I remember reading somewhere about someone interviewing the Beatles, and how they’d heard some teenage girls refer to Ringo as “the sad Beatle,” and so the interviewer asked Ringo if he was a particularly morose or sad person and he said, “no, it’s just me face.”
My wife has a lovely face whether smiling or at rest, but sometimes when she’s fast asleep she has the most alarming, almost cartoonishly sad-looking face, with mouth downturned like a caricature of a tragedy mask. She says it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with her actual state of mind or dreams or anything, just that apparently her face sometimes does that while she sleeps.
