"Affleck is an executive producer on the film, which Lopez has been attached to since 2023, so his appearance wasn't random. In April 2024, it was announced that Affleck and (the real love of his life) Matt Damon would join the project as executive producers via their production company Artists Equity. Four months later, Lopez would file for divorce. But the show must go on, and if Affleck's effusive comments about his ex's performance are to be believed, the show is pretty damn good."
""Jennifer, you're incredible. Really, amazing job. You're phenomenal. Welcome to lifelong stardom. Enjoy it. There's ups and downs. But here you are," he said ahead of the screening, echoing comments he made earlier that night about how this was the role Lopez was "born to play." If that's not the seeds of a "Hey, I've been thinking about you..." text in the making, I don't know what is. Siri, turn up "Don't Go Back to His Ass" by Audrey Hobert, please."
Ben Affleck served as an executive producer on Jennifer Lopez's film, which Lopez joined in 2023, and he and Matt Damon joined via Artists Equity in April 2024. Lopez filed for divorce four months later. Affleck publicly praised Lopez's performance ahead of a Sundance screening, calling her incredible, phenomenal, and welcoming her to lifelong stardom, and saying the role felt like one she was born to play. The film is an adaptation of a 1976 novel turned film and Broadway musical; Lopez plays Aurora, a fantasy woman imagined by an imprisoned gay Argentinian hairdresser. The film received strong Sundance reviews and sparked Oscar speculation.
