In a new interview with the Los Angeles Times, Ben Affleck opened up about his public perception, specifically how his kids have been impacted by the media’s depiction of him. Affleck recalled some “really good advice” that a therapist once gave him about how to deal with criticism. “This was 2003 or 2004 and I was really struggling,” the two-time Academy Award winner explained. But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the Internet themselves, that’s the difficult part.”Affleck went on to address the “Sad Affleck” meme, which went viral in 2016 after an interview the actor gave with his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice co-star Henry Cavill. “Even the ‘Sad Affleck’ meme – that was funny to me,” he recalled.
