Watch: Grammys 2025: The Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez Crossover Moment You May Have Missed

This could possibly be the greatest 2025 Grammys moment never told.

Just seconds after Jennifer Lopez presented Shakira with the award for Best Latin Pop Album on Feb. 2, the live broadcast from Los Angeles' Crypto.com Arena cut to a commercial break featuring a new Dunkin' ad starring her ex-husband Ben Affleck

In the 45-second spot, the Oscar winner was joined by his brother Casey Affleck as they tried to get their costar Jeremy Strong out of his dressing room.

"Jeremy is a method actor," Casey quipped. "He will come out when he is ready."

Ben then argued that he "never did no research on nothin'" before barging in on the Succession alum, who was submerged in a large barrel of coffee grounds.

"We're doing a Dunkin' Donuts commercial, right?" Jeremy asked a bewildered Ben. "I'm just trying to find the character. I think I found a way in. You’re from Boston, I’m from Boston. Dunkin’ is Boston. Boston is Paul Revere. One if by land, two if by sea. Red coats are coming."

The commercial ended with a nod to Ben's previous Dunkin' ad with best friend Matt Damon.

"You should have paid for Matt," Casey quipped to the Argo star, who snapped back, "I told you that."

Ben last attended the Grammys in 2023, when his then-wife Jennifer presented the award for Best Pop Vocal Album to Harry Styles. At the time, many of his photos from the event turned into memes, as some social media users thought he looked bored.

Ben later clarified that—contrary to popular belief—he "had a good time at the Grammys."

"My wife was going, and I thought, 'Well, there'll be good music. It might be fun,'" he told The Hollywood Reporter in a 2023 interview. "At movie award shows, it's speeches and, like, sound-mixing webinars. But I thought this would be fun."

However, Ben and Jen's marriage eventually fizzled out, with the couple splitting in 2024 after nearly two years of matrimony. Their divorce was finalized in January.

Though Ben missed out on attending this year's Grammys, many stars didn't. Keep reading to see who was spotted on the red carpet.
