During his chat with Entertainment Tonight, Ben Affleck spoke about Jennifer Lopez and the Upstoppable crew.
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than this,” Affleck stated, referring to his new film. “But in a way, it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists. Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel … All of them were really passionate about this film.”
After calling Lopez spectacular, Affleck declared, “It’s another one that we’re really, really proud of. We believed in the right people, and Unstoppable is another example of that.”
Unstoppable centers around the life of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg. He won a national championship in 2011 while competing at Arizona State University.
Lopez plays Judy Robles, who is Anthony’s mother.

Jennifer Lopez recently stated that she is “not looking for anybody” to date as she and Ben Affleck finalize their divorce.

Lopez officially filed for divorce in August after months of speculation. The former spouses were together for two years before calling it quits.
