Famous actor Ben Affleck traded in his celebrity status for a chance to serve customers at a Dunkin’ drive-thru in Boston, Massachusetts, proving home is really where the heart is for this Cambridge native.
Affleck was spotted wearing a headset and taking orders at the drive-thru, according to photos and video footage circulating online. Customers who were lucky enough to be served by Affleck said the actor wouldn’t let them pay. He reportedly waived them off while informing all his customers they were getting freebies that day.

“You can’t take the Boston accent out of the boy,” she said, according to WCVB.
Mackay said she ordered a coffee and was met by Affleck when she pulled up to the window. She asked to take his photograph, and he obliged.
Mackay said Affleck was “just as funny, quick-witted and nice as you would imagine.” (RELATED: Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck’s Southern Wedding Was Jam-Packed With Special Touches)
