He should be a paid spokesman for Dunkin’ by now, I see him with it more often than not, it’s like he’s addicted to Dunkin’s specifically
Jeez must be hell dealing with paparazzi
Honestly, I kind of hate these memes for this reason, I emphasize deeply with his emotional state, which is why I know I would hate being photographed every time I feel like that. Just let the man just live his life.
I don't get posts like this -- his expression matches nearly every other 40+ white dude minding his own business that I've ever seen. These pics/posts have strong "you should smile more" energy
Don't take pics of random people minding their own business and post them on the internet without consent?
Exactly. Don’t judge me and my RBF.
Why are you talking to me like that. This is my smile.
It really has to do a number on the brain to be so justifiably paranoid at all times.
That pic of Jonah Hill comes to mind, where he's just absolutely not having it when he thinks someone is running up and recording him, and then relaxes when he realizes it's Dicaprio.
And then you realize that the moment was captured on camera, so he actually was being surveilled at that exact moment.
A lot of celebrities are just terrible humans, but surely at least part of that is from the influence of being surrounded and surveilled by equally terrible people at all times. Not an excuse, just a sad observation.
The video, for those wondering. You can hear the camera shutters going crazy the whole clip (gross)
Ben, you should smile more. You look prettier when you smile.
Is..is he okay? Like genuinely?
Are the [broad group]s okay?
[broad group] has not been okay since [the thing] happened.
Who cares. He's an over rated douchebag.
Right. As opposed to you, who is clearly a stellar example of empathy and humanity.
So I am supposed to care about a sex predator apologist?
Oh that dang empathy.
Yeah it's much easier taking the internet's word for something and just letting it define your entire personality than actually interacting with the real world, isn't it?
Uh, in interviews he said he had no idea what was really going on. Then it came out that he did know what was going on and was even on Weinstein's "red flag" list, for fear he would talk to reporters.
That is not internet rumor, that is easily confirmable public knowledge.
You clearly refuse to do any actual research and just want to believe what you want to believe.
*Edit: Your celebrity suck up is embarrassing.
I think you're the one who needs to do some research, cause that's not even close to reality. He said he knew Weinstein was sleezy, then 1 person said they went crying to Affleck after something happened with Weinstein, which resulted in people like YOU claiming this means Affleck knew he was raping people. Then that same person (Rose McGowan) clarified in an interview that she never meant to imply she told Affleck she was raped or anything like that, she said "It's just more to illustrate the point of this continual thing of everybody knowing and everybody being part of it, unwittingly or proactively." which Affleck flat out agreed with, the point being that hundreds if not thousands of people knew Weinstein was sketchy and weren't collectively saying anything (until they were).
And to illustrate the point of this meme and why people think you're an asshole this also bears mentioning: "Affleck has both anxiety and depression, and has taken antidepressants since age 26. He is a recovering alcoholic and follows a 12-step program. He said he used alcohol to alleviate a constant feeling of "discomfort" and remarked that it "took me a long time to fundamentally, deeply, without a hint of doubt, admit to myself that I am an alcoholic." There is a history of addiction and mental illness in Affleck's family."
To be clear, I don't think anyone here is a celebrity suck up. They're just empathetic humans seeing other humans struggle and wanting them to be OK or see how we can help. It's the human condition, we shouldn't discourage that.
Separately Ben Affleck may or may not be a shitty human being if what you said was true, but in the moment he still showed he was a depressed human, and other humans want to help. Not because they're sycophants, but because they're good people who want to help.
I think he’s been going through some kind of divorce.
If true, that would explain the pictures. That is the face of "I can't deal with ::waves arms at everything:: this, right now."
Hear me out. Next Gen "reboot" ala Strange new worlds where Affleck is an older Riker nearing the end of his command of the Titan.
You know what. I think Star Trek may be what he needs in life. The community and fambase coupled with a supporting cast he could have an extremely quiet and happy career.
Preach! I would love old Affleck as a Star Trek Starship Captain.
He could Bakula this bitch up for sure
And all this time, I thought it was JLo making him that unhappy. Maybe he just has resting sad face.
This is definitely a thing, and I am so tired of people asking me what's wrong.
I have resting horny face.
Every time we see him it's like he's ready to check himself into a mental hospital. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Just an observation.
