LOS ANGELES — Ben Affleck attended the 65th Grammy Awards arguably for the sake of Twitter, which could not get enough of the Oscar winner's "I'd rather be anywhere else" reaction shots during Sunday's telecast.
The "Gone Girl" star accompanied his wife, actor-singer Jennifer Lopez, to the ceremony and, due to the power couple's prime seating inside Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena, were seen throughout the night reacting to performances, speeches and quips. But Affleck — no stranger to memes of exasperation — appeared disengaged in the background of host Trevor Noah's frequent roaming monologues and bored or "miserable" during performances throughout the night, much to the delight of social media.
"Someone please check on Ben Affleck #GRAMMYs," tweeted the Chicks in the Office account.
