Ben Affleck Accepts, Possibly Wins ALS Ice Bucket Challenge
Aug 19th 2014, 12:51, by Hilton Hater

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is not a competition.

It is a way to bring attention to, and raise funds for, a debilitating disease with no known cure.

But if this were a competition... Ben Affleck may have just won it.

The Oscar-winning actor appears below to accept Tyler Perry's challenge, saying he's set to get doused; that he'll also make a donation to the cause; and that he tasks four people who "look great in a wet t-shirt" to take on the Challenge:

  1. Matt Damon
  2. Neil Patrick Harris
  3. Jimmy Kimmel
  4. The woman alongside Affleck holding the bucket

Yup, that's wife Jennifer Garner, who Affleck proceeds to grab and toss into the pool after the wet deed is done. Cutest of all? The laughter of the couple's child in the background as he watches his parents get soaked:

We love it!

We also love that everyone from Justin Bieber to Taylor Swift to Stephen Amell to Bill Gates have taken on the Ice Bucket Challenge.

It has raised MILLIONS for ALS research. Well done, everyone.
