Ben Affleck's Obsession With Dunkin' Donuts Explained

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Ben Affleck finally decided to "own" his dough obsession after years of teasing, social media postings, memes, and paparazzi pics. He recently took a step back from the world of dark, gritty dramas and whisked his wife, Jennifer Lopez, to Boston — to film a Dunkin' Donuts ad. Hollywood Pipeline posted a video that shows Affleck as a star-struck employee serving the singer at a drive-thru in Medford, Massachusetts. 

"How cool is this! Ben Affleck was seen handing out coffee this morning at a Boston-area Dunkin Donuts," 7News Boston WHDH reporter Rob Way tweeted along with a pic of Affleck, clad in a Dunkin' uniform and serving iced coffee at the drive-thru window. "'He was just as funny and quick-witted as I expected,' Lisa Mackay, who snapped this picture, tells me."

Not surprisingly, Way's followers were quick with the Affleck quips — and digs. "Glad to see he's finally doing something useful," muttered a passer-by who only identified herself as 'Jennifer G.,'" joked one. "It would be much more cool if Ben Affleck was doing this as some sort of charitable act or public service and not a mere commercial for Dunkin Donuts" grumbled a killjoy. "Handing coffee to his wife is an ad. Handing coffee out to Joe & Jane Average is commendable & cool."
