Jennifer Lopez reacts to ex Ben Affleck praising her ‘spectacular’ acting in Unstoppable amid divorce
As a seasoned observer of Hollywood’s dynamic landscape, I find Jennifer Lopez‘s journey to be nothing short of inspiring. Her recent candid confessions about her personal struggles and growth are a testament to her resilience and self-awareness. It’s clear that she has weathered stormy relationships, but instead of letting them define her, she is redefining herself.
Jennifer Lopez expressed her feelings after her divorcing spouse, Ben Affleck, complimented her acting skills in the movie “Unstoppable,” which is set to be released during their separation.
Actress from ‘Atlas’, aged 55 and recently creating a stir in London, has been cast as the main character in a sports drama that Ben Affleck famously produced.
On Sunday, the Oscar winner, 52, talked about Jennifer’s performance as Judy Robles in the biopic and simply told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Jennifer is spectacular.’
After receiving the comment, the mother of two addressed it during an interview held at the Unstoppable premiere in London on Tuesday, as reported by E! News.
Lopez didn’t directly name her ex, but she did say, “I would characterize everyone in the cast and those working behind the scenes.
In an interview with ET, Ben spoke about collaborating with a gifted group of actors and filmmakers, before bringing up Jennifer.
Despite its distinct nature, ‘Unstoppable’ shares a common thread with [this unnamed movie], both being deeply grounded in the fervor and skill of exceptionally gifted creators.
He added, ‘It speaks to a certain kind of thing I guess we’re drawn to. We really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply connected to the story.’
The Amazon Prime film first premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival a few months earlier in September.
Lopez made an appearance on the red carpet at the event, with Affleck opting to not attend.
On their second wedding anniversary, which fell on August 20th, the actress formally submitted divorce papers against the actor known for Good Will Hunting.
The film “Unstoppable” will start its theatrical run on December 6 and then become available for streaming on January 16 of the following year.
The premise of the movie, ‘Centers around the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and won a national championship in 2011 while competing at Arizona State University,’ per an IMDB synopsis.
As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that alongside Jennifer, an illustrious lineup of talents such as Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle, have joined the ranks of this exciting project we’re all part of. It’s a privilege to work with such distinguished artists!
Ben shares the role of a producer with his friend Matt Damon in the making of the biopic.
Lately, sources have shared with DailyMail.com the explanation for why Affleck commended Lopez on her acting performance in ‘Unstoppable’.
According to an insider, Ben hopes that Unstoppable becomes a big success, with Jennifer Lopez receiving all the recognition she deserves for her role in it.
Ben is concerned that his relationship might overshadow the movie and her acting, so he prefers it to be evaluated independently.
‘The source went on to say, “He understands he’ll likely be questioned about Jen in interviews. He’s determined to keep things polite and professional.’
‘He truly believes she killed it. Ben is a filmmaker, and an Oscar winner himself, he knows what works, and he always thought JLo would be incredible.’
According to another source, it’s clear that Affleck still has several matters to resolve regarding JLo, yet he takes pride in her outstanding performance.
Apart from what he’s already stated, he won’t comment further on his ex-wife. However, when Ben speaks positively about her, people take notice and might be inclined to watch the movie, as this seems to be the only positive remark he has made since their separation.
The source also said, ‘Make no mistake about it, this film is a huge investment for Ben and Matt.’
It’s impossible for them to avoid commenting on a star’s performance, since they are the ones who took on the leading role in the movie they themselves produced.
In October last month, Lopez finally spoke about their breakup in an interview with Interview Magazine. She characterized the separation as both sad and frightening.
In addition to discussing their music, the artist also touched upon the importance of personal growth before entering a new relationship, emphasizing, “It’s crucial to be whole and healthy if you wish for something even more fulfilling.
It turns out that I haven’t truly mastered self-reliance as I thought I did. This realization hit me hard during the summer, prompting me to acknowledge, “I must take some time for myself and demonstrate my ability to thrive independently.
Jenifer then revealed whether she has any regrets in regards to her marriage with Ben.
As I share my journey, let me clarify that it wasn’t a mere moment, but a close call that came dangerously close to ending things for me. I can assure you, it was quite the wake-up call. However, moving forward, I find myself not actively seeking a companion at this time.
Later on, Lopez openly confessed that her separation from Affleck was incredibly challenging, and she further explained, ‘It’s isolating, strange, terrifying. It’s sorrowful. It’s heart-wrenching.’
However, when you settle into those emotions and think, “These situations won’t end my life,” it’s more accurate to say that I have the ability to experience joy and happiness independently.
She added, “A relationship doesn’t shape my identity. It’s important that I don’t seek happiness from others; instead, I need to find it within myself.
As a passionate admirer, I would often assert my cheerful disposition, yet there remained an emptiness yearning to be fulfilled – not for another, but for myself. It was almost as if someone were whispering, “But you are already whole.
After the separation, Jennifer has lately shared with People her vacation arrangements, and disclosed that she intends to spend quality time with her loved ones.
The star, previously married to Marc Anthony from 2004 to 2014, co-parents Emme and Max, who are both 16 years old with him.
Affleck has three kids with his former spouse, Jennifer Garner: Fin (aged 15), Samuel (12 years old), and Violet (18). The eldest, Violet, is currently studying in college.
She shared that this past year had been particularly challenging for her, but what she’s really excited about is spending quality time with her children and family, having returned from the East Coast.
The holiday season holds a unique significance for us, and that has been the case since I was a young child. I eagerly anticipate those instances where we can all gather together, unwind, enjoy ourselves, and make fresh, cherished memories.
Violet Affleck was recently seen in a selfie with Jennifer’s sister, Lynda Lopez, which left both Affleck and Garner ‘confused.’
During our rare meetings throughout the year, we take turns updating one another about our lives and experiences. It’s such a delightful moment for me. I truly cherish these occasions. The actress expressed this sentiment.
Prior to the upcoming holiday period, the artist known as On The Floor has been staying active on a promotional tour for Unstoppable.
Most recently, she has been spending time in the U.K. and attended the London premiere on Tuesday.
She impressed everyone by donning a tight-fitting, white sweater dress that hugged her figure. She accessorized with white heels and a cozy coat too.
On Thursday, she flaunted her fashion sense by donning a stylish, white overcoat with a black turtleneck beneath, during a film promotion photoshoot in London.
She donned a pair of sleek, black, knee-high boots and crowned herself with a stylish black hat as the final touch.
