When asked whether prefers working in front of or behind the camera, Affleck says that he sees himself as more of a director, and that, in fact, he’s “a little shy.”
“I also don’t like a lot of attention,” he added, per People. “This why people see me [and] they’re like, ‘Well, this dude always mad….’ Because somebody has their camera and is sticking it in my face.” Affleck could be referring to several instances in which he was characterized as “mad,” such as when he huffily slammed his car door, or when he appeared to be in glum mood at the Grammys.
“We went somewhere with [Jennifer]—I can’t remember because she’s so famous, and she creates this…people love her. And she really represents something important to people,” Affleck explained.
“[To me,] people are like, ‘Hey, I like your movie,’ and then they’re like ‘AHHHH! J.LO!’” he continued. “It’s amazing, you know what I mean?
“I don’t mind you taking my picture at a club, a premiere, whatever. My wife, I don’t give a fuck. Go ahead. Knock yourself out. I don’t notice you,” he said before adding, “My children, that’s a different thing.”
He went on to explain an experience with the couple’s five children in which they needed to walk a short distance near Times Square. Essentially, J.Lo was mobbed.
“We get out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and the shit was like fuckin’ bananas,” he said. “I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ There was a lady, she was smoking weed, in a full purple skintight suit—she’s a heavy lady—and she starts running backwards filming, going ‘J-LO!!’ Like a herald. Then gets everyone else, they’re all tourists, whatever, just moving.
“Then I’m moving. We got, like, our five kids, me and Jen, and it’s, it’s like, it feels like hundreds of people and now screaming,” he added.
June 11, 2024: They may not be together-together, but there’s no animosity. “They’re still friendly and see each other every few days,” a source “close to Lopez” told People. This honestly tracks, as even when they were post-split the first time, they only ever said nice things about each other.
