Monday, November 4, 2024 - American actor, Ben Affleck has praised his estranged wife Jennifer Lopez's performance in the forthcoming film Unstoppable, which he's a producer on.
The Air actor-director, 52, who's in the middle of
a divorce with Lopez, 55, told Entertainment Tonight Sunday that
'Jennifer is spectacular' in the role of Judy Robles in the sports drama.
The two-time Oscar-winner appeared in the interview
with friend and Artists Equity production partner Matt Damon, 54; and
reigning Best Actor Oscar winner Cillian Murphy, 48.
'Unstoppable is a very different movie than this
but in a way, it's similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,'
said Affleck. 'Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel, and Bobby
Cannavale - all were really passionate about this film.'
Affleck said that Unstoppable 'is another example
of' the kind of films that he and Damon are 'really really proud of,' and
'believed in the right people' in collaborating with.
Lopez, in a chat with Nikki Glaser published
in Interview magazine on October 9, said that she is handling the
latest chapter in her life with the wisdom that comes with life experience.
'I think my whole life I've just been trying to say
I'm good enough, until where I am now when I know,' Lopez said. 'I'm giving
myself credit. I'm telling that little girl that grew up in the Bronx,
"You've done really good for yourself." I didn't do that for so many
years.
now I think, with everything that's happened
in my life and in my relationships and even in my career, it's like, give
yourself a bit of comfort and love.'
Lopez talked about how she copes with adversity
amid trying times.
'We've been through a lot of things that nobody
knows about, and you've persevered and you refuse to give up and to let it get
you down,' she said.
'There's something to be said for that because
things can really change your life in a way that you do want to give up and
say, "F*** this, this is too hard, I don't want to do this anymore."
'But I'm not there. I refuse to not give myself
everything that little girl deserves.'
'What fun, what a joy to do something with her, see
her be great, go to work with your wife, go to work with your best friend,'
Affleck said at the time. 'If you don't like who you're working with, and
if you have difficulty or trouble at work, I think it's one of the things that
can really cause depression, anxiety and pain for people.
'And conversely, [if] you love the people at work,
you probably have a pretty good life, you know?'
Lopez filed for divorce on August 20, 2024 divorce
after months of speculation swirling around the relationship between the A-list
singer-actress and actor-director.
She filed the documents on the two-year anniversary
of their nuptials at Affleck's estate outside of Savannah, Georgia on August
20, 2022.
Lopez and Affleck made headlines in 2021 when they
rekindled their romance, nearly 17 years after calling off their original
engagement and postponing their September 2003 wedding.
