Super Bowl 2023: Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez star in hilarious Dunkin’ Donuts advert

Hollywood power couple Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck appeared in a hilarious advert for Dunkin’ Donuts during the Super Bowl.

The advert, which features Affleck working at a drive-thru before his wife makes a surprise appearance, sent social media into a frenzy - with many fans declaring the ad has “won” the internet.

Affleck is well known for his love of Dunkin.

A-listers are a regular feature each year during the advertisements, which can reportedly cost up to 10 million dollars (£8.3 million) for a 30-second slot.

The commercial was aired during the first break of the Super Bowl game which saw the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35.

It sees double Oscar-winner Affleck, 50, working at Dunkin’ Donuts in Massachusetts, giving unsuspecting customers their orders.

His wife J-Lo, 53, then makes an appearance, driving up to the window before asking: "What are you doing? Is that what you do when you say you’re going to work all day?"

Affleck then asks Lopez not to “embarrass him” in front of his friends before his bids farewell to his co-workers.

The singer then asks him to pick her up a treat on the way out.

The actor is frequently photographed with Dunkin’ coffees and paper bags assumedly full of treats from the brand. He features in a number of memes holding Dunkin’ Donut products.

Meanwhile, Sir Elton John, Jennifer Coolidge and Will Ferrell were among the other famous faces making appearances in Super Bowl commercials.

Sir Elton was seen feuding with Jack Harlow in an advert for Doritos, also featuring Missy Elliot as the US rapper attempts to become an award-winning triangle player.

After "quitting" his rap gig, Harlow appears to excel at playing the instrument, building up a new career and business empire - including a new fragrance "Triangle by Harlow".

But he is later upstaged for triangle player of the year by Sir Elton who takes to the stage in a vibrant pink and orange outfit, covered in triangles.

Two separate T-Mobile commercials saw appearances from Bradley Cooper and John Travolta.

Cooper and his mother appear in a heart-warming scene, in which he attempts to coach on her acting for the commercial.

"I’ve been nominated for nine of these (Oscars)," he tells her, to which she responds "but you haven’t won any of them".

Travolta later joined Scrubs stars Zach Braff and Donald Faison, parodying Summer Nights from Grease for an advert for T-Mobile.

In an advert for GMC cars Ferrell parodies a number of popular TV shows, including The Walking Dead and Netflix’s Stranger Things.

Award-winning White Lotus star Coolidge appeared to promote Elf make-up, in a comical skit in which she became stuck to walls and objects around her apartment.

Ben Stiller and Steve Martin both also appeared in adverts for Pepsi, with Stiller reprising his character of dim-witted male model Derrick Zoolander.

Rihanna performed during the halftime show - announcing she was pregnant with her second child while treating fans to a medley of her top hits including Umbrella, We Found Love and All Of The Lights.

The game saw the Kansas City Chiefs defeat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 and claim their second Super Bowl in four years.
