As a seasoned entertainment journalist, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing countless stars shine brightly on the silver screen. However, there’s something truly electrifying about Jennifer Lopez‘s radiance. Her recent foray into acting for the film “Unstoppable” is no exception.


At the Toronto, Canada premiere of their movie “Unstoppable” on Friday, Matt Damon, who is a close friend of Ben Affleck, was seen alongside Jennifer Lopez, who is set to become Affleck’s ex-wife.

53-year-old actor from The Talented Mr. Ripley and 55-year-old singer known for Love Don’t Cost a Thing were spotted together in a group photo at an event that transpired during the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, held at Roy Thomson Hall.

They joyfully interacted with Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, and Don Cheadle, who were Lopez’s fellow actors in the movie.

In the photograph, both Damon and Lopez, radiantly attired in a daring dress, appeared to be relishing the moment, with Damon himself grinning broadly for the camera.

Remarkably, Affleck, aged 52, who collaborated with Damon in producing the movie, was conspicuously missing at the event. This absence transpires during his current divorce proceedings with Lopez.

Damon cut an elegant figure, wearing a stylish grey suit paired with a smart black dress shirt. Finishing off his attire were sleek black footwear.

The celebrity from Massachusetts had a mix of gray and black facial hair, giving him an appealing roughness in his looks.

Additionally, Matt was accompanied by his stunningly beautiful wife, Luciana Barroso, aged 48, who radiated elegance in a tight-fitting, plunging black dress.

Her brunette tresses were pinned up in an elegant updo, with a few strands left to frame her face.

She accessorized with a black clutch and golden jewelry.

The duo has been joined in matrimony since the year 2005. They crossed paths in Miami when she was employed as a bartender. Together they share three daughters: Isabella (18 years old), Gia (16 years old), and Stella (14 years old). Additionally, Barroso is the mother of Alexia (26 years old) from a past relationship.

Damon and Affleck have known each other for more than four decades, having grown up as neighbors in Boston, Massachusetts. They attended the same schools throughout their youth.

They both broke into Hollywood through their work on the 1997 film Good Will Hunting.

Together, they penned the movie script, and Damon played a role in it as well, which turned out to be both critically acclaimed and financially successful, ultimately winning them an Academy Award for their exceptional original screenplay.

At the premiere, all attention was on Lopez as she donned an intriguing dress featuring open sides held together by mere three black ribbons.

She matched her silver, dance-ball-esque dress by Tamara Ralph, with some open-toed stilettos and accessories by Hassanzadeh.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but gush over how the actress from Hustlers gracefully carried her long, sun-kissed brown tresses, flowing freely in soft, wavy curls, adorning her back like a beautiful waterfall of hair.

Two and a half weeks have passed since she submitted the divorce papers, which coincidentally fell on their second wedding anniversary with Affleck.

In spite of concluding her fourth marriage, a source revealed to DailyMail.com that the artist known for “Let’s Get Loud” was eager to attend the Toronto Film Festival to promote her movie, as ‘Unstoppable’ holds significant importance for her and she wished to lend her support to it.

The source stated that this tale, based on real-life events, is incredibly inspiring, and she feels honored to be involved. For her, performing in the film represents a significant peak in her career.

As a devoted admirer, I’m thrilled to share that the film we all know has been garnering significant recognition. I, along with Jennifer, am eager for its success. She, being a consummate professional, consistently pours her heart and effort into ensuring every project she touches has the best possible chances at greatness.

Lopez has a supporting part as a wrestler’s mother in the movie, which already has Oscar buzz.

According to the source, the performer will make a brief visit due to other responsibilities she needs to handle.

According to a report by DailyMail.com, some movie producers were attempting to convince both individuals to attend the Toronto premiere together, with the aim of generating excitement about the film.

But those producers did not get their way as now only one of them will be there.

The project is from Ben’s production company Artists Equity, which he co-founded with Damon.

Affleck and Damon are among the 14 producers on the film.

The movie is scheduled to debut in the Special Presentation section of the Toronto International Film Festival, and then have a restricted cinema run in December 2024, distributed by Amazon MGM Studios.
