In full promotion of his new film, Atlas, actress Jennifer Lopez had a little clash with a journalist. The latter has indeed addressed an angry subject: the actress’s relationship with Ben Affleck.
Atlas : the new Netflix film
If she also has a career as an international singer, Jennifer Lopez is also well anchored in the audiovisual landscape. At the end of the 1990s she began a career as an actress, first on the small screen then in small roles on the big screen. It’s in the thriller Money Train(1995)with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes that she gets noticed first. We then find her, throughout her career, in more or less famous films like Anaconda (1997) Out of reach(1998) with Steven Soberbergh, Never again (2002), or more recently in Queen (2019).
After The Mother last year, Jennifer Lopez is back on Netflix with Atlas. Directed by Brad Peyton (San Andreas), the science fiction feature film was released this Friday May 24 on the platform. The story tells how Jennifer Lopez’s character is sent into space to recover a faulty robot.
Her relationship with Ben Affleck
In full promotion of Atlas, Jennifer Lopez created a buzz when she had a clash with a journalist (video below). At a press conference in Mexico with Simu Liualso in the casting ofAtlas, Jennifer Lopez rebuffed a journalist who asked him a question about his relationship with Ben Affleck. In fact, the two stars remarried two years ago. But rumors claim that the relationship is not in good shape and that the two American stars are on the verge of divorce. Simu Liu first spoke out to defend his co-star in the film:
Okay, we’re not going to do that. Thank you so much. It’s not very nice. Come on man, don’t come to the conference with that energy…
Jennifer Lopez then added:
You know very well that this cannot be done!
The press officer then ended the meeting. Before leaving, Simu Liu wanted to end on a more pleasant note by talking about Atlas and of Jennifer Lopez’s investment in the project:
If I can just end on one thing: Jen is a producer on this film. She’s the reason I’m here. Jen cares about this film. Jen cares about things like representation and diversity. Jen is a boss.
It has the merit of being clear. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are known to have had a stormy relationship over time. They previously dated in the early 2000s after filming Troubled Loves(2003). Ironically, the film was aptly named since their relationship hit the headlines on more than one occasion.
