Recently, the man, the myth, the meme Ben Affleck, gave an interview about his public perception — including the “Sad Affleck” meme — and how he's worried about his kids’ reactions.

Yahoo! Hello darkness my old friend. "I got to a place where [the public perception] was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring," Ben told the Los Angeles Times. "But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that’s the difficult part."

Yahoo! However, Ben went on to admit that he did get concerned that his kids might take the memes literally, saying: “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.”

That’s one thing I learned.”
