Memes, videos, comments, posts and emojis of Ben Affleck’s “happy face” have flooded the internet and social media. All he had to do was look disinterested.
Ben Affleck’s “happy face” became an internet sensation after he was caught on camera with his wife, Jennifer Lopez (a/k/a JLo) at the Grammy Awards ceremony looking very bored.
JLo cracked a joke about her new hubby’s now famous “happy face” during a recent Instagram post talking about his new film “Air.”
The trailer of Affleck’s upcoming film “Air” was released on Thursday, February 9, and JLo went on Instagram to share a movie preview. She added some comments of her own.
Before the movie trailer started playing in the Instagram post, JLo added an image of Affleck as his character in the film, Philip Knight, the co-founder of Nike, Inc., along with a caption introducing people to her husband’s “happy face,” made famous at the Grammy Awards Sunday, February 5.
Affleck was the talk of the town (and the internet) during the Grammy Awards, with people speculating about why he had a stone face and didn’t seem to be enjoying the ceremony.
They wonder if he was forced to go because JLo was a presenter at the award show, presenting Harry Styles with the Grammy Award for the best pop vocal album.
Affleck’s bored expression and the appearance that he would much rather have been somewhere else led to JLo’s cute Instagram post.
Affleck’s new movie “Air” is about the multimillion-dollar company Nike and its sports marketing executive’s deal with basketball legend Michael Jordan to launch his now-famous sneakers and Nike best sellers, Air Jordans, in the 1980s.
The cast includes Matt Damon playing Sonny Vaccaro, Nike’s Sports Marketing Executive, and Academy Award-winning actress Viola Davis as Deloris, Michael Jordan’s mom.
Other award-winning actors, including Chris Tucker, Jason Bateman, Marlon Wayans, and Gustaf Skarsgard are also in the film, which premieres on April 5.
In the end, Affleck’s embarrassing “happy face” proved to be good publicity for his new film.
