Ben Affleck is praising Jennifer Lopez for her outstanding performance in her latest film, “Unstoppable,” despite their recent divorce. The actor sat down for a Zoom interview with “Entertainment Tonight” host Nischelle Turner to discuss the sports drama, in which Lopez portrays the character of Judy Robles.
“Unstoppable” tells the inspiring true story of Judy’s unwavering support for her son, Anthony Robles, who overcomes his physical disability to achieve success in wrestling. During the interview, Turner asked Affleck how “Unstoppable” compares to his other projects, such as the Irish drama “Small Things Like These,” which features collaborations with Matt Damon and Cillian Murphy.
Affleck highlighted the distinctiveness of “Unstoppable” while also acknowledging the passion and talent of the artists involved in both films. When asked to comment on Lopez’s performance, Affleck simply stated, “Jennifer is spectacular.”
Despite their personal relationship coming to an end, Affleck and Lopez appear to be on good terms professionally. The couple, who tied the knot in 2022 without a prenuptial agreement, filed for divorce in 2024 citing irreconcilable differences. However, they continue to support each other in their respective careers.
Overall, Affleck’s praise for Lopez’s performance in “Unstoppable” serves as a testament to their mutual respect and admiration for each other’s work. The two may have ended their romantic relationship, but their professional collaboration continues to thrive.
