During a recent appearance on comedian Kevin Hart’s show, “Hart to Heart,” Ben Affleck opened up about his tendency to look unhappy in public photos. The 51-year-old actor revealed that he’s actually quite shy and doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention. Affleck explained that when photographers invade his personal space, especially when he’s with his kids, it can be frustrating and lead to his serious expression. He clarified that he has no issue with having his picture taken at events or premieres, but when it comes to his private moments with his children, he values his privacy.
Hart jokingly pointed out that Affleck may have what’s known as “resting b**ch face,” to which Affleck humorously corrected to “resting hard face.” Affleck expressed that people often project their assumptions onto him, such as the misconception that he’s a frat guy, despite never having been in a fraternity. This misunderstanding of his personality has led to a disconnect between how the public perceives him and who he truly is.
While Affleck discussed his public image on Hart’s show, his wife Jennifer Lopez was enjoying a solo vacation in Italy. The couple has been navigating rumors of a split, with reports suggesting they have been living separately. Lopez and Affleck have been trying to sell their Beverly Hills estate amidst the media scrutiny surrounding their relationship.
Their love story dates back to 2002 when they first got engaged after meeting on the set of “Gigli.” However, their wedding in 2004 was called off, only for them to reunite and surprise the world with a spontaneous Las Vegas wedding in 2022. Despite their ups and downs, Lopez and Affleck have remained in the spotlight for their enduring connection.
Recently, Lopez announced the cancellation of her first tour in five years, expressing her deep disappointment in letting her fans down. She explained that the decision was necessary, and she needed to prioritize time with her children, family, and close friends. Lopez’s representatives shared that she would be taking a break to focus on her personal life before returning to the music scene.
As Affleck delved into the reasons behind his often serious demeanor, Lopez took time for herself in Italy, highlighting the complexities of balancing personal and public life in the spotlight. Their individual journeys reflect the challenges of fame, relationships, and self-expression in the entertainment industry.
