Ben Affleck loves his Dunkin’ coffee so much, he’s serving it too. The Deep Water actor has long been the subject of viral memes juggling Dunkin’ coffees. On Tuesday (January 10), Affleck surprised fans when taking orders at one of the chain’s Boston-area locations in Medford, Massachusetts.
In several photos captured by fans shared to social media, Affleck, 50, 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 fan 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 nice” to NBC10 Boston and said she was told by crew members that they were filming a commercial. While Dunkin’ hasn’t officially commented on Affleck’s appearance, the company shared an 👀

In the video, he thanked the Dunkin’ employees and gave them a little motivational push. He said, “Now, listen, when I come back here, I don’t want to be in 16th place. I want to at least be ahead of Jumpster Street and Texboro. That’s our goal.” As he smiles, Lopez is laughing at her husband’s joke that did actually seem serious.
Other fans used the opportunity to create more memes of Affleck’s love of Dunkin’, which began when a viral photo of him in 2020 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. Another meme joked that “Justice runs on Dunkin’,” with a photoshopped image of Affleck sporting the Batman mask.

The Sexiest Men Alive From The Last 20 Years
Take a stroll through the last 20 years of People‘s Sexiest Men Alive. This year, the award went to Grey’s Anatomy‘s neurosurgeon Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd. The long-awaited title is something we look forward to every year, and this year’s choice has been worth the wait. The actor has never been given the title before, and with nearly 20 years of being television eye candy, the actor told the publication when he first heard the news, “I was completely shocked, and then I started laughing, like, this is a joke, right?” As for how his kids will respond, the Maine native insists they’re just going to make fun of him.
Humble Beginnings
Growing up in Maine, he recalled always having to be moving, so he took up a lot of sports like baseball, soccer, skiing, cycling.” The Ferrari actor had dyslexia, so he didn’t love school, and described himself as a “late bloomer.” In his youth, Dempsey joined a vaudeville troupe and rode a unicycle while juggling.
Now, the key is maturity and wisdom for the Can’t Buy Me Love alum. “You go through cycles of life, so you understand there are going to be high and low moments and what are the most important things. Everything else is a gift.” Despite his heartthrob status over the years, “I’m glad it’s happening at this point in my life,” he says of his new title.
