Ben Affleck teamed up with Jen Affleck on a Dunkin Donuts ad — but did he know The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star beforehand?

“I don’t know if he’s watched the show. But his daughter has,” Jen, 26, revealed exclusively to Us Weekly before the commercial was officially released on Monday, September 15. “His daughter was there and she’s a huge fan. She’s like, ‘It’s OK, we can be related. As long as I’m related to Jen, we’re chilling.’”

While Ben, 53, may not have been familiar, Jen still credited the hit Hulu series for making the ad happen.

“I’m sure his team told him about [the show], and he’s like, ‘Who the heck is she? I don’t know who this is.’ But hey, it led me to doing a commercial with him so I’m happy,” she added. “It was a full-on shoot. I had a whole script. It was my first acting gig, honestly. I didn’t know my first acting gig would be with an Oscar-winning actor.”

In the commercial, which promoted Dunkin’s $6 deal, Jen picked up an order meant for the Oscar winner.

“Expecting my cousin Ben? Nah. When Dunkin’ has something packed with amazing value, they bring me in. Jen Affleck: the value Affleck,” she joked. “Twice the personality, half the price. I am a steal.”

Jen went on to roast Ben, adding, “Why overpay for something that nobody wants? He’s so dated. I’m younger [and] hotter. Can you believe Ben is only 53? And it’s not like a young 53. It’s like a weathered 53.”

The camera then panned over to Ben, who was waiting to pick up his order at the drive-thru.

“Rude,” he told Jen. “[I’m a] totally average 53. Right down the 53 fairway.”

In a confessional, Jen admitted the meeting was “bad” but kept poking fun at the actor, saying, “But not as bad as those grays.”
