Summary
Ben Affleck’s face stole the show at Sunday’s Grammys. While attending the star-studded event as wife Jennifer Lopez’s plus-one, Ben quickly became an internet meme - in real time - after he was spotted on-camera looking bored, unhappy and like he’d rather be anywhere else. Since then, J-Lo’s been in total spin mode, posting an Instagram reel of them living it up at the Grammys, and even poking fun at her hubby’s “happy face." And now, a seat filler at the Grammys (who sat next to Ben and Jen!) is chiming in with her firsthand account of what she says really happened. So was something going on, or was this just a case of Mr. Affleck having "resting Ben face?"
