Celebrities have countless ways of capturing our attention, ranging from philanthropic gestures to acts of public kindness. However, one trend that never ceases to charm is the celebrity visit to a fast-food eatery.
While the duo of Bennifer 2.0 – Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez – are typically affiliated with this trend, due to Affleck’s unwavering Dunkin’ devotion and J. Lo’s warm acceptance of his peculiar Bostonian fixation, they are simply the pioneers. Julia Roberts garnered attention for her stop at In-N-Out after the 2019 Golden Globes, which showcased her ability to connect with everyday people. In her 2015 memoir, Mindy Kaling unabashedly admitted her love for McDonald’s, dispelling any assumptions of a “skinny actress” image.
Joining the list of celebrities frequenting humble fast-food joints are the famous couple Justin and Hailey Bieber. Decked out in contrasting styles – he in sandals, she in designer wear – they recently visited a Krispy Kreme outlet in New York City. While Hailey was there to promote a limited-edition peptide lip treatment in strawberry glaze by Rhode, Justin’s role appeared to be that of a supportive spouse. Nonetheless, their presence highlights the lasting appeal of fast-food culture. Who knows, their next adventure may take them to enjoy Timbits and iced capps at Tim Hortons, considered a national favourite in Justin’s home country.
