A Ben Affleck smoke meme has once again made headlines. This comes after the actor was photographed taking a cigarette break outside Hollywood’s Sunset Tower Hotel. Dressed in a three-piece suit with his shirt slightly unbuttoned, Affleck looked relaxed. The candid moment quickly went viral, with fans drawing comparisons to previous images of the star.
Ben Affleck becomes meme again with another cigarette photo
Ben Affleck has once again sparked online attention after being photographed smoking outside the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood. The actor, who was dressed in a three-piece suit with his top buttons undone, was seen leaning back and taking a drag from his cigarette. The image quickly drew comparisons to his previous viral “Sad Affleck” memes.
The photos, taken on Monday night, show Affleck standing outside the popular Los Angeles venue, appearing distracted. At one point, he tilted his head back and looked upward as he took a drag, while holding the cigarette in his mouth without using his hands. Images of Affleck’s smoke break were soon shared widely online.
Affleck’s smoking habit has been a topic of discussion among fans ever since he was photographed looking visibly tired while smoking in 2016. The picture became one of the internet’s most widely shared photographs, known as the “Sad Affleck” meme. In a 2022 interview with The Los Angeles Times, Affleck addressed the viral meme, saying that he personally found it “funny.” However, he was concerned about the impact such images might have on his children.
He said, “But then my kids see it and I think, ‘Oh, are they going to think their dad is fundamentally sad or they have to worry about me?’ That’s really tough.”
Just a few weeks earlier, Affleck unintentionally revived the “Sad Affleck” meme when he was photographed waiting for his car at a valet stand, cigarette in mouth, and looking lost in thought.
