Ben Affleck
While women often face the brunt of body criticism, men aren’t entirely immune, as Ben Affleck discovered. After his split from Jennifer Garner, a photo emerged of Ben standing alone, looking out at the sea.
Rather than leave it at that, the media spun a narrative that he was sad and spiraling into depression, dubbing him “Sad Ben.” They even suggested that he had let himself go and put on weight. All this from one contemplative moment by the ocean? It seems even men can’t escape the pressure to appear perfect at all times.
