Ben Affleck has been nothing but kind to his ex-wife, Jennifer Lopez, throughout their current divorce procedures. He has specifically praised her excellent performance in their forthcoming movie “Unstoppable.”
In a recent interview, co-producer Affleck spoke about the movie’s popularity and his admiration for Lopez’s work.
E! News reports that the producer and actor discussed the importance of passion in filmmaking, pointing out that ‘Unstoppable’ was unique due to the commitment of the staff and actors.
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than this, but in a way, it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Affleck said.
He emphasized the dedication of the movie’s actors, including Lopez, Bobby Cannavale, Jharrel Jerome, and Don Cheadle, who he claims were all fervently committed to the plot.
In addition, Affleck, who is currently promoting his movie “Small Things Like These,” said that he and his producing partner Matt Damon both firmly believe in the narrative’s potency and the significance of an actor’s relationship to the material.
“We really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply connected to the story,” he said to E! News.
Affleck did not mince words when he was questioned about Lopez’s performance in “Unstoppable.” “Jennifer’s spectacular,” he stated, highlighting how her acting and her co-stars’ efforts made the movie come to life.
According to E! News, he continued, “We believed in the right people, and ‘Unstoppable’ is another example of that.”
Despite their pending divorce, the former couple’s mutual professional dedication to promote their project is reflected in Affleck’s complimentary remarks.
Despite the pending divorce, director William Goldenberg said there was no discomfort or stress on set at the film’s September Toronto International Film Festival debut.
He emphasized that the emphasis remained on the task at hand, saying, “It’s always been about the movie, and that’s their personal business,” according to E! News.
According to E! News, Affleck has not yet made public comments regarding the specifics of his divorce, but his encouraging words follow Jennifer Lopez’s magazine article in which she spoke candidly about their split.
Lopez recently spoke about her feelings of freedom and personal development after her marriage ended.
She clarified, saying, “Being in a relationship doesn’t define me. If you want something that’s more complete, you have to be complete.” Finding happiness in other people is not something I can do. I must find contentment inside myself.
After two years of marriage, Jennifer Lopez, 55, and Ben Affleck, 52, have filed for divorce. April 26 is listed as the separation date in the August 20, 2024, petition. A prenatal agreement does not exist. Lopez is managing the legal procedure herself, putting her kids first. In 2021, the pair resumed their relationship.
