The ‘Ice Bucket Challenge’, which is helping to raise funds for ALS, is a major hit with celebrities. Ben Affleck recently took part in it and while he did get cold water dumped on him, the actor also turned it into a makeshift pool party.
Affleck started out standing right by his pool, telling the world that he was called out by Tyler Perry to participate in the challenge. After that he named the four people he would be picking as well.
In Affleck’s works, he chose the “folks who I know from first-hand experience look good in a wet T-shirt.” Jimmy Kimmel was first on the list, followed by Neil Patrick Harris and his buddy Matt Damon.
The lucky fourth person was the 'lady with the bucket', aka Affleck’s wife Jennifer Garner. He barely got to finish the sentence before she dumped the freezing water on him.
As Garner giggled, Affleck grabbed his fully clothed wife by the waist and together the couple tumbled into the pool. Their daughters can be heard laughing in the background.
Other celebrities like Kate Upton and Justin Verlander also worked together to dump frigid water on each other’s heads.
Miley Cyrus put her own creative spin by dumping rice.
