A video of Ben Affleck slamming the car door for Jennifer Lopez is going viral on social media.
Users have been saying it fuels online theories that Affleck is constantly in a bad mood.
A clip of Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Lopez is going viral, as online users add to their theory that the actor is always in a grumpy mood.
The footage was first uploaded on May 10 by the celebrity news and video website The Hollywood Fix. It showed Affleck and Lopez walking towards a car, with Affleck opening the door for Lopez. Once she got in, Affleck appeared to lightly slam the door closed with the swing of his arm, and as he walked around to his side of the car, he looked toward the paparazzi cameraman, appearing to frown.
The outlet titled the clip “Ben Affleck Slams The Car Door In Jennifer Lopez’s Face While Out Running Errands In A Bad Mood,” on its YouTube channel.
TikTok and Twitter users have since reuploaded the clip on their respective platforms, where they have gone viral and received millions of cumulative views.
Several of these users have speculated the short clip is somehow an indication of the couple’s relationship, adding to ongoing theories about their marriage which have thrived online in spite of numerous positive statements both celebrities have made about it.
Other users have argued that the clip shows Affleck’s dislike for being followed by paparazzi.
“He just wants some privacy and to be treated like a normal human being. Why can’t people just say hello and have a good day without putting a camera and microphone on their face?” one user wrote under a version of the clip that has been viewed 29 million times on Twitter.
Many users have pointed out that Affleck’s facial expressions have previously gone viral, sparking memes out of photos and videos where he appears to look annoyed. In 2016, a picture of him smoking and appearing to frown taken by the paparazzi became a viral meme used by people discussing weariness and feeling fed up.
The now-viral clip of Affleck and Lopez appears to have become the latest of Affleck-related memes, and users have been comparing themselves to their perception of him in the clip, calling him a “mood” — an internet slang term used to refer to a person or action that is relatable — and saying they identify with his seemingly constant grumpiness.
Though online theories hold to the perception that Affleck is always moody, the actor stated on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in March that it is a “common misconception” that he’s never enjoying himself at events because he has a “very unhappy-looking resting face.”
Last year, in an interview with the LA Times, the actor also addressed a hugely popular meme of his face during a 2016 press junket which became known as “Sad Affleck,” saying he found it “funny” but was concerned about how it might affect his children.
“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.”

Affleck has acted professionally since he was a child and broke out into mainstream fame after the release of “Good Will Hunting” in 1997, which he co-wrote and starred in with Matt Damon. His most recent cinematic appearance was in the biographical sports drama “Air,” where he played Phil Knight, the CEO of shoe brand Nike during its years of vying for relevancy in the basketball world before it struck a deal with Michael Jordan over his now-bestselling line of Air Jordan shoes.
In 2005, Affleck married fellow actress Jennifer Garner, and the couple had three children together. They divorced in 2018, and Affleck married Lopez in July 2022, having originally dated her in the early 2000s after they both starred in the 2001 comedy “Gigli” together.
Representatives for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
