Surprise! Ben Affleck seen working at Dunkin' Donuts drive-thru after viral memes
Ben Affleck isn't just drinking his Dunkin' coffee. Now, he's serving it too.
The "Good Will Hunting" and "Gone Girl" actor, 50, has been the subject of viral memes, often photographed juggling Dunkin' coffees. On Tuesday, the Cambridge native surprised local fans when taking orders at one of the chain's Boston-based locations in Medford, Massachusetts.
In several photos captured by fans, Affleck was seen sporting the full employee uniform: A brown "America runs on Dunkin" tee, matching visor and, to complete the look, a drive-thru headset.
One customer, Lisa Mackey, shared a picture on Instagram of Affleck on the job, thanking him and his wife, Jennifer Lopez, "for my coffee this morning." Mackey also described Affleck as "quick-witted and funny" to NBC10 Boston and said she was told by crew members that they were filming a commercial.
One user on Twitter shared a video of Affleck playing barista and serving coffee to Lopez, who donned a white, puffer winter coat. Others used the opportunity to generate more memes and jokes. Affleck, a well-known Dunkin' enthusiast, became a viral meme when a 2020 paparazzi photo showed him dropping an order of drinks outside his home.
"no one has ever seen Ben Affleck smile this hard in Hollywood. man needs to quit his job and start picking up shifts at Dunkin'," one user wrote.
