Ben Affleck Closely Controlling Facial Expression While Watching Trailer For New Jennifer Lopez Movie

LOS ANGELES—Maintaining a neutral smile with a slightly furrowed brow to ensure it looked like he was really taking in the sights and sounds, Ben Affleck reportedly kept close control over his facial expression Thursday while watching the trailer for the new Jennifer Lopez movie, This Is Me…Now. “Looks super awesome, sweetie—I really mean that,” said the 51-year-old actor, turning to give a supportive thumbs-up and well-practiced smile any time she appeared on screen, while internally focusing on all the ways his expression might be interpreted if he even slightly moved his face. “It’s totally you, babe. Like, it’s a movie, but it also has music—I get it! It’s your Lemonade, but so much better, obviously, and I have no doubt at all that it will be received that way by the public. I liked the part where you were literally repairing your giant steampunk CGI heart. Metaphor is so dope. Oh, look, you put my name in the credits, that’s so generous of you.” At press time, Affleck had reported that his computer battery was super low, so as much as he wanted to watch it again, it would have to wait.
