You can keep the man out of Boston, but you can’t keep the Boston out of the man!
Ben Affleck is returning to his roots. He and Dunkin’ teamed up again for what looks like another hilarious Dunkin’ Super Bowl commercial! Last year, Ben Affleck and JLo were spotted filming a Dunkin’ commercial for the Super Bowl in Medford. The commercial was also directed by Affleck, who seems to be making a major career change in this upcoming commercial.
Will he pursue the trending short-form content of the social media world and become an influencer? Or will he follow in Jennifer Lopez’s footsteps and become Benny from the block? Here’s a teaser. Guess we’ll have to wait until the Super Bowl to find out what’s next for Ben Affleck. We certainly see lots and lots more Dunkin’ iced in it.
Although a Californian, the Cambridge native holds a special place for Dunks in his heart and has completed several partnerships with the coffee chain over the years.
And a Dunkin’ commercial wasn’t the only project of Affleck’s recently. He and Boston native, Matt Damon announced their production company, Artists’ Equity, last year. Childhood friends, Affleck and Damon both pursued their love of film from a young age. They notoriously took home the 1997 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay when they co-wrote Good Will Hunting.
Air was the first film from the MA duo’s production company, Artists’ Equity. It aired in cinemas on April 5 last year. Damon returned to Boston again along with Ben’s younger brother, Casey, to film an action film The Instigators.
