00:00Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez may be in the process of getting a divorce, but that
00:04does not stop Affleck from giving credit where it is due.
00:07In a latest interview with Entertainment Tonight, Ben Affleck made a rare comment about his
00:12ex-wife Jennifer Lopez's performance in his new film, Unstoppable.
00:16In the biographical sports drama, which is produced by Ben Affleck himself, Lopez plays
00:21Judy Robles, the mother of a wrestler who was born with one leg.
00:27In the interview, Ben says, Unstoppable is rooted in the passion of really talented
00:31artists, Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer, and Don and Jarrell, and Bobby Cannavale, all
00:36of whom were really passionate about this film.
00:39It speaks to a certain kind of thing I guess we are drawn to, which is we really believe
00:43in the power of storytelling when the people involved in it are deeply and emotionally
00:47connected to the story.
00:50He also added, Jennifer is spectacular.
00:53He continued to praise her fellow co-stars as well.
00:57We believed in the right people and Unstoppable is another example of that, he added.
01:03Affleck's remarks on Lopez's performance in the film marks one of his first public comments
01:07about his ex since she filed for divorce after two years of marriage this past August.
01:13Recently, Jennifer Lopez had also opened up about being single during a conversation with
01:19Nikki Glaser for interview.
01:21It feels lonely, unfamiliar, scary.
01:23It feels sad.
01:25It feels desperate.
01:26But when you sit in those feelings and go, these things are not going to kill me.
01:30It's like, actually I'm capable of joy and happiness all by myself," she added.
