Ben Affleck Subtly Nods to His Past in His Latest Dunkin’ Commercial!
The actor, 51, aims to become a pop star like his wife Jennifer Lopez in a one-minute video titled “Dunkin’ ‘Popstar’ ft. Ben Affleck & Charli D’Amelio.”
In the ad, Affleck consults with stylists and music producers. He then pretends to call his 54-year-old wife, Lopez, and asks in a thick Boston accent what she thinks of him going by the stage name “BLo.”

As he gets choreography tips from dancer and TikTok star Charli D’Amelio about 40 seconds into the commercial, eagle-eyed viewers will spot a gold-framed paparazzi photo of Affleck in his fake living room next to pictures of Lopez.
In the framed photo, Jersey girl star wearing a blue jacket balancing a cup of Dunkin’ coffee and what looks like a box of Dunkin’ donuts.
While it’s not an exact copy of the famous 2021 photo of Affleck balancing a Dunkin’ coffee on top of a pile of mail, it’s close.

After paparazzi photos of Affleck went viral, he became an official Dunkin’ brand ambassador after starring in his first commercial for the coffee and donut franchise during the 2023 Super Bowl.
The Easter egg certainly fits in with the ad, in which the Boston native also poked fun at the “Sad Affleck” memes that surfaced on social media after Affleck accompanied Lopez to the 2023 Grammys and remained expressionless all night.
The latest ad is not the end Air star travel. At the end of the ad, he warned people to “underestimate Boston…at your own peril.” He also included Lopez’s upcoming album, standing outside wearing a donut necklace and saying, “This is me, now,” the name of her project.
