Ben Affleck Confesses He Eats 'A Lot Of McDonald's' During 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'
Two weeks ago, the Good Will Hunting actor made a special television appearance, competing alongside Jeopardy! Champion Jamie Ding on the celebrity edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. He starred on the show alongside a series of other stars, competing to raise money for the Eastern Congo Initiative, a charity of his choosing.
During the episode, there were numerous fun moments that took place and caught people's attention, including Ben's back-and-forth banter with late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who made small jokes about him throughout the night. For instance, at one point, he introduced him as "Matt Damon's much-better half."
However, there was one moment that stood out, which happened when the actor and Jeopardy! contestants were asked a McDonald 's-themed trivia question: "Unless you specifically ask for more, which McDonald's sandwich is served with half a slice of cheese?"
Ben responded by admitting to his love for the specific fast food restaurant, stating, "I eat a lot of McDonald's — like a lot. All the time."
Fans React To Ben's Love Of McDonald's On Social Media
After the episode aired last week, the dad-of-three's confession quickly reminded fans of the many times photographers have spotted him indulging in McDonald's over the years, making his comments feel more like confirmation than a surprise. The actor has repeatedly gone viral for grabbing meals from the fast-food chain, including these memorable paparazzi photos of him eating fries in his car, carrying takeout bags, and stopping by the drive-thru with family members, like his children, and even his former wife, Jennifer Lopez.
After he admitted to his love of the fast food chain on television, many social media users found it comical, even if they weren't surprised. Some even praised him for embracing his fast food habit, and are comparing his love of McDonald's to his love of Dunkin' Donuts, another restaurant he's famously stopped at many times.
Others praised the actor for unapologetically embracing his fast-food habit despite his A-list status, while longtime fans pointed out that his McDonald's runs have become as recognizable as his famous Dunkin' Donuts coffee orders.
"Good for him," responded a Facebook user. "He's not a snooty matcha drinker."
"Next, he will be doing McDonald's commercials," joked another, referring to his ads for Dunkin'.
"Oh, everyone [goes]....and if they say they don't, they are lying," commented a user. "FULL STOP."
