Ben Affleck may be headed to a Super Bowl commercial near you — because he’s teamed up with the one company that’s the apple of his eye … or the pastry of his java, rather.
The actor was seen filming something with Dunkin’ Donuts Tuesday morning in his native Boston … where BA was dressed in an employee’s uniform and hamming it up for cameras out of the drive-thru window as he interacted with a fake customer.
All signs point to this being a major ad … and the speculation is that it might show up on game day, although there’s no confirmation of that just yet. We wouldn’t be surprised though.
Of course, this is a big deal because Ben is essentially an ambassador for the coffee chain — time and again, he’s seen in and around L.A. with a bunch of Dunkin’ products … so, frankly, it was just a matter of time before a collab came around. It’s a match made in heaven.
Here’s hoping Dunkin’s (potential) SB spot is better than the fictional one Al Pacino did for them in ‘Jack and Jill’ — where he was infamously made to sing and dance to a terrible made-up song that morphed a beverage with his name, courtesy of Adam Sandler.
Based on how jolly Ben looks in these takes, it seems they’re going full espresso for his one.
