Jennifer Lopez showcased her professionalism on the red carpet for her latest film, “Unstoppable.” In a video circulating on social media, she was asked about her former husband Ben Affleck’s comments praising her performance.
Affleck’s Support
Affleck, who is one of the producers of “Unstoppable,” praised Lopez during an interview, stating, “Jennifer’s spectacular. We believed in the right people, and ‘Unstoppable’ is another example of that.” The film also stars Don Cheadle, Jharrel Jerome, and Bobby Cannavale.
Lopez’s Response
In response to Affleck’s compliments, Lopez chose to highlight the entire cast and crew, saying, “I would describe all of the cast and everybody behind the scenes as spectacular and wonderful.”
Film’s Inspiring Story
“Unstoppable” tells the inspiring true story of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship in 2011.
Affleck on Storytelling
Affleck shared his thoughts with “Entertainment Tonight,” noting, “Unstoppable is a very different movie than this, but in a way, it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists. It speaks to a certain kind of thing we’re drawn to. We really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply connected to the story.”
Recent Split
Lopez and Affleck’s relationship has changed, as they split a few months ago. Lopez filed for divorce in August, coinciding with the anniversary of their wedding ceremony in Riceboro, Georgia, which took place in 2022 after a Las Vegas elopement a month earlier.
