Ben Affleck explains why he looked miserable at the Grammys

foxnews.com:

Ben Affleck is sharing the real story behind his viral Grammy moments earlier this year. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said he did have a "good time" at the event while sitting next to his wife, Jennifer Lopez, despite claims to the contrary from the internet.

He did admit to trying to avoid being on camera for a skit with host Trevor Noah, but that was what ended up catching people's attention. "I saw [Noah] and I was like, ‘Oh, God,’" Affleck said. "They were framing us in this shot, but I didn’t know they were rolling.

I leaned into her [Jennifer Lopez], and I was like, ‘As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.’ She goes, ‘You better f---ing not leave.’ That’s a husband-and-wife thing." Their interaction went viral after the Grammy host sat next to Lopez, pretending to be on the phone with his mom after Sam Smith’s controversial performance.

During the bit, Lopez was seen patting Affleck on the chest after they had been whispering to each other. Many took it as the superstar scolding Affleck somehow, but it was apparently nothing of the sort, according to Affleck.
