‘Stop, look more friendly… look motivated’: What JLo really said to Ben Affleck during tense Grammys exchange – one week after they looked strained with each other at her movie premiere
Jennifer Lopez ordered her husband Ben Affleck to make more of an effort during the Grammy Awards on Sunday night – snapping at the 50-year-old and demanding he pretend to be enjoying himself, in an embarrassing exchange caught on camera.
Lopez and Affleck, who frequently looks strained and angry when in public, were seen exchanging tense words during the ceremony, right as host Trevor Noah sat down next to them.
‘Stop,’ Lopez tells him. ‘Look more friendly. Look motivated.’ Affleck replies: ‘I might.’
The couple’s exchange was transcribed by a lipreader, commissioned by DailyMail.com.
It came after Affleck was caught on camera angrily confronting Lopez at the January 18 premiere of her film, Shotgun Wedding.
