JON KOPALOFF/GETTY

It seems that Ben is also one of us, so a man with emotions! The actor who recently became the inspiration for the viral Internet meme "Sad Affleck" is reacting to a public perception of his angry attitude in paparazzi photos.

"I'm a little shy," Ben told host Kevin Hart during the fourth season of Peacock's Hart to Heart. "But I also don't really like the attention. That's why people look at me and say, 'Why is this guy always upset?' Because someone walks in front of me and shoves a camera in my face to take a picture of me," adds the actor.

But there is another reason why he appears upset in paparazzi photos. Ben wants to protect his family at all costs, especially the children he has with ex-partner Jennifer Garner, Violet, Seraphina and Samuel, as well as Jennifer Lopez's twins Max and Emme.

"This situation also happens to me when I'm with my kids and the paparazzi take pictures of me," Affleck added. "Actually, I don't want anything. People can take pictures of me when I'm in a club, at a movie premiere, with my wife walking, but not anywhere alone or with the kids," the actor emphasized.

However, the 51-year-old admitted that even his family members, who often ask him to change this attitude, have pointed out the detail of boredom in the photos.

The latest comments come after all the rumors that are circulating in the world media about a possible separation between him and Jennifer Lopez, while the latter was photographed in Italy where she started a few days of vacation without Ben.
