Ben Affleck is praising Jennifer Lopez for her “spectacular” performance in her most recent film, “Unstoppable,” even after the two of them got divorced.
This is the background. In an interview with “Entertainment Tonight” anchor Nischelle Turner via Zoom on Sunday, Affleck discussed the sports drama in which Lopez portrays Judy Robles.
Anthony Robles was born with one leg, yet he overcomes it and earns a seat on the Arizona State University wrestling team. The true story centers on Judy’s unflinching support for her son.
Turner questioned Affleck on the film’s similarities to his previous works during the ‘ET’ interview, including the Irish drama “Small Things Like These,” which starred Cillian Murphy and was co-produced by Matt Damon. Both of them were present on the Zoom chat.
“Unstoppable” is extremely different from “Small Things Like These,” yet both films have the creators’ brilliance and passion, according to Affleck.
Then, in just three words, Affleck recognized the excellence of J Lo’s performance in “Unstoppable”: “Jennifer is spectacular.”
J Lo and Ben got married in 2022 without a prenuptial agreement, as we previously reported. However, J Lo claimed irreconcilable differences in her divorce filing in 2024.
The two seem to be in a better place now … at least on a professional level
