Last year, Affleck spoke out about how he previously struggled with criticism he received in the early 2000s.

ā€œI got to a place where (the public perception) was so different from who I am that I just stopped reading and stopped caring,ā€ Affleck said at the time.

He added, ā€œBut then, as my kids got older and started seeing the internet themselves, that’s the difficult part. Even the ā€˜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, ā€˜Oh, are they going to think their dad is fundamentally sad or they have to worry about me?’ That’s really tough.ā€
