'Heartbroken' Diego Luna misses Jennifer Lopez movie premiere at Sundance due to 'family emergency'
Briefly

Jennifer Lopez's new film, 'Kiss of the Spider Woman,' premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where co-star Diego Luna was absent due to a family emergency in Madrid. Director Bill Condon expressed Luna's deep disappointment over missing the premiere. The film, an adaptation of a Tony Award-winning musical based on Manuel Puig's novel, showcases Lopez's impressive performance alongside Luna's portrayal of a political prisoner. The audience's response included a standing ovation, which moved Lopez, who reflected on her career and inspirations from childhood, particularly the influence of 'West Side Story.'
"Diego sends his love. I know he had a family emergency that kept him in Madrid, but he's heartbroken not to be here," said director Bill Condon.
"I've been waiting for this moment my whole life," the superstar told the crowd, "The reason I even wanted to be in this business is because my mom would sit me in front of the TV and ['West Side Story'] would come on once a year."
