Ben Affleck became quite popular for the sad face meme, and it looks like he is back there again. Some recent paparazzi pictures spotted him leaving a school play for one of his children. The actor was dressed quite casually and was walking towards his car when the incident happened. His expression immediately reminded fans of the “sad Aflleck” that had once gone viral.

Ben Affleck back to ‘sad Affleck meme’ era while leaving kids’ school

The Ben Affleck sad meme was highlighted once again as the actor was spotted by the paparazzi. He attended one of his kids’ plays at school and was leaving the venue when captured. The meme that had him as ‘sad Affleck’ was used widely to signal defeated moments.

In this week’s picture, Ben Affleck was wearing a relaxed jacket and neutral tones. Fans felt like this was a callback to the 2016 moment. The actor has been in the public eye for always wearing too casual and comfortable clothing that is not often seen on celebrities. This has even resulted in him not being recognized at places.

Addressing his feelings about the ‘sad Affleck’ memes, he said, “I got to a place where [the public perception] was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring. But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that’s the difficult part. Even the ‘Sad Affleck’ meme – that was funny to me. I mean, there’s nobody who hasn’t felt that way at a junket. But then my kids see it and I think, ‘Oh, are they going to think their dad is fundamentally sad or they have to worry about me?’ That’s really tough.” (via Los Angeles Times)

Affleck shares three kids with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, one of whose plays he was attending at the school. The two Hollywood stars manage to co-parent their children together after the divorce and have a good relationship.
