Super Bowl: How Much Did Jennifer Lopez Get for Dunkin’ Donuts Ad?
Ben Affleck is not shy about his obsession with Dunkin, and he may be millions of dollars richer thanks to that obsession. Oh, and it seems he even dragged his wife, Latina icon Jennifer Lopez into the action as they starred in a Super Bowl ad for Dunkin together.
Well, J-Lo only made a cameo in the ad as her hubby, Ben Affleck, was its main focus. However, much like Ben, it seems that she also took home a big fat paycheck after just a few seconds of appearing in that Super Bowl ad.
A source with knowledge of Affleck's deal with Dunkin spoke with Entertainment Tonight and revealed that the Academy Award-winning actor signed a deal with Dunkin' Donuts worth "over 10 million dollars."
That's not all, though, as the source also revealed that the partnership with Dunkin also includes a donation to his non-profit, the Eastern Congo Initiative.
As for his wife, the source admitted that Jennifer Lopez's appearance was a surprise for many.
"When she showed up to set, Ben told her to go through the drive-thru and film something," the source stated.
It seems that Dunkin loved the interaction and added it to the ad.
J-Lo made $1 million just for appearing in that ad, meaning the power couple made millions together just for a few minutes worth of screen time for each.
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's Dunkin Commercial Also Had Hilarious Outtakes
While the Dunkin Super Bowl commercial was well-received by fans who watched last Sunday's big game, it also had some hilarious outtakes. Boston.com revealed that Bennifer filmed the ad in Medford and Revere last January, and it had a lot of unused footage.
The outtakes show that Affleck messed with Dunkin customers a lot more than what was shown in the commercials. One clip even showed the Justice League star trying to sell a customer a lot of water. Another showed him telling a customer they were out of coffee and donuts.

In another hilarious outtake, Jennifer Lopez's husband told another customer that she should add "joy" to her life in the form of sweetener in her tea. After she declines, the actor then told her that she's "insisting on darkness."
Ben Affleck Super Bowl Commercial Could Have Been Much More Different
Dunkin has paid big bucks to have Ben Affleck star in their ad, as well as have his wife Jennifer Lopez's cameo in it. However, if they had gone with what Dunkin originally planned, the ad would have turned out much differently.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Dunkin initially wanted the actor/director to visit their company boardroom. However, Affleck pushed for his production company Artists Equity to film the final product, a hidden camera video.
As for filming, the actor admitted that there were some less-than-stellar and more colorful responses to his bad customer service, and he says he hopes that the public would be able to see them. "It's Boston, after all, so we had some rather coarse and agitated people who were willing to voice their displeasure in a colorful way," Affleck said. "I'm still lobbying to include the most interesting of those in some of the edgiest social spots."
