Ben Affleck has signed on to take the 2013 Live Below the Line challenge at the end of April.

The ‘Argo’ celeb has agreed to live on $1.50 a day for food and drink from April 29-May 3 to raise awareness about extreme poverty.

Other celebrities who will give up their Starbucks and a whole lot more for the cause include Josh Groban, Sophia Bush and Debi Mazar.

Groban took the challenge last year and was so taken with the cause that he didn’t hesitate for a moment when he was asked to get on board again for the new campaign.

He said, “It’s amazing how much we take for granted not having to live in hunger.”

The $1.50 figure is the current equivalent of the accepted global figure used to define extreme poverty. The Live Below the Line organization hopes to help people better empathize with the 1.4 billion people who live in abject poverty.

Check out what Groban had to say about living on $1.50 a day in the video clip below:
