Ben Affleck just opened up about adjusting to living with his wife’s “f*kin’ bananas” level of fame during an appearance on Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart talk show.
In an unusual move for the notoriously private actor, Affleck discussed the adjustments of being married to the pop star and divulged why he always looks so damn miserable in photos, especially when he’s been caught by the paparazzi.
The 51-year-old actor reportedly admitted that J-Lo’s level of fame, while likely thrilling to many, isn’t exactly his cup of tea, per PageSix.
“We went somewhere with [Jennifer]—I can’t remember because she’s so famous, and she creates this—people love her, and she really represents something important to people,” Affleck explained to the host.
“[To me,] people are like, ‘Hey, I like your movie,’ and then they’re like ‘AAAHHHH! J-LO!’” he yelled. “It’s amazing, you know what I mean?”
Affleck then recalled another example of her extreme fame that took place during a family trip to Times Square in New York City with their brood of children. He shares Violet, 18, Seraphina, 15, and Samuel, 12, with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, while Lopez shares 16-year-old twins Max and Emme with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
“We get out of the car, we were going to a play, and I was like, ‘F—k it, babe, we’re going to be late, we gotta walk a block and a half.’ [Lopez] was like, ‘Alright,’ she didn’t say s—t,” he shared.
“We get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the s—t was like f—n’ bananas.’”

Affleck then addressed his infamously miserable facial expressions, noting that he probably comes across as frustrated in paparazzi photos because he’s “a little bit shy”.
“I don’t like a lot of attention. This is why people see me and they’re like, ‘Why is this dude always mad?’ Because someone had their camera sticking in my face, and I’m like, ‘OK, here we go.’”
Considering this, Bennifer was never going to work out.

However, Ben didn’t touch on the state of their marriage in the interview, which was likely filmed prior to reports that the pair have been living separately, with rumours about their divorce following shortly after.
Earlier this month, they put their marital home up for sale amid Affleck’s stay in his Brentwood, California rental home. Still, the pair has a consistent visitation schedule and manages to “see each other every few days”.
