Matt Damon opens DunKings 2024 Super Bowl commercial.
During the visit The Late Show with Stephen Colbert On Tuesday, Damon, 53, was asked about filming a Dunkin’ commercial with friends Ben Affleck, 51, and Tom Brady, 46.
The friends formed the ultimate boy band in a clip that aired during Sunday’s game in Las Vegas and featured the trio in hilarious orange, pink and white Boston DunKing tracksuits.

“It’s obviously not my idea,” Damon laughed as Colbert, 59, showed off the photo. “We had a lot of fun doing it though,” he added.
Damon then revealed the truth about the moment at the end of the commercial where he tells Affleck, “Remember how I said I’d do anything for you? This was anything.”
“I actually told him that while we were filming,” Damon laughed. “And he just left it in there.”

Ben Affleck finally has his own Dunkin’ drink on the menu after his Super Bowl commercial
Later in the interview, the talk show host noted that “Dunkin’ was actually selling this ridiculous outfit.” Colbert then brought out some sweatpants that they could wear for the rest of the interview.
“By the way, the only qualification for DunKing is the willingness to put this on. So you’re in a band, you’ve made it,” Damon told Colbert.
The ad saw the boy band surprise Affleck’s wife Jennifer Lopez in the studio while she was filming with rapper Fat Joe, drinking from a glittery Dunkin’ cup.

The commercial also shows Jack Harlow telling Affleck in a car, “I don’t think you should do that.”
Referring to last year’s Dunkin’ Super Bowl ad — in which Lopez, 54, ordered from Affleck at the drive-thru — Affleck told Harlow, 25: “She came to my job last year. Now I have to show her what I can do.” The group ended up flying into Lopez’s studio to perform.
After the clip aired Sunday, Dunkin’ released a 4-minute, extended version of its Super Bowl ad on Tuesday featuring Affleck and his journey to becoming a pop star.
