Yet another Affleck stars in a new Dunkin’ commercial: This time it’s Jen Affleck of the buzzy reality TV show “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
But don’t worry — DunKing Ben Affleck shares the spotlight, albeit from outside a drive-through window.
Jen Affleck made headlines last fall during the first season of the hit Hulu show when claimed her husband, Zac, was related to the Afflecks of Cambridge fame. The supposed family ties have since been debunked, according to People Magazine. But that doesn’t stop Jen from portraying Ben as her “cousin” in the Dunkin’ ad.
The minute-long spot for the chain’s $6 meal deal narrows in on the Utah mother of three, who, to the surprise of a Dunkin’ worker, comes to the counter to pick up an order for “Affleck.”
“Expecting my cousin Ben? Nah. When Dunkin’ has something packed with amazing value, they bring me in: Jen Affleck — the value Affleck,” she says to the camera, with a wink.
Jen goes on to say that, like the Dunkin’ $6 meal deal, she’s “a steal” and less than half the age of 53-year-old Ben Affleck.
“Rude!,” Ben Affleck pipes up from the drive-through.
Season three of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is set to premiere Nov. 13, according to Hulu.
