Ben Affleck looking bored out of his mind at the Grammys is already a major contender for meme of the year and the story behind has become even better thanks to this story from TikToker @almostannna, who sat next to the couple during the event.

Turns out that J Lo actually looked at her phone during the ceremony and realised that Ben was becoming a meme in real time, excitedly telling her husband only for him to become even more annoyed as a result of it. You can see the TikTok below or just read about it underneath that:

@almostannna Replying to @canadiansupernova #greenscreen this is prob the funniest story i have it was so silly. Feeling overhelmed by this attention so im gonna take a break from all of this, i shared the big things and the how-to but all this attention is a lot haha 🙂 I answered all the important questions already, good luck guys! Hear about it more on @hitqldbreakfast tonight! #seatfiller #grammys ♬ Selfcare-demo – Bella Moulden

I sat next to Ben Affleck at the Grammys. Me and my seat filler friend Jake and Ben Affleck was right there.

I was next to them for a good bit, that was my favorite seat because I was right in front of Beyonce… So I didn’t know the meme about Ben Affleck being upset at awards shows, like I didn’t know that was a thing, and we also didn’t talk to them because Ben Affleck didn’t look happy so I didn’t want to talk to him and be like, ‘Oh my God, Good Will Hunting is one of my favorite movies! You’re my hero!'”

I was just so lucky to be next to them! The whole time they were cute and s**t… JLo showed Ben Affleck the phone and was like, ‘Oh my God, honey, look at this meme circulating about you!

And he was like, ‘Oh God, this again’. Like, he knew during the performance that he was a meme!

Like, he knew, and he also chose just not to change his expression! Like I love how unbothered that is!

So I know that she was like on her phone and saw it and was like, “Honey, this is so funny, look at this.” And he was like, “Jesus Christ.”

But they were super lovey dovey, like their hands were always intertwined. I don’t know how to describe it.

But they just were! So it wasn’t like, “Oh my God, this is going to lead to divorce!” Like, they were cute!’

That’s so funny that Ben Affleck is just like ‘ugh not again’ when he turns into a meme. I know it sounds kinda dumb but I always think that those big celebrities don’t really care about becoming memes because they have so much money or whatever, so it’s great that they’re just like me and you.

Even better that Ben Affleck didn’t even alter his behaviour after hearing about it and if anything acted more like a meme afterwards. What a gift.
