Ben Affleck addressed his viral Dunkin and cigarette memes during a Tuesday appearance on SubwayTakes, saying he dislikes when paparazzi photos overshadow his film career. The Oscar winning actor and director also admitted the images resonate because plenty of people know what it feels like to drag themselves through a difficult day. Host Kareem Rahma brought up the endless snapshots of Affleck carrying Dunkin bags, smoking, and looking visibly exhausted while running errands. Affleck agreed that the meme cycle can be frustrating, but he also said the images capture the relatable character of a beleaguered man who keeps moving when life gets heavy. Why Does Ben Affleck Look So Relatable? Affleck said his expression may simply read as permanently worn out, adding that the situation could be worse. Rahma said the photos feel familiar to men who see their own coffee runs, bad moods, and everyday stress reflected in Affleck’s famously exasperated face. Affleck appeared on SubwayTakes while promoting Animals, a Netflix feature that he directed, co wrote, and stars in. The Emmy nominated series became the first creator led show backed by YouTube to receive an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Short Form Comedy earlier this year, and Rahma had reportedly wanted Affleck as a guest since the show began.
