Ben Affleck is fascinated by the impact Jennifer Lopez has on the world. “An effect that I will never experience,” says Affleck.
Ben Affleck (49) spoke and raved about Jennifer Lopez (52) in an interview. He was impressed by the effect his girlfriend had on the world, said the actor, referring to her origins and professional career.
The American’s parents moved from Puerto Rico to the Bronx shortly before she was born. “As an artist, all I can do is make films that move people. Jennifer has inspired a huge group of people to have the feeling that they have a seat at the table in this country,” “AdWeek” quotes him in a portrait on Lopez.
Respect and admiration – on both sides
He heard over and over and over again how women of color told Jennifer personally how she served them as role models in the business world. Affleck believes that JLo’s role model function for women of color couldn’t be greater: “This is an effect that few people have had in the course of history, one that I will never experience and one that I can only stand by with respect and admire . “
Lopez had recently publicly admired her ex-boyfriend and current lover for his work. She made a video on the red carpet in Italy on Instagram on Affleck’s new film: “It’s the first script that Matt and Ben have written with Nicole Holofcener since ‘Good Will Hunting’ !! And it’s great!” Affleck and Matt Damon (50) won the 1998 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for “Good Will Hunting”.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck – dubbed Bennifer by the press – were a couple in the early 2000s and even engaged. After they were both married to other people in the meantime – he to Jennifer Garner (49), she to Marc Anthony (53) – they have been reunited since spring 2021.
