Ben Affleck caught attention once again with a memorable moment outside the Sunset Tower Hotel in Hollywood, where he threw his head back while smoking a cigarette. This scene is likely to become another popular meme among internet users.
The actor's nicotine habit has fascinated online audiences since August 22, 2016, when he was seen looking weary and drained while smoking. On a recent Monday night, Affleck appeared to be seeking relief from stress as he stepped out of the Sunset Boulevard venue.

He described smoking as "part of who I was." The motivation for quitting was his wife at the time, Jennifer Garner, being pregnant with their first child, Violet Affleck. Despite this, he has since resumed smoking.
