I don\u2019t need her, I\u2019ve got everything I need right here at Dunkin\u2019.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAniston subsequently appears at the window &#8211; wearing her hair in the style of her Friends character Rachel &#8211; and introduces her boyfriend who is revealed as former NFL star Tom Brady.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlexander opened up about about how the advert was made revealing he was told the actors would all be &#8220;de-aged&#8221; to make them looks as if they had all stepped straight out of the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told Esquire magazine: &#8220;It was pitched [to me] exactly like what you see, as if\u00a0Good Will Hunting\u00a0had started as a bad pilot. It is the found pilot, and we&#8217;re gonna de-age you. That was the pitch.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe actor went onto reveal the cast felt very &#8220;comfortable&#8221; with each other even though they hadn&#8217;t all worked together before.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe explained: &#8220;It was as if we all knew the drill and had done it before, when in fact we had not &#8230; It was comfortable&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added of his de-aging onscreen: &#8220;They added hair pieces that resemble, I&#8217;ll laughably say, my hairline in the &#8217;90s. It was close [enough], and I figured they&#8217;ll nail it when they CGI it. That was never my hair. But I look younger. God bless them, they got me back to my thirties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/ben-affleck-reunites-friends-stars-super-bowl-advert-1437351.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 February 2026 Ben Affleck reunited Friends stars Jennifer Aniston and Matt LeBlanc for his latest Dunkin&#8217; donuts advert.
