Ben Affleck admits frequent McDonald's habit on US game show

Actor Ben Affleck appeared on the ABC game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire alongside Jeopardy! champion Jamie Ding, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. During a $250,000 question about which McDonald’s sandwich is served with a half‑slice of cheese by default, Affleck said, “I eat a lot of McDonald’s – all the time.” He and Ding asked the studio audience for help; the crowd chose the Filet‑O‑Fish, which was correct and earned the pair $32,000 for Affleck’s Eastern Congo Initiative charity.

The confession followed years of media attention on Affleck’s fast‑food runs, including a 2023 incident where he was photographed eating a Jack‑in‑the‑Box burger in Santa Monica. The game‑show appearance highlighted his longstanding friendship with Matt Damon and the playful banter between Kimmel and Damon during the broadcast.
