In the framed photo, the Jersey Girl star is wearing a blue jacket balancing a cup of Dunkin' coffee with what appear to be boxes of Dunkin' donuts.

After the paparazzi photos of Affleck went viral, he became an official brand ambassador for Dunkin' after starring in his first commercial for the coffee and donut franchise during the Super Bowl in 2023.
The easter egg undeniably fits in the ad, in which the Boston native also poked fun at the "Sad Affleck" memes that popped up on social media after Affleck accompanied Lopez to the Grammys in 2023 and remained expressionless the whole night.
The latest ad isn't the end of the Air star's journey. At the end of the commercial, he warned people "underestimate Boston...at your peril." He also plugged Lopez's upcoming album, standing outside wearing a donut necklace and saying, "This is me, now," which is the title of her project.
