In this day and age, you’d be hard-pressed to locate a solitary moment where Ben Affleck isn’t making a face of pure grimace. Then again, when you’ve become an international meme more times than you can even count, it should hardly come as a surprise whenever the acclaimed performer is caught looking completely unamused in public. And just when you thought Affleck’s obvious annoyance at the 2023 Grammys was him going full method as Bruce Wayne, it turns out a recent paparazzi occurrence is the most proof we need to witness his real-life transformation into the character.
The aforementioned moment was shared via Twitter, where a recent TikTok showcased Affleck and wife Jennifer Lopez heading to their car. In the clip, Affleck is seen opening the passenger door for his wife before dramatically slamming it shut and strutting away with an iced coffee in hand. Now if that doesn’t scream Bostonian, then we don’t know what does. You can check out the post for yourself down below:
As the viral clip continues to make its rounds all over Twitter, captions such as “that man looks STRESSED” and “the way he slammed the door shut?” have accompanied the incident. But in typical Affleck fashion, there’s simply no denying that his frustration came from the paparazzi recording an otherwise tame moment of him and his wife simply getting in their car together.
Truth be told, a situation such as this one would surely annoy anybody. And considering Bruce Wayne’s canon disinterest in the public and a strong preference to keep to himself, Affleck’s body language in this specific clip makes his real-life transformation all the more possible.
