People Can’t Stop Talking About Ben Affleck’s Bored Facial Expressions at the 2023 Grammys

The 2023 Grammy Awards were filled with so many unforgettable moments that we still can’t stop talking about, including Beyoncé’s history-making wins and Lizzo’s touching speech. But, if we had to choose one of our favorite parts of the awards ceremony, it would have to be the facial expressions actor Ben Affleck, 50, made throughout the night.

Last night, Jennifer Lopez, 53,  and her hubby were among the many celebs to attend one of the biggest nights in music. During the awards ceremony, the Marry Me star stunned in a shimmery navy blue Gucci gown while her beau sported a black suit with a white button-down shirt and a matching tie. 

Shortly after the awards show ended, numerous clips of Affleck's “Resting B*tch Face” started going viral on Twitter.

In one video clip (reposted by @amsi81), everyone (including his wife J.Lo.) is seen jamming out to a tribute performance dedicated to the legendary artist Stevie Wonder. But when the camera pans to Affleck, he’s nodding his head with a straight poker face.

Social media users had a lot to say about Affleck’s face on Twitter. One said, “How is it possible Ben Affleck looks joyless during a Grammy tribute to Stevie Wonder?!!!!!” Another chimed in and said, “Never seen a man with more of an ‘Existential Dread Resting Face’ than Ben Affleck.”

Ahhh, Ben. It just wasn’t your night, huh?
