“I leaned into her and I was like, ‘As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.’”
“You better f***ing not leave,” Lopez then warned him as he looked miserable on camera.
Affleck said he “didn’t keep up” with what was going on during the Grammys. “My wife does, obviously. And yeah, it is your wife’s work event.”
But overall he admitted he “had a good time at the Grammys”.
“My wife was going, and I thought, ‘Well, there’ll be good music. It might be fun.’”
But Lopez seems to be used to her husband’s resting face, recently making fun of his “happy face” in a trailer for his newest movie Air.
Affleck has been to countless award shows and been “drunk a bunch. Nobody ever once said I’m drunk”.
“[But at the Grammys] they were like, ‘He’s drunk.’ And I thought that’s interesting. That raises a whole other thing about whether or not it’s wise to acknowledge addiction because there’s a lot of compassion, but there is still a tremendous stigma, which is often quite inhibiting.”
Affleck has struggled with alcohol addiction in the past but has since recovered.
The star has previously appeared to blame his unhappy marriage to ex-wife Jennifer Garner for his drinking problem, claiming, “I probably still would’ve been drinking” if he was still with her.
He’s now married to Lopez, having tied the knot in July 2022. The couple co-parent five children from their previous marriages and are reportedly set to move into a US$96 million ($155m) Pacific Palisades estate.
