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 Plumbs New Depths of Existential Despair (The Cut)

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

Our guy just had to sit there and pretend that Trevor Noah was being funny when he [shoehorned](https://nypost.com/2023/02/06/trevor-noah-jokes-about-prince-harrys-frostbitten-penis-at-grammys/) topical jokes about [Prince Harry’s penis](https://www.thecut.com/2023/01/prince-harry-frozen-penis.html) into his hosting bit, and who is that good of an actor? I don’t say this very often but respect to Ben Affleck for refusing to participate in the Grammys-are-fun charade and for attempting just one quarter-hearted grimace at J.Lo’s apparent urging. [finished a long shift at Dunkin’](https://www.thecut.com/2023/01/ben-affleck-dunkin-donuts-commercial.html) when J.Lo packed him into the limo; maybe he yearned for a cigarette; maybe it is simply that the Grammys began for the couple (who skipped the red carpet) around 8 p.m. Taylor Swift, meanwhile, [spent most of the evening dancing](https://twitter.com/wae_al9/status/1622581217487880196) and [looked like she was having a good time](https://www.vulture.com/2023/02/grammys-taylor-swift-photos.html#_ga=2.235913991.720008797.1675693794-1027086509.1675693794). [Lizzo made a big entrance in a flowered cape](https://www.thecut.com/2023/02/the-best-wackiest-and-most-tin-man-looks-from-the-grammys.html), won Record of the Year, and brought down the Crypto.com Arena with a [pop-gospel fusion performance](https://variety.com/2023/music/news/lizzo-grammys-performance-about-damn-time-special-1235512000/). I think we can all agree, this is way too long to be at a work function, even when the work function is sort of a party, and especially when the work function is your spouse’s.
