Lo’s level of fame, while probably exciting to many, isn’t exactly his cup of tea.

Jennifer Lopez’s fame is “f…n’ bananas”

With Jennifer Lopez being a huge music and acting star, it’s no surprise that fans are a little excited to see her in public. Affleck recounted a recent family outing to New York’s Times Square with their blended family. This includes his three children with Jennifer Garner, Violet (18), Seraphina (15) and Samuel (12), as well as Lopez’s twins, Max and Emme, from her marriage to Marc Anthony.

“We got out of the car, we were going to see a play and I was like, ‘Damn, baby, we’re going to be late, we have to walk a block and a half.’ (Lopez) told me, ‘All right,’ she didn’t say anything,” he said. Affleck continued: “We went out with her, all the kids, through Times Square, and that. ‘was like fn’ bananas.'”

The Hollywood celebrity, however, didn’t shed light on marriage issues or separate housing choices, likely because the interview was conducted before separation and divorce rumors began circulating in Tinseltown. He explained why he always appears “grumpy” in front of the cameras and paparazzi, contrasting with JLO, who absolutely enjoys it.

For a long time, Affleck’s “grumpy” and “down” behavior was linked to rumors of their separation or trouble in paradise. However, a close friend later revealed that he just didn’t like cameras, and it turned out they were right. Affleck directly addressed these facial expressions, stating that he sometimes looks frustrated in paparazzi photos because he’s “a little shy.”

“I don’t like a lot of attention. That’s why people see me and ask, “Why is this guy always angry?” Because someone had their camera pointed at my face, and I was like, ‘OK, here we go,'” the Hollywood star said.
