Are You Having A 'Ben Affleck Summer'? Everyone On TikTok Apparently Is
While Ben Affleck might have an impressive Hollywood resume and highly buzzed-about relationship with fellow A-lister Jennifer Lopez, the actor might be better known for his passion for Dunkin' coffee and looking annoyed.
In fact, his vibe has become so recognizable that TikTokers are now adopting it for themselves and branding it an entire trend.
"Enjoying my 'Ben Affleck Summer,'" user Michael Major wrote in one clip, before clarifying that it means "walking around drinking a Dunkin' iced coffee while really stressed out."
Major isn't the only one embracing Affleck's caffeine addiction and "slouchy" style. "Ready for 'Ben Affleck summer.' Looking stressed but highly caffeinated," Megan Mayday chimed in on the trend. She wore a very Affleck-esque flannel button down and denim shorts for the video, too.
While Ben Affleck has long been the unofficial face of Dunkin' (the man is photographed with the brand's signature orange cup more than he is his current wife)(more on that below), his first signature drink just made menus earlier this year. Shortly after appearing alongside Tom Brady and his hometown bestie Matt Damon for Dunkin's super bowl commercial, the chain released Affleck's DunKing Iced Coffee, a.k.a the actor's go-to order of classic iced coffee with notes of vanilla combined with cream and topped with sweet cold foam and cinnamon-sugar.
As for the whole "looking stressed out" part of Ben Affleck summer, Ben himself might have a reason for the resting bitch face. Rumors have been circulating for months surrounding his relationship with (allegedly) estranged wife Jennifer Lopez. However, while the couple has reportedly been living apart and "doing their own thing," a reconciliation isn't necessarily out of the question. According to US Weekly, there's a "sliver of hope" for their relationship.
"Jennifer suggested they just take time to figure it out," a source told the outlet, while noting that they are "living separate lives" at the moment.
"They are going through so much individually and as a couple. They may take some time to see if this complicated moment can resolve itself and they come back to each other [as] better people," another insider revealed, before adding that they're staying "amicable" and "don't hate" each other. "They're [just] going through difficult times."
