People noted Affleck and Lopez sat with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his wife, Lauren Hashian.
Last year, Affleck spoke out about how he previously struggled with criticism he received in the early 2000s.
“I got to a place where (the public perception) was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring,” Affleck said at the time.
He added, “But then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that’s the difficult part. Even the ‘Sad Affleck’ meme – that was funny to me. I mean, there’s nobody who hasn’t felt that way at a junket. 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.”
