Ben Affleck recently opened up about his wife Jennifer Lopez's immense fame and the overwhelming attention they receive when out in public together.

During an interview on "Hart to Heart," Affleck shared a humorous anecdote about a family outing to a play in New York City where they were swarmed by fans due to Lopez's star power.

“People love her, and she really represents something important to people,” Affleck, 51, told Kevin Hart during the season 4 premiere of his Peacock talk show, Hart to Heart, on Thursday, June 20. “[To me,] people are like, ‘Hey, I like your movie,’ and then they’re like ‘AAAHHHH! J-LO!,’ It’s amazing, you know what I mean?”

He described the scene as "f---ing bananas," highlighting the stark contrast between his own level of recognition and Lopez's overwhelming popularity.

Affleck admitted that he prefers to keep a low profile, especially when it comes to his children. However, he's less bothered by the attention when accompanying Lopez to events.
