fans flocked to the online platform Facebook to express their opinions on Lopez's statement about her husband's ultra-expressive face.

One user commented, "Ben Affleck seems like a guy who doesn't find any meaning in anything in life. He is kind of a guy who only operates when he is under influence of something."

A second one added, "Looks like same problem they had first time around," while a third one chimed in, "He looks like he has issues."

"She always trying to make all look like everything is perfect until her crappy-acting goes down the drain....Even when she smiles is all fake...." seethed another one.

One more commented, "That man has *miserable" written all over his face," while another one added, "That's a show of aggression speaking to someone that close. Time for a break I think."

"Ben always looks exasperated," said one more, with another one claiming, "I’m sure she is very controlling!"

Ben Aflleck's ultra-expressive appearances

For actors, having a highly expressive face is a bit of a job benefit, but Ben Affleck's sour face expressions manage to become memes more than anyone else's.

Ben's face has been on social media feeds while he smokes and looks depressed, ponders the meaning of life while holding a gigantic Dunkin' iced coffee, joyfully communes with more Dunkin, looks out at the huge and unknown Atlantic Ocean, and many more.

Ben amusing expressions became viral in December 2023 after pictures of him and Lopez going Christmas shopping with their mothers appeared online. A notable incident occurred when the 'Good Will Hunting' actor kissed Lopez and glanced down at his phone.

A week later, when shopping at St. Barts boutiques, the pair seemed to be having a heated conversation. Ben proceeded to furrow his brow while capturing a picture of his songstress wife, per the New York Post.

Ben gained notoriety for sitting next to Lopez at the Grammy Awards in February 2023 and acting as though he was an elite dissociator. According to lip readers, Lopez even advised him to "look more friendly, look motivated," per Vanity Fair.

According to reports, Lopez was "over it" during the Grammy Awards since she was fully aware of the conversation surrounding her husband's face and his apparent introspective examination of the meaning of life and the depths of time.
