Can we just leave Ben Affleck alone? In defense of Resting Ben ... (USA TODAY)

There seemed to be just one thing on the lips – or fingertips – of the Twittersphere following Sunday's Grammy Awards: Ben Affleck's Resting Ben Face.

"But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that’s the difficult part. [of the 2023 Grammy Awards, from Harry Styles' superfan to a stunned Lizzo](https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/music/2023/02/06/2023-grammy-highlights-best-moments/11193610002/) I'm just not wearing makeup today. But for me that wit is eclipsed when you recognize the the target is a real person. Maybe he was miserable. It's not the first time Affleck's face has been so scrutinized.

A mask of unadorned misery: how Ben Affleck became the world's ... (The Guardian)

In pictures from the Grammys, the superstar once again looks exhausted and overwhelmed. His expression speaks for us all.

Of course, it helps that all of the Affleck memes are, situationally speaking, absolutely correct. And, of course, Affleck looked like that at the Grammys. That is the service that Affleck provides. For a man of his stature to simply be bored with the spoils that surround him would be plainly obnoxious. That Affleck is gone. He looks like someone who has successfully disassociated from everything surrounding him, like someone who would rather retreat to the comforting vortex of his own mind than indulge in any of the revelry.

Ben Affleck attended the 2023 Grammys and hated every minute of it, to judge from photos of his anguished mug. Honestly this is understandable.

All eyes were on Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez at the Grammys, where they exchanged words not realising the camera was on them.

One person said he looked as though he was at a wedding where he didn’t know anyone but his wife and everyone else was drunk. During Stevie Wonder and Chris Stapleton’s performance of Higher Ground, Lopez is seen dancing to the music, while her husband looks unimpressed, only slightly bopping his head while staring blankly at the stage. At one point the cameras were on him and Lopez when host Trevor Noah was beside them.

And while we're asking why someone was there, Ben Affleck turned himself into an unwanted internet star when the camera panned to him in the audience and it seemed like he'd rather be anywhere else. There's enough musical firepower in the room that would surely relish the opportunity to present an award. At least the outgoing talk show host noted the incongruity of him giving an award for dance and electronic music. In accepting a Grammy for her duet on Sam Smith's "Unholy," Kim Petras proudly took note of her status as a transgender woman and paid tribute to heroes like the late transgender singer Sophie and Madonna. She's been nominated eight times for record of the year, and never won. Beyoncé has won only one of those awards, when "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" was named top song in 2010. It was a night it seemed the Grammys finally accepted rap as music's dominant form. The 15-minute Questlove-curated travel through time was a joy that brought dozens of stars to the stage, including Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, Ice T, Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, Method Man, Salt-N-Pepa ... It was only four years ago that song of the year winner Childish Gambino boycotted the show over perceived disrespect for rap.

'Ben Affleck, you're an actor. Next time, act like you want to be there' (9Honey)

"Ben Affleck, you're an actor. Next time, act like you want to be there." Shelly Horton reacts to the star'...

And if he continues to act like that, I wouldn't be surprised if they're heading to Splitsville. Except that one time he fell asleep during the incredibly dynamic and loud "You ain't never had a friend like me" musical number in Aladdin. It's at this point I'd like to remind everyone if you silently mouth the word "café" to someone, it looks like you're saying "get f--ked". He's not going to cause a scene. Act like you want to be there. Affleck was embarrassing his wife, and himself, on a world stage, so I'm sorry, but don't waste the hashtag on #SaveBen. I hope she tore him a new one when they got home because, really, that behaviour is not OK. I don't think he could have one glass. "You can see his batteries draining in real time. He looked petulant. The newlyweds were looking anything but loved-up at music's night of nights. He looked bored.
