In a surprising twist during the Super Bowl, Ben Affleck made a bold move to launch his music career through a Dunkin’ commercial, leaving celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Fat Joe, and Jack Harlow visibly dismayed. The ad, which quickly captured the audience’s attention, showcased Affleck’s unexpected pop star ambitions, sparking reactions from his wife, Jennifer Lopez, and other stars present in the studio.
The commercial opens with Affleck crashing Lopez’s studio session, eagerly attempting to showcase his musical talents. However, he is quickly met with disapproving stares from Lopez, Fat Joe, and others, highlighting the comedic tension of the moment. Despite the skepticism from most, Tom Brady emerges as an unlikely supporter of Affleck’s musical venture, adding an unexpected twist to the narrative.
While Affleck did not secure a spot on Lopez’s two recently released tracks, hope remains that he might feature on one of the eleven upcoming songs on her highly anticipated album, “This Is Me…Now.” The commercial not only serves as an entertaining interlude but also cleverly promotes Dunkin’s latest product, the DunKings Iced Coffee, which became available the day after the Super Bowl, on February 12.
“This Is Me…Now,” set for release on February 16 through Nuyorican Productions, promises to be a significant moment for Lopez and potentially Affleck if he indeed makes an appearance. The inclusion of Jack Harlow, a Warner Music artist, in the commercial further ties the ad to the music industry, adding another layer of intrigue and connection. It’s worth noting that Uproxx, mentioned in the context of the commercial, operates as an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
The Dunkin’ commercial, while humorous and lighthearted, cleverly intertwines the worlds of music, celebrity culture, and brand promotion. Affleck’s attempt to break into the music scene, albeit fictional, sparked conversations and likely amused fans of both him and Lopez. Whether or not Affleck will truly venture into music remains to be seen, but for now, his Super Bowl ad performance has certainly left an impression.
As the commercial concludes, viewers are left wondering about the potential dynamics of celebrity relationships and collaborations. The playful banter between Affleck and the star-studded cast adds a relatable and entertaining element to the ad, making it one of the memorable moments of this year’s Super Bowl commercials. With “This Is Me…Now” on the horizon, fans of Lopez and Affleck alike will be eagerly anticipating any surprises the album may hold, including the slim possibility of Affleck’s pop star debut.
