Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may be in the process of getting a divorce, but that hasn’t stopped Ben from recognizing ex-wife Lopez’s talent and giving her the credit for what she deserves. In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, he made a rare comment about her performance in his upcoming film – Unstoppable. In this biographical sports drama, which Affleck co-produced, Lopez portrays Judy Robles, the mother of a wrestler who was born with one leg.

“Unstoppable is… rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Affleck said. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer [Lopez] and Don Cheadle and Jharrel [Jerome] and Bobby Cannavale—all of whom were really passionate about this film… It speaks to a certain kind of thing I guess we’re drawn to, which is we really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply and emotionally connected to the story.”
As he talks ahead, he also mentions, “Jennifer’s spectacular” and also praised her fellow costars in the film.
“We believed in the right people, and Unstoppable is another example of that,” Affleck said. Affleck’s comments on Lopez’s performance in the film are among his first public remarks about his ex since she filed for divorce following two years of marriage this past August.
Lopez recently revealed about being single during a conversation with Nikki Glaser for Interview. “It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary. It feels sad. It feels desperate. But when you sit in those feelings and go, ‘These things are not going to kill me,’ it’s like actually, I am capable of joy and happiness all by myself,” she added.
