Jeremy Strong Parodies His 'Self-Serious' Image in Dunkin’ Donuts Super Bowl Ad

Directed by Ben Affleck, the comedic commercial sees Strong embrace humor and improvisation to challenge perceptions of his acting style.

Jeremy Strong collaborated with Ben Affleck to create a unique Dunkin’ Donuts Super Bowl ad, poking fun at his reputation for being overly serious about his craft.
The ad features Strong in a humorous 'Apocalypse Now'-inspired scene, improvising as a method actor struggling to connect with his role in a coffee-themed setting.
Strong rejected initial concepts for the ad, seeking creative freedom to craft a narrative that aligned with his comedic vision while distancing himself from past roles like 'Succession.'
The actor views the commercial as a chance to show he can take his work seriously without taking himself too seriously, countering long-standing perceptions about his approach to acting.
Strong hinted at potential future collaborations, including a speculative idea for another Dunkin’ ad with Al Pacino, referencing their shared portrayal of Roy Cohn.
