By Actor Ben Affleck recently sat down with comedian Kevin Hart for a revealing interview on Hart’s Peacock chat show, “Hart to Heart.” The Oscar winner opened up about various aspects of his life, including the intense fame surrounding his wife, Jennifer Lopez, and the challenges of navigating their blended family in the public eye.
Affleck marveled at Lopez’s impact on her fans, recounting a chaotic experience in New York’s Times Square where the family was mobbed by enthusiastic admirers. He described the scene as “f**kin’ bananas,” highlighting the stark contrast between his own level of fame and that of his superstar wife.
The actor also addressed the public perception of his often stoic or seemingly unhappy expression in paparazzi photos, commonly referred to as “resting b**ch face.” Affleck explained, “I’m a little bit shy. I don’t like a lot of attention,” and clarified that his expression is more of a “resting hard face” in response to the constant presence of cameras.
Affleck expressed concern about how his and Lopez’s fame affects their children’s lives, admitting that it “breaks my heart” when his kids face difficulties due to their parents’ public status. However, he also acknowledged that their current lifestyle offers advantages compared to his own upbringing.
The interview comes amid ongoing speculation about the couple’s relationship. Recent reports have suggested marital troubles, with sources claiming the pair are living apart but trying to “fix things.” Despite these rumors, Affleck and Lopez have continued to present a united front in public appearances.
As Affleck navigates life in the spotlight with Lopez, he remains focused on his role as a father and the well-being of their blended family. The actor’s candid discussion with Hart offers a rare glimpse into the complexities of managing fame, family, and public perception in Hollywood.
