TikToker @AlmostAnna had a prime seat to witness how Affleck's grumpy mood only got worse after Jennifer Lopez told him he was a meme.

Ben Affleck's grumpy expression at the Grammy's on Sunday resulted in him becoming a rapidly-spreading meme.

The internet was so obsessed, in fact, that Daily Mail commissioned a lip reader to reveal the terse conversation Jennifer Lopez and her hubby mumbled to each other unknowingly in view of the camera.


Reportedly, it went something like this:

"J.Lo: 'Stop. Look more friendly. Look motivated.'"
"Ben: 'I might.'"

But while we thought we were stealthy and sly with our quickly-generated memes, it turns out that Affleck actually knew the memes were circulating while he was still at the Grammys, all thanks to his wife.

According to TikToker @AlmostAnna, who was a seat filler at the couple's table, Lopez showed Affleck the memes with his bored expression during the awards show.

The creator Anna revealed that the two were actually very "lovey dovey" and holding hands the entire time even though Affleck's expression didn't change much.

She then shared the moment Affleck found out he had gone viral.

"J.Lo showed Ben Affleck the phone and was like, 'Oh my god honey look at this meme circulating about you.'"

You can watch Anna recount the moment below.

Anna also shared that the new information did not help make Affleck's expression any better.

"[Ben] was like, 'Oh god this again.'"

Yes, poor Affleck has been the face of a few viral memes in the past.

'Sad Affleck' had its moment during the Batman v Superman era, both from the movie and his promotion of it.

And who can forget the Affleck smoking meme?

However they appeared on camera, however, didn't change the fact that they had a nice night.

Lopez took to Instagram to share highlights from the night, captioning her post:

"Always the best time with my love, my husband."

We're glad everything is fine with the couple... and that Affleck has a sense of humor about it all.

Marvel Just Confirmed That Chris Evans Is Returning For 'Avengers: Doomsday'—And Fans Have Mixed Feelings

Folks, once again, continuity is more of a suggestion than a rule in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel has officially confirmed that Chris Evans is returning as Steve Rogers in Avengers: Doomsday, and the internet has responded exactly how you’d expect: screaming, celebrating, arguing, and a very justified side-eye toward how Sam Wilson keeps getting treated.

The confirmation comes via a teaser now playing exclusively in theaters ahead of Avatar: Fire and Ash. There is no official online release, despite leaks circulating. If you didn’t catch it on the big screen, Marvel’s response is essentially: sorry, guess you had to be there.
