Ben Affleck still respects Jennifer Lopez despite their breakup
The “Argo” director, 52, recently praised his soon-to-be ex-wife while discussing her performance in their upcoming movie “Unstoppable.”
Affleck and Matt Damon, who produced “Unstoppable” via their production company, Artists Equity, were joined by Cillian Murphy for an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Sunday about their film “Small Things Like These.” The reporter asked Affleck about “Unstoppable,” which stars Lopez, 55, as the mother of a one-legged athlete.
“‘Unstoppable’ is a very different movie than this, but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” said Affleck. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel … All of them were really passionate about this film.”
“We really believe in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply emotionally connected to the story,” he continued.
Affleck added that “Jennifer is spectacular” in “Unstoppable.”
“It’s another one that we’re really, really proud of,” he noted. “We believed in the right people, and ‘Unstoppable’ is another example of that.”
Affleck and Lopez were married for two years before Lopez filed for divorce on Aug. 20, the anniversary of the former couple’s second wedding ceremony.
