Jennifer Lopez "comprehended" the intricacies of a hazardous relationship for her part in a wrestling biopic.
In August, Ben Affleck was filed for divorce by his estranged wife, Lopez.
Jennifer Lopez drew upon her own experiences to fully comprehend her portrayal of a wrestler in the film "Unstoppable."
Judy Robles, portrayed by Lopez, 55, is the focus of a sports biopic that follows the journey of her son, wrestler Anthony Robles, who overcame numerous obstacles to become an NCAA champion despite being born with one leg.
In the film, Jharrel Jerome portrays Anthony, who faces his own difficulties, while the matriarch of the movie raises four children and deals with an abusive and unfaithful husband, played by Bobby Cannavale.
Lopez, currently going through a divorce with her estranged husband Ben Affleck, acknowledged her ability to understand Judy's decision to remain in a harmful relationship.
Lopez revealed to Entertainment Weekly that there was a lot about her that he understood. He also shared that there were different sides to him that the kids didn't see, but only Judy saw.
"Those individuals may give the impression of caring and loving you, but in reality, they are causing harm to you due to their own damage."
Cannavale discussed with Lopez how their characters' relationship was co-dependent and how it brought up memories from the past.
"We both recognized that we had experienced this situation before and understood its complexity," Cannavale stated. "The perspective of aging has allowed us to view it with more empathy and playfulness, knowing how fragile the relationship is."
Lopez stated that despite the dysfunctional and unhealthy nature of their relationship, she loved him deeply and desired his presence in her life. He was the father of four of her children.
"Despite being furious and distressed with him, she could still warmly welcome him back in an instant, just like in the movie, which was emotionally wrenching."
"There was a lot going on with the two of them that was dysfunctional and unhealthy, but she loved him and wanted him to be there." — Jennifer Lopez
On the two-year anniversary of their wedding in Georgia, Lopez filed for divorce from her fourth husband, Ben Affleck.
In 2022, they exchanged their vows during a surprise wedding in Las Vegas.
A source close to Lopez revealed to Planet Chronicle Digital that the star was "heartbroken" by the divorce.
The singer, known for "Waiting for Tonight," put forth her utmost effort to salvage the marriage after the couple reignited their romance during the pandemic, according to the source.
In 2002, Affleck and Lopez met while working on the set of "Gigli" and planned to get married in September 2003. However, they postponed the wedding and eventually ended their relationship at the beginning of 2004.
